WHO'S BEEN COACHING FOR 10+ YEARS? 🙋🏻♂️
If that's you, would you consider leaving a word of encouragement👇🏻for those young coaches who might have doubts, insecurities or wonder if they will ever become a head coach one day?
All it takes is 5 minutes to change someone's life 👊🏻🙏🏻

We have traded fundamentals for measurables.
And it shows up in today's version of the game.
Too many players are lacking:
⚾️ Baseball IQ
⚾️ Awareness
⚾️ Ability to play catch
⚾️ Baserunning
⚾️ Ability to throw strikes
⚾️ Bat-to-ball skills
⚾️ Feel
⚾️ Adjustability

HITTERS: If your "A swing" doesn't play in a 2k count, then I suggest you find a "B swing" that allows you to put the ball in play, get guys over and get guys in with 2k.

HITTERS: I see too many hitters swing "max effort" in practice and then wonder why they're missing pitches during the game. For ex. if you swing 50-60% in practice, you'll naturally be 70-80% in game bc of pitch speed. Watch Manny 👇🏻

Ted Williams liked to play pepper for 20-minutes a day.
Today, however, there are signs on most fields saying “No Pepper” and a generation of kids that have no idea what the game of Pepper is and its benefits....
But they do know how to practice their “showcase swing”

"Why are there so many hitting coaches, but so few good hitters?"
Asked Joe Maddon if too many hitting philosophies are being taught now that are complicating things for hitters? "It's being morphed into an area that's non-sustainable. There's too many holes in the methods that are being profligated right now. It just doesn't work that way."

Found these notes in my office from my 3B coaching days:
🔹My job is to send you
🔹Send them on ball to arm side
🔹IF ball hits INF dirt on way to OF, send them
🔹Be aggressive w/ 2 outs
🔹W/ 2 outs notice OF playing in
🔹Play at home, go as far down the line as the cut off man

Being a baseball player isn't WHO you are. It's what you GET to do. Reflect on WHO you are as a person and be grateful for the chance to put on a uniform everyday. After your playing days are over, WHO you are as a person will make greater impacts over anything you did on a field

Hitting coaches are like caddies in golf. They are available to talk about the approach/swing, encourage during times of uncertainty, answer questions with calm and wisdom...
All of this so the player can sift through the clutter and find clarity in the moment.

HITTERS: If you're on time, the P will supply all the power. The number one thing to hitting is being on time. If you're on time (with barrel control) to hit a line drive to CF, you allow your swing to play from foul line to foul line. Let the ball work for you.

HITTERS: Hitting is messy - and so is life.
If you go into the season expecting it to be perfect, then you're in for a rude awakening. The bumps are there to remind you not to look too far ahead (bc it hasn't come yet) and not look too far behind (bc it's over with). Be present.

HITTERS: Yes, hard hit line drives are optimal. HR's are nice too. But I want to assure you that if you hit a GB, it's not the end of your career. Not every ball you hit is going to be a linedrive. The same coach who preaches no GB's has never given back a run scored bc of a GB
