I would love to hear everyone's opinion on some idea's I have. If I were to create MLB level educational courses based on my 15 years of MLB catching/hitting experience, and D1 college experience, what would interest you the most?. These are general topics. Just tweet @ me if.

I’ve gotten some hate mail for stating my opinion. God forbid a pro athlete stand up for what they believe. That’s part of the problem. Some people are too sensitive, emotional, and weak to hear the opinion of people that reached the athletic pinnacle of the craft, or any other.

I went fishing with Ueck on his boat during an off day early in my career. I was nervous and hadn’t known him long. I love to fish and Ueck invited me to go with him. Anyway, I caught a lake trout and brought it in close to the boat. He handed me his net so I could bring the.

Rickey Henderson just passed away. During my time with the @Athletics he had his locker right next to mine. He would come in almost everyday and play cards with the boys. Class act and great dude. I used to mess with him by saying that he was lucky I wasn’t catching when he was.

This is a joke. Rules made by people who never played. The owners should own, the management should manage, the coaches should coach, and the players should play. Leave the game alone.

Sorry sir that is proprietary and you will need to sign a NDA. You were a great hitter. Great hitters need to be pitched in, specifically up/in. Maybe even doubling up. After that, say 2-0, I’d throw you a backdoor CB, or, preferably, CHG, and if I threw you a heater it would.
Oooh…. what was the strategy to pitch to me over a series??? And did it change right/left or starter/reliever? Now we’re going deep!.

I asked Ueck one time about “Major League.” How he enjoyed filming it. Charlie Sheen, etc. He told me he ad libbed his lines and never watched it after. I said “wait, you have never seen the movie?” He said no he had never watched it. I thought he was messing with me, but it.

I got an idea. Let's just legalize steroids and peptides in the game. Take this baby back to the 90's with dudes just dropping bombs. That will bring the fans and money they want. Might as well.

I was once told by a team to kneel for the anthem. I told them no. Never ever would I do so. I told them I would retire before I ever did that. Kneeling wasn’t the answer to the problem, it’s pissed half the country off and created even more division. I would forever be ashamed.

Another great story about Ueck was at his statue ceremony in front of the stadium. I saw him before and told him congrats on a great honor. He looks at me, deadpan, and says:. “I’m just happy for the pigeons. They have a new poop target now and I couldn’t be happier.” . That’s.

Game calling is an under looked and under taught part of the catching position. TBH, I didn’t learn how to call a good game until several years into my big league career. There is a ton of instinct and experience that goes along with it. Jason Kendall told me whenever I was.

Great question. Biggest reason is that analytics has taken a massive role in the development of the game. Launch angle, exit velo, bunch of bs in my opinion. These are fancy words for hitting the ball hard out in front. Just people naming things to sound smart who never played.
@JLucroy20 Why do you think MLB hitting has gotten progressively worse in recent years? If MLBers are being taught by Ex-MLBers who have done it at the highest level and have the experience and wisdom you look for, why are averages dropping and strikeouts increasing?

oh man Utley, one of my favorites. So we played together on Team USA in 2013. Got to know him as a teammate. After that, when we played each other he would walk up to the plate and tell me to go F myself, straight dead pan. All in joking of course. If I framed a pitch he cuss.
@Pete_farlow @JLucroy20 I would love to hear Utley, especially early when the two overlapped.

Hitting is about making hard, consistent contact. Our swing development should be focused on swing adjustability based on hard contact. My dad used to say, “hit the ball hard, what happens after that is out of your control.”. Hitting the ball hard consists of a lengthy, flat bat.
@daverinehart45 @JLucroy20 The best approach is the one that is effective and you can do consistently. Some broad cues can help, but being oddly specific like this "guru" just forces players into bad habits.
