This is absolute 🔥. It fits exactly what Jay Gibbons, Jeff Frye, Chipper, ARod, Bonds all said in the vids Jay posted yesterday to Teacherman86. I hope that guy and his HLP followers see this too bc it’s 💯 legit, actually matters a lot for kids learning to hit too😊

Ted Williams preached that your swing angle needs to match the angle of the pitch. It’s maximizes the impact zone.

this what i tell all the kids i coach, hit the ball hard and good things happen

Hit the ball hard,good things will happen;you recognize your pitch,get after it.

Training to hit the ball lower in BP makes sense, because of higher arc of ball flight on BP pitches compared to games. However, using AVG as the basis for offense is bad, and Arraez himself averaged a 13.7 degree launch angle. Low-power guys should focus 0-20, not -10 to 10...

What’s sad is it wasn’t that long ago a good hitting was someone hitting .270 - .300+. Now it’s fine if a dude is hitting 220 as long as he has 20+ HRs…. 🤦🏻

Nerds in an office don’t understand how to segment data practically, Billy does. It just hit me how similar Arraez is to Don Mattingly. It would be fun to see a more in depth comparison.

Yep. Reminder a hit is ALWAYS more fun to watch than a walk

Peter Lynch: The average range for a stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the average high, average low, every year is 100% People know this, but they never buy it.....they never have the intention to buy. There are plenty companies with outstanding CEOs, strong buybacks, high free cash flow yields, and they keep innovating....

This right here is why I love what Justin Wolfers does. Aside from being a very smart guy, he has the great ability to make economics make sense as it applies to the every day life of the average American. For that we owe him a debt of thanks. 🎥 TikTok -

A Nigerian feminist saying she will kill her child if it is a boy, doesn't actually surprise me. Again, I don't know this person neither does the accent give her away - but I can bet my left testicle on the tribe she's from. Harmless observation.

ELON MUSK: “I’m very good at predicting the future. I’m not perfect, but I’m very good at predicting the future. My batting average is very high for a human. But this does have somewhat of a Cassandra effect, where people don’t believe that what I’m saying is likely to be true, because I can see into the future, not perfectly, but with a higher probability of success than most people, including things that people believe to be counterintuitive. Again, I’m not saying I’m always right. I certainly am not, but my batting average is very good. This does have a Cassandra effect, where people don’t realize that what I’m saying will come to pass. Maybe not exactly in the timing that I thought, but it will come to pass. History will write the verdict, but I think you will see that very little of what I’ve said is inaccurate. A supermajority of what I’ve said is very accurate and will come to pass unless there is some change in direction.”

Trump: He has a chance to do something great for New York and he does need the help from the federal government. And we will be helping him. But he's different than your average candidate. He came out of nowhere, I said he has a great campaign manager.

Been recently looking into fluid simulations again. This time I've testing if I can make a good SPH simulation but only having "average" cell particles. It seems to work surprisingly well, and it doesn't need sorting either. Explanation thread👇🧵

“It’s ok if you’re just average right now. I just want to know whether you want to become great. Because there are a lot of people who are ok accepting average. They think it’s safer and more comfortable. They think trying to be great comes with a lot of risk. They think it’s too hard and they might get exposed. People think it’s easier to be average than to go try to be great. There’s more friends, more acceptance, more comfort among the average. But I’ll tell you the real truth: Being average is only safe and comfortable for a small window of time. Because at the end of the regular season, when that final whistle blows, and you’re not playing for a championship? How comfortable is that?”

Batting average can lie. Just look at Luis Arraez. Yes, he can hit .300 and win batting titles. But his on-base percentage should be much higher than it is and there’s a reason why. He chases. Arraez refuses to walk. He swings at pitches out of the zone, even in key moments when his team desperately needs base runners. In this video I’m showing two back-to-back pitches where he swings at ball four. That cannot happen from a guy whose value is supposed to be getting on base. This is what I call a soft .300. The batting average looks great, but the impact is limited. He doesn’t drive the ball with authority. Low exit velocity. A lot of soft contact. And because he won’t take walks, he leaves OBP on the table. Imagine if he added discipline. If he simply took what pitchers give him, his OBP jumps and now you’re talking about a completely different level of player. Instead, you get a hitter who racks up singles in hot streaks but doesn’t maximize his value. High average. Low leverage. That’s the difference.

Texas Rangers MLB Hitting Coach, Tim Hyers, discusses the High Tee Drill and how it helps hitters create a direct swing path needed to consistently handle velocity, with high spin, at the top of the zone. Great hitters know there is big risk involved in creating unnecessary length and depth on the backside of the swing. This is especially true when facing pitchers who throw with superior velocity at top of the zone. Take a listen.

While we have fresher air to start the week the weather models show the air mass over much of Western Europe will go from below average to back above average pretty quickly. Heat is likely to start building back in by the weekend and into early next week. How hot it will get is unclear yet but we could see mid to high twenties in Ireland again. Spain and Portugal over 40c is possible in parts again this week.
