Well deserved. Really excited to see him exceed at the next level. High baseball IQ and an outstanding skill set. @OdessaCBaseball is getting a good one! @CoachLara11 @Coach_KLewis @NISDBrandeis

My goal with 2 strikes is to increase the probability that the ball is put in play.

A simple 2-strike approach that gives you a chance against multiple pitch speeds:

Take the pitcher’s fastest pitch and think about hitting it deeper on a line to the opposite-field gap.

You now have the ability to pull anything slower than the fastball.

Fastball → deep, opposite-field gap.
Off-speed → out front, pull it.

One simple approach covers multiple pitch speeds

With 2 strikes, the goal is simple:
Give yourself the best chance to put the ball in play.

SPEED KILLS
Rockies Jake McCarthy lays down a bunt in an untraditional situation. Ninth inning two run lead with one out 3-1 count. Usually a damage count. He sees the 3B back off & pretty much give him a free hit. He looks at it as a double because he is confident in his ability to steal 2B which he does. He then bounces around at 2B & distracts the pitcher enough that he balks. He goes to 3B & scores on a sac fly. Not the kind of disruptive one man band stuff you see in professional baseball very often.

“And there’s a big difference between a player led team and player owned. I think player led has two or three players that help lead. Player owned is everybody is all in on this making sure they put themselves in a position to protect what we all agreed on.”-Coach Bob Chesney

Red Sox reviving the “short game.” Forcing teams to play faster higher level catch than they are prepared for.

[Damian Rodriguez @DamianRod27]

Sorry for little lag but started with a 2 RBI Double in the championship.

[Rav @TonyRav]

This fucking guy literally singled with one of his balls leaking. Gutsiest player of all time.

Had a great experience at the new balance future stars series playing with some elite competition. Thank you to all the coaches and staff members involved in this amazing event!

Misiorowski: 2025 (left) vs. 2026 (right) mechanics

-He's been averaging nearly 2 mph harder on his fastball over his last handful of starts compared to last year.
-His K/BB has almost doubled: from 2.81 to 5.41 this year, reflecting much better command.

What you'll immediately notice is a significantly pre-set forward torso posture.

Why?

✅Shifts the loading strategy from quad/toe to glute/heel
✅Back heel stays connected longer
✅Deeper back knee/hip flexion
✅Able to stay in his load longer, building more linear momentum
✅Less motion happening at the trunk - this is a "set it and forget it" approach that was likely targeted at improving his command over velocity.
✅Pelvis rotating level into release, not dumping arm side

He also has noticeably larger legs, allowing him to produce more ground force, both on the back side and lead leg block standpoint.

I've said for a while that I don't think we'll see a pitcher hit over 107 in our lifetimes, but Miz is one of the few who has a chance to knock on that door.
