Los Leones se apuntaron su segunda victoria de la temporada.

What does a 2-1 pitch tell you about the pitcher? A lot more if you think about it.

Very pivotal pitch. A strike results in a 2-2 count whereas a ball results in a 3-1 count. The pitcher doesn’t want to treat it like a 3-1 hitter's count, but definitely doesn't want to get to 3-1.

I viewed it as an indicator of what the pitcher is confident in throwing for a strike. So perhaps his best secondary pitch. If he throws a fastball, maybe he doesn't have confidence in his secondary, or he doesn't fear you (the hitter) very much.

Obviously, this isn't a hard rule (as it goes with most baseball viewpoints), but it's something to consider when you're watching the pitcher on deck or in the dugout. 2-1, more so than any other pitch, can tell you quite a bit about how the pitcher is feeling TODAY.

Amateur hitters, stop looking for comfort in the cage. The game isn't comfortable. Umpiring is no good, the kid on the mound probably throwing under average speed or above it, weather may not be good, body probably won't feel 100%. Learn to compete when it's uncomfortable.

Is it too late to get recruited for college baseball? Not for a senior still looking. Signing week belongs to those who committed early. In 39 years of coaching families, I have seen plenty find a home after November. Email coaches, send fresh film. CoachBeede dot com

We have a lot of people today in player development doing food reviews - just describing what they see on video...

And not enough people in the game anymore who actually understand how the meal is made.

The home stretch of the inaugural ProBall Hoosier Post Season Awards brings us to the penultimate category:

Hoosier Offensive Player of the Year, Not Named Kyle Schwarber:

It shouldn’t come as a surprise this goes to Devin Taylor who shot through the A’s system this season.

[Travis Clark @tclarkpitching]

BASEBALL PARENTS: One baseball lesson doesn’t mean improvement will be immediately visible.

Sometimes a kid leaves a lesson throwing SLOWER because we’re changing how he moves.

Sometimes his command gets worse temporarily because we’re changing a mental cue

Sometimes we spend an entire session working on something that has nothing to do with throwing a baseball…

That’s doesn’t mean it’s a bad lesson!

Real development isn’t about making a kid look better for 60 minutes.

It’s about making him a better baseball player 6 months from now.

I’m beyond blessed and excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and baseball career at Muskingum University!
First, I want to thank my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has helped me along the way. I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of your support and guidance.
I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to get to work!
GO MUSKIES!

Barry Bonds was asked if he knew what pitch was coming when he broke the home run record.

He said yes.

How? The pitcher's body language.

He'd seen the pattern so many times it was in his memory bank.

The best hitters are the best predictors.

Start paying attention from the dugout.

[Kevin Wilson @KWBaseball]

HITTERS: Know where you stand on the plate.

Your "middle" may not be the plate's middle.

Being aware of where you stand is the beginning of knowing YOUR strike zone.

Breaking News : 5 in 5 has officially passed and will be implemented at NAIA division! This will definitely begin a push for NCAA D3 !

[Kevin Wilson @KWBaseball]

COACHES: In recent years, more and more MLB, MiLB and college hitters have asked me for this one specific thing to get them locked back in...

Arm BP.

Some organizations do so much machine work that hitters lose their timing and rhythm against a live arm.

Sometimes, the answer isn’t more machine.

It’s simply seeing the ball from a live arm again.

A simple BP session has helped so many hitters get their timing back, regain their confidence and get locked back in.
