Apparently talking about barrel path is controversial now… so let’s make it worse. 😂 Today’s lesson is about two things: • The plane of the pitch (high vs. low) • The direction you release the barrel (pull side, middle, or opposite field) The plane changes based on pitch height.... show more

High Pitch Feel (Tire Work) •Shoulder line works downhill → rear elbow slots → barrel on plane. •The tire forces the hitter to hold posture and stay connected, unlike a tee where it’s easy to cheat by dropping hands or rolling over. •Teaches hitters to release the barrel out front with strength and control. •New hitter JulesAmoroso #3 2028 is getting her first dose of high-tire work building the down feel and learning proper shoulder path. Low Pitch Adjustment •Shoulders stay above the ball. •Rear knee drives down and under → creates true tilt and upward barrel path. •The lower the pitch, the more the knee works. Walk-Through Progression •Knee up and stride down with front-foot pressure. •Controls center mass, keeps balance, and prevents collapsing. ✅ Master the high first the low will follow naturally.

REAL HITTERS. REAL MOVEMENT. REAL TEACHING. 1/ Will Clark — Bottom Hand + Shoulder Angle = The Down Comes First Clark explains the bottom arm works with the shoulders on the down. That’s posture. That’s angle. That’s barrel organization. • High tire / high tee • The down organizes the up • Movement creates path Not cues movement. 2/ Mookie Betts — Shoulders Stay Above the Ball Mookie explains keeping the shoulders above the ball is what lets the rear elbow match plane. • Shoulders set the plane • Rear elbow gets on plane through posture • High-tire work reinforces it Not “turn the barrel early.” Movement creates plane → plane creates path. 3/ Will Clark (Again) — Dusty Baker: “Take Your Rear Hip to the Ball” That’s femur action: down → in → under. Same pattern as the throw. No spinning. No artificial torque. Just human movement sequencing. 4/ Jeff Kent — Oppo Walk-Throughs Reveal Direction Kent wasn’t doing a gimmick. He was showing pure direction under momentum: • posture stable • direction honest • top-hand release real • body organized Elite hitters move with direction, not against it. 5/ Nolan Arenado — Nose Down, Eye Down, Torso Completing Arenado is positional integrity: • nose down through contact • backside eye down the line • shoulders matching pitch plane • torso completing around center mass • rear hip + rear elbow staying connected He’s not repeating a swing he’s repeating movement sequencing. 6/ Mike Trout — Top-Hand Release Into Dab Finish Low pitch = top-hand dab by the ear because his body created the natural up. Not tilt. Not manipulation. The sequence finishes itself. 7/ Shohei Ohtani — The Clearest Example of Force Coupling on Earth Ohtani is biomechanics in HD: • pelvis gaining ground • torso stacking over front side • rear glute throwing the body forward • rear knee turning down → in → under • rear lat anchoring the hands • backside crashing into a braced front side That collision IS force coupling. It transfers all the stored energy into the ball. No leaks. No wasted power. Power comes from movement, not cues. The body creates the swing the swing never creates the body. 8/ Adrian Beltre — Knee Down, Femur Action, True Natural Up Beltre on a low pitch is a biomechanics lecture: • knee works down • femur turns down → up • torso turns deeper behind the ball • rear hip + torso stay connected • lift comes from turning UNDER and BEHIND the pitch No fake tilt. No dragging. No hand manipulation. Natural lift is a movement outcome, not a cue. 9/ Alex Bregman — The Miss Tells the Truth On a miss he still shows elite control: • heel-to-toe • back shoulder to cheek • rear foot stable • torso stacked • posture balanced If a hitter can control chaos, the movement is real. 10/ Frank Thomas — Top-Hand Release + Back-Foot Release Direction and posture decide release. Not cues. Not drills. Just pure human movement. THE TRUTH THE INDUSTRY IGNORES Everything hitters need is right in front of them if you study movement not just the swing. The swing is the final 30%. The other 70% is: • shoulder angles • femur action • ground-force anticipation • center-mass control • torso completion • force coupling • front-side bracing • rear-lat anchoring That’s the REAL engine of elite hitting. Most instructors: ✓ study the swing ✗ ignore the movement So they miss: • how the down organizes the up • how posture sets plane • how the femur organizes direction • how the pelvis gains ground • how the torso completes • how force coupling transfers energy • how adjustability is created If you don’t study movement, you will never understand hitting.

