Andrew Abbott has a 6.59 ERA over 28 IP this season.. He had a 2.87 ERA over 166 IP last season… Andrew threw the ball with the muscles of motor tract 1 last season… He’s using motor tract 5 muscles this season… Watch how differently his left arm and left pec region move through his delivery… Consciously, he’s just throwing the ball….subconsciously his vestibulospinal tract (and others) are signaling different muscles to move his body…. MT5 on left vs MT1 on right

Fernando Tatis was hitting .342 with 8 HR’s on May 3, 2025…. He’s hitting .261 with 0 HR’s on May 3, 2026… Anybody with eyes can see his body is moving differently…. Anybody that understands neuroanatomy knows why he he’s moving differently…. The muscles that move our shoulder girdle are part of the extrapyramidal motor tracts….This means they are “controlled” subconsciously…. Consciously, Fernando is just hitting….Subconsciously his central nervous system is only allowing him to use his rhomboid minor and 1/3 of his serratus anterior… It’s always the strangest things that change the motor tracts and it has nothing to do with hitting.

Here’s a good look at what the Nationals “new focus on technology” has done to James Wood’s swing… James is using the muscles of motor tract 5 on both sides of his body this season. (He hit .125 this spring after going 0-4 with 4 K’s last night) He used the muscles of motor tract 1 on both sides last May when he hit .330 with 7 HR’s. Dylan Crews (.103) and Jacob Young (.125) have used the same motor tract 5 muscles on both sides of their body this spring as well.

If order to hit a big league fastball your brain needs to decide to pull the trigger roughly 25 feet from the ball reaching the plate…. In order to do that, your eyes must be oriented at a spot 25 feet to your left for a righty or 25 feet to your right if you are a lefty…. This begs the question what is the point of hitting off of a tee?…The body will never work the same vs a live ball…. Look how different Mike Trout looks when hitting off of a tee vs hitting a live ball…Watch his left arm and left shoulder do completely different things. The right forearm supinates vs an overhand pitch but it pronates vs the tee…. It’s a function of where the biceps inserts onto the radius. There isn’t a hitter on earth that will use the same swing mechanics off of a tee as they will vs an overhand pitch.

Kyren Paris has hit .157 with 7 HR’s in his first 217 big league at bats…. Albert Pujols hit .354 with 20 HR’s in his first 217 big league at bats… Kyren Paris hits with the muscles of motor tract 5 on his right side… Albert Pujols hit with the muscles of motor tract 1 on his right side…. MT1 uses the pec major to internally rotate the humerus towards contact… MT1 uses 5 uses the latissimus dorsi to medially rotate the humerus towards contact… Watch their rear shoulder/chest area at front foot heel strike and you will see just how different they are moving.

Mike Trout was a career .301 hitter entering the 2024 season… He’s hit a combined .230 the last 2 years… Trout went from using the muscles of motor tract 1 on his right side to using motor tract 5…. His entire rights side uses different muscles because of it….Watch how different his head moves in each instance…. You can also notice a difference in the thumb muscle securing the bat along with the neck muscle that rotates his head. Cranial nerve 11 innervates the sternocleidomastoid muscle along with the trapezius muscle…..MT 1 uses the sternocleidomastoid as the primary neck rotator…..MT5 uses the trapezius as the primary neck rotator of the neck.

Chase Burns gave up 7 runs in 1/3 IP tonight…. Chase holds his glove with the muscles of motor tract 5 so he has no choice but to tip his slider… He did it last time out vs the Yankees too but New York doesn’t seem to have this tell…. They missed it vs Severino yesterday too although they did take advantage of his wildness as he tried to mask it (he didn’t mask it). Here’s what happens every time a pitcher holds his glove with the muscles of motor tract 5…. There are dozens of pitchers that do this…..Some teams are really good at exploiting this and others have no clue it exists.

Jordan Walker used the muscles of motor tract 2 on his left side from opening day until April 15th…He was 21-64 (.328) with 8 HR’s and 19K’s during that stretch… He’s been using the muscles of motor tract 4 on his left side ever since…He’s 6-33 (.182) with 0 HR’s and 16K’s during this current stretch. Watch how differently Jordan’s body is working in each instance …The video on the left was his base hit vs Seattle today. Jordan could get back into MT2 at any time but he needs to know why he was ever in it in the first place.

Aaron Judge holds the bat with a closed pack position in his right elbow… Bobby Witt holds the bat with a closed pack position in his left elbow…. This means Judge’s left hip “turns his right hip” when he loads and his right hip “turns his left hip” when he swings…. It’s the opposite for Witt. His right hip “turns his left hip” when he loads and his left hip “turns his right hip” when he swings. An anatomist would simply tell you that Judge uses his TFL as his agonist muscle on his left side at load while Witt uses his TFL as his antagonist muscle on his load. Follow their hips in each instance and you’ll see what I mean… If you initiate your load with an active upper body, the feeling these guys get when they load is nothing like the feeling you get when you load.

Jesus Luzardo pitches vs the Red Sox tonight…. Luzardo has tipped his breaking ball from the stretch all season long…. There are a couple of guys in Red Sox uniforms that have feasted on this tell for the better part of a decade… Jesus has tried setting his hands at his chest, his abdomen, and his hips and none of it matters because he uses the muscles of motor tract 5…. I’m sure most MLB hitters have never heard of something called motor tract 5 but there are a lot of them know where to look to see something telling when a pitcher comes set. Fastball on left vs breaking ball on right

Jac Caglianone went 0-4 tonight and is now hitting ,194 with 2 HR’s in 67 AB’s…. Jac had 15 HR’s in the minors and was hitting .322 prior to his call up Jac has made a mindless change to his prehension recently and it’s completely changed how his front side moves when he swings… Jac usually uses motor tract 2 on the right side of his body but his change in prehension forces him to use motor tract 5…. Here’s how different his body moves because of it.
