A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

"I fly internationally. Nowhere else in the world are you asked to switch off your phone on a flight. Nigeria is so backwards." 1. I made this video myself on an international flight today. This flight was not heading from or to Nigeria. The instruction was clear: SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE. In fact, it insists that before switching off your device, you must place it on flight mode and turn off connectivity. For ALL devices. The funny thing was that I met some Nigerians on this flight. Neither they nor the other international passengers complained about this instruction. EVERYBODY COMPLIED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS, and nobody thought that it was backwards. 2. The boarding process experienced a hitch, and ALL passengers, regardless of the class of ticket, were forced to take a long trek and use an emergency staircase to access the avio bridge. While it was not ideal, nobody resorted to violence. The Asian in front of me muttered under his breath to his young son, "I will file a complaint when we arrive. Such inconvenience." I keenly observed every detail of this flight, not because anything was new to me, but because I had to ensure to document this for the sake of those who come here to spread misinformation. 3. Before I forget, my initial flight out of Nigeria a few days ago, the pilot said these words, "Switch off all mobile devices and your phones are not to be used for the duration of this flight." It was an almost 6-hour flight filled with Nigerians. I did not hear a word of protest. We flew 6 hours without using our phones. An international airline, one of those said to be more advanced while we label ourselves "backwards." Sure, the goal is to be among the world's best, not the worst. The message, however , to be patient with our own and comply with instructions when given, so long as they are in line with the regulations. Never allow people to gaslight you. We must get better, and we will.

Since 2020, the athletes I’ve trained have earned 32 college scholarships, including some of the biggest programs in the country. One player I helped completely rework her movement went on to become the 2022 ACC Player of the Year. What makes it special is that I’m not connected to any organization, and I don’t have hundreds of athletes cycling through. My training happens in a Little League cage, no tech, no Rapsodo, no bat speed sensors. Everything I teach comes down to one thing: learning how to move from the center out. Five years ago, I realized we were training like everyone else chasing one swing method, one path and all my hitters started to look the same. I knew something was missing. That’s when I dove into movement science, retrained my own body, and discovered that real development doesn’t come from mechanics or cookie-cutter paths. I’ve never been one to settle. Today, I have a few trusted mentors across the country whom I speak with daily about movement and hitting, and I’ve spent significant time learning from them. Most parents and coaches think the next “best drill” will fix a player’s swing. What they don’t understand is that a tool starting in the hands cannot fix the swing. Real development starts from the middle out controlling center mass first. Start at the hands or barrel, and you fight the body’s natural movement. The swing doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency and true swing change come from years of learning how to move properly. When athletes get strong, develop great habits, and understand how to control their center, development skyrockets. Stay patient. Stay consistent. Prioritize movement over results. The swing is built on movement, not mechanics. Control your center, and the rest of the body follows. Adjustability, power, and consistency all start here. At the end of the day, I don’t care what a swing looks like I care how the body moves. Every athlete who trains here learns to control their center, adapt to every pitch, and build a swing that works naturally. Control your center. Control your swing. Be the best version of yourself.

