Simple drill training to develop soft, “pillow-like” hands in... all three glove lanes: neutral, forehand, and backhand. Using firm, belly-button-high underhand feeds with a real baseball, this drill develops rhythm, tempo, timing, soft touch, and hand-eye coordination. Adding a second baseball increases the difficulty and challenges even elite players’ hands, focus, and timing.show more

Self-Toss Short Hop Drill One of the best ways... to develop game-ready hands in a small space. Work ground balls at you, declared backhands, and glove-side picks with both 1-hop and 2-hop variations. Keys: 1. Start low, stay low, move low. 2. Be on time to the short hop. 3. Let your feet create the hop you want. If you’re late, you’ll get an in-between hop. Really late? A big hop. Neither is the goal. Elite defenders hunt the short hop. Simple setup. Tons of reps. Big-time transfer to the game.show more

⚽️👇 Activity Description Below This is a Breaking Lines... practice from Drill Library. In this drill, players work on breaking defensive lines through quick ball movement and intelligent positioning. The aim is to find and pass to two teammates who are positioned beyond the opposition’s defensive line, replicating scenarios that occur in real match situations. The setup includes 3 players in possession versus 3 defenders in a locked central grid. The 3 attackers must circulate the ball quickly, using clever movement and combination play to disrupt the defensive structure. The team shape resembles a 2-3-3-2, with 3 defenders trying to block access while 2 target players wait beyond the line to receive a penetrating pass. ✅ Click below to view 700+ specialised & adaptable training activities ↙️ 💻show more

These 2 key throwing drills focus on body control... and following throws. Many players from youth through HS don’t have good body control to transition from an athletic move (play) into an accurate throw. They also don’t follow their throws. ** Instead they cut themselves off and lose all momentum and direction to target. Following a throw improves “carry” or the ability of a baseball to travel further with the same effort put into the throw. It also reduces stress on the arm. Lastly, when a player follows their throw correctly, it improves accuracy. ** Notice player 1 (LHP/1B) cuts off his follow just a bit compared to player two (C). Key: The faster you sprint into the throw, the more the follow will begin to happen naturally. Both players shown played in college after graduation and both had very strong college careers. These drills, as well as many others, should be done regularly to help players become elite throwers and significantly improve game success.

We’ve seen guys like Judge, Stanton, Wells and others... tinker with their stances to get into a better hitting position to attack strikes in the zone. When a guy like Volpe has struggled to hit consistently for his first 3 years, is constantly late on mid-velocity heaters in the middle of the zone and is constantly off-balance when he misses the off-speed stuff; you think to take a look at his pre-pitch habits especially what he’s doing with his hands and stride, and consider eliminating some of the unnecessary movements to simplify things and be ready to attack a pitch in the strike zone sooner. Volpe starts with his hands high above his head with some waggle to probably keep his hands moving and stay in rhythm, then as he strides he drops his hands into the slot while he loads, then wraps his hands behind him as he strides and keeps his weight back on his backside. That front foot needs to get down early as he gets his hands back to be ready to smoke something in the zone. Why hasn’t someone suggested dropping his hands pre-pitch in his stance to get them into the slot early, keep them back to prevent wrapping, and cut out one less moving part to get him better ready to attack pitches in the zone? He can even still have some waggle back there if he prefers to keep his hands moving. In theory if his hands are down and back already, all he needs to do is get his front foot down in time? It’s worth a try lolshow more

Feel pretty strongly about this one... got a chance... to see Ollie Obenour again yesterday. He is an elite defender. Will play SS at a very high level. He has everything you want... actions, arm, intangibles, skill set, it's all there. Plays with a humble swagger that you can't teach. Wants the ball. He made a ridiculous diving play in the 5-6 hole with a rifle across the diamond. The type of play that only elite defenders make. Ollie is a dirtbag baseball rat from a baseball family. Always at the field or in the cages. High floor recruit with a huge ceiling. The type of player that you like more and more as you watch how he plays the game. Someone is going to get a winner.

