My opinion, “Knob to the ball” is one of the worst cues you can give a hitter. Not only is it internal but it causes a pushing of the bat. Barrel must jump in front of knob!!!

Here’s an example of elite defense at 1b that 99% of people in attendance wouldn’t appreciate. You can receive the ball in foul territory to import your catch probability!!

Reminds me of ⁦Clint Hurdle⁩ advice… Ahead in the count don’t be late. Behind in the count don’t be early.

Alabama hit this ball with the bases loaded and 1 out. They scored 1 run in the inning. I’m at a loss how colleges teach base running. I don’t understand why the runner at 2nd is tagging. Someone explain this to me!!!! 🤷‍♂️👂

All hitting coaches have “their thing.” One of my things is that front ankle. When it rolls on its side, the barrel is permitted to be delivered squarely. It’s not a teach but rather a clue. #WeRollAnkles

This is a classic example of “resulting.” This is a terrible read by the runner at 2nd and yet the announcer calls it a “heads up play.” I have a hunch the coaches weren’t altogether pleased with this “heads up play.”

Parents: This is one man's opinion but the shaming you've had to endure for coaching your athlete has gone on too long. Share. Teach. Coach. Fight for what's right. No one knows more than everyone. #BeLessWrongTomorrow

I’m beyond confused with the base running here. Not only did the runner at 2nd tag, but so did the runner at 1st. Am I crazy?

Such an elite skill Adam Cecere shows here. Can you move the barrel without moving your hands forward? 👏👏👏

Right now I’m obsessed with the idea of “not fighting for extension” and getting the barrel to jump in front of the hands as early as possible. Notice how close his hands are to his torso at impact. #SubtleAdjustmentsIn #WeRollAnkles

To bunt or not to bunt??? Run expectancy should NOT be the determining factor. #StatisticsInSports

Calling pitches is a collaboration between Coach and Catcher. Think Game Theory instead of Static Thoughts. Adaptable beats Optimal!

I ran a practice the other day for a 13u team that tapped into FLOW design and DELIBERATE PRACTICE!!! I absolutely loved it! If you’re interested in the whole clip, shoot me a DM and I’ll share the entire practice. #Imagination #Flow #TestBoundaries #StopWinningPractice

One of the hardest ideas to communicate is SPIN RATE! Batting practice from an arm simply can't simulate the spin. It's why machines are becoming more and more popular. A shout out to Doug Mientkiewicz! The Task, The Organism and The Environment must always be considered.
