Don Mattingly explaining to practice being short & quick in practice with the focus of hitting line drives opposed to trying to lift & launch in batting practice. If you are hitting low line drives with back spin in practice consistently off of 60 MPH when you take that... show more

@shegone03 Teddy Ballgame sought Hitman and @ChickenMan3010 to talk hitting. Theyre right, those who disagree are wrong. Full stop. Stop swinging to launch.

Kevin Garcia1 year ago

I’ve been saying the same for years

JP Williams1 year ago

Whatever happened to good old fashioned mechanics that worked for solid contact now all we hear is launch angle. This is Why batting .300 is is eye popping now.

Exactly. Mattingly knows hitting, but all the analytics clowns won't listen because it ruins their life's work of preaching the uppercut

Backspin is 👑

Totes Mcgoats1 year ago

@TheDataCage doesn’t believe in backspin. He would probably tell Don, he doesn’t know.

Pat Bone 🇺🇸1 year ago

That’s fact✅…trust me…he knows what he’s talking about💪🏻

This is why 2025 baseball sucks

DB Tips1 year ago

This is just common sense. You have to drop your hands to launch angle a ball. You simply don’t have time to go down and back up again with your hands on pitches north of 85 mph.

Perfect practice makes perfect. Want cage work to Show up in game? More Deliberate practice. taking 1 swing 3 times. hitting the same spot in the back of the cage. Elite focus. Not just swinging just to swing.

Controlled aggression and purpose behind every swing. Don’t just push the ball around the field. But don’t swing max effort trying to hit pull-side home runs every round of BP either. MLB hitters are the strongest and most physical players in the game. They could launch balls out all day if they wanted to. Yet the great ones understand that batting practice is about building a swing that performs in games. Watch hitters like Miguel Cabrera. Sure, they hit some out, but they aren’t constantly hooking and top-spinning balls to the pull side. They’re hunting backspin and driving the baseball with authority. Controlled aggression and driving the ball to the opposite-field gap helps hitters stay on fastballs to all fields, avoid pulling off, and buy time to adjust to off-speed pitches and breaking balls. Many amateur hitters struggle with both because they train their swing to look good in BP, not perform in games. They become one-dimensional. Be a mature hitter. Train for game performance, not batting practice applause.

Did you know that the largest employer of physicians in the United States is United Health Group? Did you know that 75% of physicians are now employed by larger entities, as opposed to being in independent, private practice? I want you to know how important it is to protect the private practice of medicine. I’m fighting hard to protect the ability of physicians and patients to make independent, healthy decisions. To do that, we have to start in our communities by protecting the physicians and practices that are independent and holding the line in healthcare for all Americans.

For everyone wanting to make their “Real Swing” look like their “Practice Swing”… You just can’t, ok… you can exaggerate the crap out of it and barely move it Watch me here. The real looks absolutely nothing like the feel But I can tell you this… the “feel” when hitting this tee shot was exactly like my practice swing… Exaggerate it behind the ball, feel the same feel over the ball and accept result

Kyle Shanahan was asked when Garrett Wallow popped up on his radar and what was his first impression of him: “First day of practice when they told me we got a guy off Denver’s practice squad. I got to meet him in the special teams room before we went out to practice. Asked him how Huff, Dre, and DJ were doing. Then we out and watched him practice and right away you could tell… I felt pretty excited with what we got. You never know when you get a guy off someone else’s practice squad. But right away you hold tell he was an NFL player with a lot of upside.”

A lot of infielders are scared of the short hop. Great infielders create it! Here are some keys to playing the short hop: 1️⃣ Move your feet The closer your glove is to the ball, the less that can go wrong. Move your feet to catch the ball as close to the ground as possible 2️⃣ Play from the ground up Playing under the ball softens our hands and allows us to play through it 3️⃣ Practice away from the field To get really good at fielding (or anything) you need to put in hours and hours of practice. There is not enough team practice time to get in the reps you need to play at a high level. You must take what you learned at practice and work on it at your house. The garage, basement, driveway, or backyard. Reps build trust. 4️⃣ Someone is always working It’s a big world. If you aren’t consistently sharpening your game, someone else is.

Josh Hokit offers an interesting theory on what went wrong for Ilia Topuria: "Topuria makes the mistake of... he beats up his teammates, and so now the teammates fear him, where now he's not getting a certain look. That's the downfall of Topuria. If you're always hitting people in the liver, you're always dropping your teammates, the teammates are kind of shelled up. They're scared to hit you because, rightfully so, no one wants to be dropped in practice. You want a healthy balance in practice where the guy is still trying to test you, so you have to practice your defense. I think that's why his distance and timing were off, because of that."

How the best players really train! Pete Alonso Off Season Cage Work @ Diesel Fitness in Tampa. The best players have specific drills and routines they do when they step in the cage. They don’t just hop in and go right off of live batting practice or machine. They do drills that they know will groom there swing to have success in the game against the highest levels of pitching. I’ve never seen a professional player without some sort of a routine in baseball.

"I was in L.A. watching [Eddie Murray] take batting practice... the whole 1st round was the ugliest swings I've seen in my life... I walked up to him and said Eddie what were you trying to do in that 1st round? He goes, that was infield back man on 3rd less than 2 outs I got 2 strikes and I'm just trying to put it in play" Will Clark tells the story of watching Eddie Murray prepare in batting practice and how it changed his thought process.

This is what I be talking about. You can't just develop at practice, you gotta find them game reps. A lot of coaches are waiting to see a polished product in practice and if they don't they hit the portal for a player with more reps elsewhere.

Kolkata, West Bengal: On Former CM Mamata Banerjee Appearing in the High Court, Senior Advocate Billwadal Bhattacharyya says, "See, the system is, if you are a Chief Minister, you have to keep your license of practice suspended. You have to deposit your license before the Bar Council of West Bengal. And once you are no more a Chief Minister, you have to apply for a resumption of practice certificate from the Bar Council. I can take a name, I was having a word with Justice Biswajit Basu that day, he is still unable to practice before the Honourable Supreme Court because he has applied for the resumption of practice certificate..."

JJ definitely has AD’s buy in and trust as you can see them getting along very well. At the end of practice, JJ encourages AD to shoot 3’s during actual game time instead of only taking them during practice.