The first pitch of Saturday's Orioles-Royals game, right after Bally Sports Kansas City introduces the umpiring crew.... "Fastball is right down the middle for ball one." "What?! My goodness! Not on pitch one!" "What part of that pitch is not a strike?" ⚾️👮‍♂️🎙️

Justin Verlander on the biggest change in pitching since 2005: Analytics changed everything. Some of it's great. But JV says the danger now is analysts deciding whether a pitch is good based on the data, instead of how hitters actually react to it in games.

🚨 Jacob Wilson - Reading Swings At SS you can anticipate where the ball is going to be hit based on: • Past swings of the hitter • Type & location of the next pitch ⭐️ Example: FB away to a righty - anticipate a ball up the middle. Changeup low & in = pull side.

This is one of the greatest feelings a hitter will ever experience… and most players never learn it. This drill has nothing to do with mechanics. It has everything to do with execution. The pitcher mixes fastballs and slow balls. Your only two rules: ⚾ Slow pitch or spin? Don’t roll it over. ⚾ Fastball? Don’t pull it. Now you’re forced to recognize speed instead of guessing. You’re training your eyes, your timing, and your approach—not just your swing. This is one of my favorite two-strike drills because it teaches hitters to trust what they see instead of committing too early. A great swing is important. Knowing when to use it is what separates hitters. Train with an expert, not an influencer.

Hitting Dumbed Down -Ever feel like you’re dragging the barrel too far when you start your swing? You’re not alone—THIS HITTER struggled with the same issue.” Instead of getting on plane early and driving the ball, the barrel was dragging, getting stuck, and leading to weak ground balls and pop ups the other way THIS HITTERS THOUGHT/ fix? “Think about slicing your shoulder toward the ball. Don’t let your barrel drift too far behind.” “When you ‘slice the shoulder,’ you create a tighter, more efficient turn behind the ball, staying on plane longer and driving through the pitch.” “The result for him? More consistent contact, more power, and the barrel is exactly where it needed to be.” “If you have this issue & Next time you’re in the cage, focus on slicing that shoulder—it could be the key to unlocking your best swing.” “Tag someone who needs this tip, and let’s get to work! 💪⚾””””for those not in at Tampa Bay, I do a remote training via the SEAMSUP APP.

Luxon butchering Te Reo before he launches into one of his woke progressive speeches is like hearing the pop and hiss of cracking open a can of Bud Light. Cam Slater has written today that the Nats are helicoptering in Paula Bennet to stab him from the front while his MP’s pat him on the back - in order to feel where to stick their knives. Luxon’s pathetic political career is coming to an end, so how about a retrospective ? “Chris Luxon this is your life !” Everyone with half a brain knew what he was going to be like. Did those who voted for him watch his maiden speech? Here it is if you missed it May 24th 2021. It’s truly a speech that perhaps only Ardern herself would be so cynical to deliver with a straight face. Here’s the break down of the 4 minute speech. * Tay Rayo introduction * Diversity pitch * Immigration pitch * Diversity pitch * Climate change pitch * Globalism pitch * Air NZ career pitch * Globalism Pitch * Diversity pitch * Critical race theory pitch * Gender ideology pitch * Diversity pitch * Rainbow tick pitch * Getting things done pitch * Getting things done pitch * Diversity pitch * Getting diversity done pitch * voters will get what they deserve pitch So who remembers this speech? And yes it was THIS BAD, no joke. Maybe everyone who voted National was just so keen to dump Labour they fooled themselves that Luxon was the panacea? Also Trump rising from the ashes has put the spot light on a diminutive man with an even smaller appreciation of what the average sane kiwi wants. They can change him out, for a cosmetic attempt at pivoting but that party will never change - at the core of its fundamental philosophy is - woke nothingisim.

Offensive execution skills can help develop better barrel control, barrel awareness, barrel manipulation, and pitch-tracking ability. Several of these drills can also help shorten the swing, making them especially valuable when facing elite velocity or implementing an effective two-strike approach. Elite hitters don’t just train their swing, they train their ability to execute. Trent Mongero Taber Mongero

Comfortably, my favourite goal (not his best) scored by Eden Hazard. The way he navigates the football pitch with maximum awareness regardless of where he is… it’s his most underrated skill. He receives the ball perfectly EVERYWHERE on the pitch.

What is his problem with KBFC. If he don't wanna play here, don't. Who insisted him? But dont publically state things you are not aware of wrongly. If pitch is maintained by ISL, why the same ISL gives award to the clubs. What about other clubs. We can see the doubt yet blabbers!
