What actual HITTING looks like: training swing decisions within practice. The game is random; we don't know what pitch is coming or where it's going to be. However, very rarely do you see any training to mirror this. We want a pitch right down the middle every time.

Nothing like the actual game. I love doing this because the hitters can't cheat to a spot. Ball is moving all over, forcing them to lock in every rep. If you want to make good swing decisions, you have to train it.

This kid is all over the place.

Kids way off balance. Work on staying balanced after the swing

But no pitch comes from that angle.

My kid is a goof hitter, I give partial credit to his success to my terrible BP pitching, it’s definitely improved over the years and I can get in a groove, but he’s always been forced to be selective, also find ways to hit balls randomly all around the zone,

It’s called live batting practice 😂

Why does the ball seem to come from where the second basemen stands?

qqiɿT oɈnɒƧ1 year ago

problem is, it’s still not replicating a release. Live pitching when not in the game still gonna be 100x better than any machine….but it is a good drill that’s my only reason for not liking off a machine, but you do what you can with what you have so no hate keep grinding

theparishioner1 year ago

Can you worry about how unbalanced he is and how disengaged his lower half is before you worry about pitch selection

Niko1 year ago

Try to set up to where the ball is coming from a realistic angle. That ball is released 2’ off the ground and another 2-3’ off center of where a mound would be.

It’s a lot easier to practice full speed and slow it down in a game if you need to. What we can’t do is practice half speed and except to go game speed come game time. Practice how you want to play.

MLB's Lowest Attack Angle: 1° No qualified MLB hitters swing down currently Hitter's will have swings where they swing down, depending on timing, pitch location and other factors but no MLB hitters swing down on average Is there a time & place to feel like you swing down? Yes, but majority of hitters shouldn't be training their swing to be a negative attack angle

I Asked JD Vance What the Off-Ramp in Iran Looks Like and What His Message to Troops Is: “The President said we accomplished the gross majority of our military objectives…" “We need to ensure that once we leave we won't have to do this for a very very long time.” “This is going to be a short term conflict.” “We’re not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, two years down the road.” “We’re taking care of business. We’re going to be out of there soon.”

Asked Skylar Diggins about Seattle’s mentality/inability to close out games ahead of the playoffs: “I promise you, I swear I'm not even being facetious. If we had these answers to these questions, you know what I'm saying? This game is tough. It's hard to win in this league. It's hard to win in this league. And obviously, yes, we're disappointed with where we are, that we're in this predicament. But Nneka has said it in the past too. It's not going to be a woe is me. Games are still going to be played. You know, we still have to come out and compete. And most importantly, you know, we have to be professional. And you know, I lacked professionalism in that last press conference too. I want to apologize to the room. Apologize to Nneka. She always comes out here, handles herself exceptionally, and I handle myself poor. And you know, I got to be a better leader when it's hard and it's hard to be a leader. But I owe you that apology in front of everybody in the room. So I just wanted to say that before we left. But yeah, obviously it's tough. We're pissed. Yeah, that's what you guys want to hear? You want to see it. This is what it is when you're passionate. We do everything passionately, and that's what it is. We don't want to fucking be in this predicament. But here we are. So we're going to continue to show up and be pros every day, be leaders by example, how we come in and prepare and come out and get ready to compete, and that's all we can do. And if we don't do that, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.” @OffTheRecordW | #WNBA

Bill Ackman reveals the exact difference between valuing a stock and valuing a bond that most people never learn "A bond pays a 5% coupon interest rate. You get that every year, and it's very predictable. If it's a US Government Bond, you know you're going to get it. That's a pretty easy thing to value" "A stock is an interest in a business. It's like owning a piece of a company. A profitable business is like a bond in that it generates these coupons or these earnings or cash flow every year" "The difference is that a bond is a contract. You know what you're going to get. With a stock, you have to make predictions about the business" "How many widgets are they going to sell this year? How many next year? What are their costs going to be? How much money do they need to reinvest to keep the business going?" "What we do is try to find businesses where with a very high degree of confidence we know what those cash flows are going to be for a very long time. There are very few businesses you can have a really high degree of certainty about. Many investments are speculations because it's really very difficult to predict the future"

"One of the very confusing things about the models right now: how to reconcile the fact that they are doing so well on evals. And you look at the evals and you go, 'Those are pretty hard evals.' But the economic impact seems to be dramatically behind. There is [a possible] explanation. Back when people were doing pre-training, the question of what data to train on was answered, because that answer was everything. So you don't have to think if it's going to be this data or that data. When people do RL training, they say, 'Okay, we want to have this kind of RL training for this thing and that kind of RL training for that thing.' You say, 'Hey, I would love our model to do really well when we release it. I want the evals to look great. What would be RL training that could help on this task?' If you combine this with generalization of the models actually being inadequate, that has the potential to explain a lot of what we are seeing, this disconnect between eval performance and actual real-world performance"

Hitting is hard!!!! One of the best things you can do as a hitter who is having a bad day, or training session. It’s to reset!! Don’t try to push or grind through it the pressure and frustration will only make it worst. Elite athletes can do this very well, and if you want to take your game to the next level you will too. #baseball #hitting #training #itshard

The 10-15 seconds in between pitches are the most important time of a baseball game. All ballplayers should be looking to win this time. The best way to do that is having a set pre-pitch routine that they execute every pitch. A pre-pitch routine is simply what players do on a consistent basis in-between pitches. Most importantly, it’s how they breathe, focus, visualize, and talk to themselves. This is what helps them take control, keep it simple, and compete with all they’ve got ONE pitch at a time.