Going with the trend of viral Korean baseball video... Seedance for video GPT Image 2 for image Prompt : Use the uploaded reference image as the strongest identity anchor. The woman must look like the exact same adult Japanese woman from the reference image, not a similar person. Preserve her exact facial identity, same soft oval face, same glossy lips, same delicate nose, same large expressive eyes, same pale smooth skin, and same long voluminous curly blonde hair with soft layered bangs. Create an ultra-realistic candid KBO baseball broadcast video scene during a lively night game. The woman is seated in the crowd beside her boyfriend, both wearing casual baseball jerseys among energetic cheering fans. She naturally watches the game while smiling and laughing softly with him. No dialogue, no talking, no cinematic acting. The interaction should feel completely natural and unscripted, like a real live broadcast moment accidentally captured by the stadium camera. She holds yellow cheering sticks and lightly taps them together while cheering for the team. The boyfriend leans closer and they share a very short soft kiss lasting about one second, subtle and natural, not dramatic or romanticized. Immediately after the kiss, she realizes the live stadium camera is focused on them on the giant screen. She becomes shy and slightly embarrassed for a moment, then gives a soft cute smile toward the camera while trying not to laugh. Her reaction should feel authentic, candid, and spontaneous, like a real fan unexpectedly shown on TV. Use realistic Korean baseball TV broadcast cinematography: long telephoto lens compression, slight handheld camera movement, subtle motion blur from cheering fans, realistic stadium lighting, shallow depth of field, natural skin texture, broadcast softness, authentic crowd reactions, imperfect framing, 16:9 live sports broadcast composition, genuine candid atmosphere.show more

Many people are unaware of this but Hand Dryers... get disgustingly dirty due to their design and the nasty environment they’re in All you have to do is flip the blower over These units pull air from the room and to blow on your hands. Public restrooms have high humidity, aerosolized particles from toilets like fecal matter and bacteria get airborne when flushing. So does dust, lint, soap scum, skin cells, hair, and mineral deposits from water. Over time, this stuff gets trapped inside But it gets even worse, there are real studies on this. It’s a real, well-documented issue Studies have shown hand dryers can blow out bacteria, sometimes including fecal bacteria, onto clean hands because they’re circulating contaminated air I never use these anymoreshow more

Listen, I don’t know shit about fuck, but here... is my honest critique: Ditch the bag, get a good holster and belt system, carry on body. I use a Bawidamann Gotham + Viking Tatics CCW belt and inner belt all day. If you’re going to temple index, meat of the palm on your temple, not muzzle next to Tempe. That was dangerous and silly. We leave our non shooting hand free, it’s not a two handed maneuver. Shit happens. The drill should’ve been stopped immediately there and corrected. Get to cover for a reload, don’t dance around, that mag on the ground is gone, try to be cognizant of your guns condition if you’re doing an emergency reload versus topping off... You can simulate cover with a barricade/change in elevation. Try to use workspace to get it done efficiently. You still need to earn that space back when the gun is back in the fight. We fight, assess, and scan. Take cover, top off, trade up, take off, treat injuries, talk to who needs to be talked to. Deliberately and violently. You look super tense. I think it’s time to slow down and start with the fundamentals. Everything else is a distraction. The drill itself, shooting from retention, is valuable. However there is work to be done to make this applicable IMHO. Otherwise it’s fanfare. I like to start this drill with my non firing hand on my head and elbow extended to the target in a block, then a single handed draw and shooting from retention that is high and tight as possible, otherwise you risk losing that gun. If you want some real practical training, go down to AZ and hit a two day with Warlizard Tactical. In time you will see. It’s a journey, we all grow. I can’t recommend them enough. Good on your for getting out there an training. Here’s some close up stuff and some temple index:show more

Was happy to get my first look at SS... Rock Arnold (OSU Cowboy Baseball) down in Jupiter. Went 1-for-2 in the game I saw him and hammered a backside RBI triple. Recently re-classed into the C/O 2026. Listed at 6'1" and 190-lbs, Arnold has a lean, athletic frame with some length in his lower-half and present strength. Stands fairly tall in the box, small leg lift gives way to a normal stride. Hands will drift and drop a bit in his load that includes a barrel tip. Present bat and hand speed, slightly uphill swing path that's geared towards lifting the baseball. There's a degree of adjustability in Arnold's swing, and he's shown the ability to drop his back knee to help create leverage. Some swing and miss, particularly against secondaries, but Arnold's swing decisions were sound and he stayed within the strike zone in my look. Has shown he can impact the baseball—especially to the pull side. Arnold's athleticism is evident both in the box and on the dirt. Flashed an above-average arm on the left side of the infield with solid carry across the diamond. Didn't display the quickest first step on the play I saw him attempt to make, though he showed comfortability attacking the baseball. Figures to get the chance to stick at shortstop. When bucketing these players out, Arnold fits into a handful of them: He's an athletic, lefthanded hitting SS with present power and potentially more on the way. Definite name to follow closely this spring in the Northeast.show more