Development is a calculated plan! And I LOVE the off season training. Here is 2023 2nd RD Pick Blake Wolters. To start~ Knowing where they are, what their timeline is (MILB’ers/HS/College) and what their goals are, is huge and necessary to begin. Without Divulging into everything we did, here is a bit about it as you physically see the change. What Blake needed 2.5 years ago was a plan, and a direction to attack his plan, and he did a tremendous job. What he needed was a strong front side, General Strength and a throwing Program, all of which was brand new to him. What to notice, you have a young pitcher who fills up the zone with mechanics that absolutely kill body awareness and Repeatable movements. That’s how you can tell the Immediate changes will cause immediate results velocity wise, and mentally is easier to focus on the process when the results improve. General strength was a breeze to Program. ANY Good throwing program Requires a well planned, thought out, and executed Strength program to work side by side. Every lift was based around Throwing/ Pitching all year. The volume and intensity of lifts and throwing consistently changes in order to promote the most growth possible, these are calculated changes. The Throwing Program is something the players have to perform, but not only perform but believe in. If you don’t believe in something you will not grow. (Using Pulse is a tremendous way to teach and create a feel for the body). Volume and intensity is the only thing that I like to really control. For players, learning a routine is key, especially applicable Plyo ball/ Med ball Routines are huge. Throwing programs are essentially the tip of a triangle, and are not working to its best ability if working alone. Throwing programs are 12 months long, they are not strictly for the off season. Now, as a Professional his training has varied tremendously as the development of the change up and shape of the fastball have taken a considerable amount of priority. This is where trackman and edger take serious precedence, to master the already elite craft. Working on creating an Outlier Pitch/Arsenal 2.5 years ago would have been a waste of time, because it was 81-84. Now, it will help increase the ability to perform through the Org. Every timeline is different, every situation is different, every Player’s routine is different, and every player is coached differently. Blake worked harder than anyone I’ve seen, and TRUE and CALCULATED hard work will show results “How can we attack the ZONE with our best stuff” “ Did I check every box today” Below, you will see corrective’s using the above methods.

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

The Most Dangerous Phrase in Midlife Fitness: “I Used To…” “I used to run faster.” “I used to lift heavier.” “I used to train every day.” I hear this constantly. In the office. In the gym. From people who still care deeply about being capable… yet are often injured. I always ask patients what sports they play. Not uncommonly, they’ll answer football or basketball. I’ll ask when they last did it… the answer is universally— in college or high school. Then a spark woke them up, and they tried to get back to the things they did 20-30 years ago. While that’s not impossible, it requires a far different approach. The problem isn’t remembering the past. It’s training as if the past is the standard you still have to meet. When training is anchored to past ability, the focus shifts away from adaptation and toward proving something. Over time, that almost always leads to frustration, injury, disengagement, and a visit to my office. Midlife isn’t about reclaiming an earlier version of yourself. That version lived in a different body, with different recovery capacity, different stress, and different biology. What you have now is a different body. Not a broken one. Not an inferior one. Just different. But one that is still able to adapt and achieve. The people who age well in sport and in life understand this sooner rather than later. They stop chasing intenisty volume for its own sake. They become more selective about intensity and focus on consistency. They leave room for recovery. They care less about what a workout looks like and more about what it allows them to do tomorrow. They aren’t lowering standards. They’re changing the rules… they’re adapting. For the longest time, I didn’t do this. I was working out in my late 50s as I did in my 20s… and I was often hurt or aching enough that the next day was a bust. The question stops being, “Can I still do what I used to do?” It becomes, “What do I need to do now to stay strong, capable, and independent ten years from today?” That shift isn’t quitting. It’s about choosing healthspan… and adapting to what the passage of time demands. —Howard

Ferris State HC Tony Annese - Mesh (QB/Ball Carrier) & Motion Fundamentals QB Mesh Fundamentals - Regardless of play, the first thing the QB needs to do to make sure he has a good mesh is stab the ball back off his hip towards the ball carrier as far as he can. - His arms should be straightened with his eyes at the HOK. - The ball should move with the back through his track. - If the ball is pulled the decision must be made by the time the ball gets to the QB's front hip. Ball Carrier Mesh Fundamentals - The potential ball carrier is the one that is responsible for his track. He needs to make sure his is at the mesh point that the QB is creating. - He must maintain a pocket that is firm enough to secure the ball but loose enough that the QB can pull the ball if the read is a pull read. - Do not deviate from the track until you fully clear the mesh. - If you do not get the ball then track away from the HOK and make him chase you. Motion Fundamentals - All of our motions start up at FULL SPEED! It is incredibly important to make every motion at full speed so the QB has a consistent timing. - The QB is responsible for sending the motion back on every play except for the triple option. - This allows us to control each motion easier. - Every Jet motion should be timed as if the jet back was getting the ball regardless of play. - The motion back will change his depth based on play. - This allows us to use motion with a multitude of schemes. - The motion stops at different spots on different plays and each perimeter player must understand where he should stop for each play.
