A helpful external cue for hitters who are underrotated at contact is to tell them to show their belt buckle (even if imaginary) to a pull-side target.
@TopherJones6 with the quick mid-round adjustment.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

2030 3B Andrew Jones (MS) gets an even barrel on plane with this up and in pitch. Flattens it out and lines it for a 1B past the 3rd baseman.

@GrahamD14@GowagsKyle Really good post Graham. The parents are bad narrative is lame and wrong @nextlevelbb. Come on. You coach, take the checks parents pay and be quiet. Parents know where their kid is.
After leading @PRCC_Baseball to 46 wins, 17 ranked wins, a third consecutive MACCC title and back-to-back World Series berths, Michael Avalon has been named the conference's Coach of the Year!👏
That's three straight COTY awards for Coach Avie!😤

@EddyFurniss Great analysis from the start Eddie! The ump was far better than ABS and Missouri catcher has exposed the flaw to hopefully end it in its current form.
Alright here are my unfiltered thoughts on ABS from the first game.
It could be really fun and bring an interesting dynamic to the game.
I was correct in saying the NCAA strike zone initiative zone is too big. Every overturned ball to a strike today would not be a strike on MLB ABS from what I could tell. The umpire was 100% on his calls so he made the ABS look bad. Kudos to him. Here’s an example video of Will.
There was another example with Austin Fawley. Clearly a ball and overturned to a strike out with 2 runners in scoring position. Possibly changed the game.
What’s frustrating is the published dimensions from the NCAA are easily recognizable as too generous before the game was played.
A possible solution if you want to keep it big: use the buffer zone. If the call on the field is a ball and it’s in the buffer zone, it stays a ball and vice versa. I don’t like that but none of the calls in the first game would have been overturned.
But my solution is to just use the MLB zone. That’s what these players are used to in the SEC obviously.