I’ve been obsessed with forearm training ever since I... was a kid playing baseball. One moment that really stuck with me was seeing Mark McGwire play in person and being absolutely blown away by the size of his forearms. That left a lasting impression on me. Strong forearms and a powerful grip aren’t just about looking impressive. They carry over into nearly everything we do, helping us lift heavier, control weights better, improve pulling strength, enhance athletic performance, and make everyday tasks easier. A stronger grip is a foundation for strength throughout the body. Personally, I like using the Captain of Crush hand grippers one to two times per week, varying my sets and reps depending on how I’m feeling and what I’m training. It’s simple, effective, and something I’ve consistently believed in for years. I’m a big believer in training every part of the body and leaving no stone unturned. The little things add up over time and often become the difference makers, and that’s the last bite. Feed Me More!show more

15-Second Cinematic Product Ad Modern Hair Dryer Woman Styling... Hair & Salon Finish Created with seedance 2.0 Prompt: Create a 15-second high-end cinematic advertisement featuring a modern hairdryer. The video opens in a softly lit bathroom with a woman standing in front of a mirror after a shower, her hair slightly damp. The camera captures a close-up of her calm expression as she picks up a sleek, lightweight hairdryer. Her hands must look natural, feminine, and realistic (not masculine, not oversized, and not rough) with proper skin texture and believable proportions as she holds and operates the hairdryer. She turns it on—soft airflow sound—and the scene transitions into smooth slow-motion shots of her styling her hair effortlessly. Show close-ups of the powerful airflow smoothing frizz, adding shine, and shaping volume. Highlight different heat settings with subtle visual cues (cool air, medium, hot). Cut to quick beauty shots: her hair becoming silky, shiny, and salon-smooth within seconds. The woman smiles confidently as she runs her fingers naturally through her styled hair. Final 3 seconds: Hero shot of the hairdryer on a clean, minimal background with glowing highlights, paired with text-style messaging: “Fast Drying. Frizz Control. Salon Finish at Home.” Style: Premium beauty commercial, soft natural lighting, smooth transitions, slow motion, shallow depth of field, elegant and aspirational tone. No dialogue, only soft ambient music and refined sound design.show more

RHP/1B Trace Phillips (Middle Tennessee Baseball) is an interesting... draft-eligible sophomore on which to keep close tabs. Last spring, he hit .304/.360/.547 with 8 2B, 13 HR and 47 RBIs, but it’s his ability on the mound that's the root of his buzz. Phillips' back of the baseball card numbers last season are modest, but there is more to it than meets the eye. At 6'3" and 185-lbs, Phillips has an athletic, high-waisted frame. In the box, he has a simple setup with an ear-high handset and the bat horizontal above his back shoulder. Phillips has a slight load in which he has a noticeable barrel tip and a small stride. He moves well in the box and has some scissor action with his back leg. Phillips’ pure hit tool is fringey, but he has plus raw power and has shown the ability to drive the baseball to all fields. Max EV last spring of 109.4, if he's able to lift the ball more it will lead to a more impressive power output. Phillips’ current prospect status is largely driven by his ability on the mound. His numbers were unimpressive last season, but he took a step forward this fall. There’s some low hanging fruit to clean up in his delivery, but he has a short, whippy arm stroke and attacks from a low-three quarters slot with plenty of arm speed. Phillips’ FB has been up to 96 with ride through the zone (particular life at the top), though his best pitch is a high-70s-to-low-80s CH. He does a nice job of killing spin on it, and It averaged almost 15 MPH off his fastball this fall. It’s a plus pitch that flashes both fade to the arm side as well late tumble. Phillips completes his arsenal with a mid-80s slider that flashed above-average this fall with sharp, two-plane tilt. Both his changeup and slider profile as legitimate swing-and-miss offerings. Another positive development with Phillips this fall is that his strike-throwing took a step in the right direction. Mid-4th-6th round type this July. (📽️: Middle Tennessee Baseball)show more
