I’ve been watching the college baseball regionals since 2000, and I can’t remember a day with this many upsets

Two of the biggest upsets (maybe the 2 biggest RPI upsets) in history

Milwaukee 238 RPI over Auburn 3 RPI
St Mary’s 14 RPI over UCLA 1 RPI

Best day of the year

Today’s Batting Average on balls hit on the ground or on a line: .500

Today’s batting average on fly balls: .162 (one of those left the park).

You want success as a hitter. Learn to stay on top of the ball.

If you do that, and you get stronger and stronger the power will come, I promise you.

@JGelnar7 Love it! I’ve been able to upload spray charts and make a full scouting report for defensive positioning for our guys through ChatGPT. Makes my job a lot easier to let it analyze that data vs myself haha

First thing is that pitcher is 1.7 to plate. Hard to throw people out with that slow of a time.

For those that don’t know, 1.5 is absolutely slowest time to have a chance, UNLESS you are a 1.8 on the money thrower behind the plate. Not many of those.

Foot work looks solid, especially being in the one knee stance. But, he’s losing his front side a little bit. Left arm/elbow needs to be a hair more up and square toward target.

Catcher is taking the blame for stolen bases but he can’t throw it until he gets it.

I work with a lot of infielders that do not understand the speed of the game and the internal clock you must have.

1st ball SS slows his feet which slows the arm down and almost throws ball away. 2nd ball doesn’t make the same mistake. They practice at a certain speed, which translates to the game. Every line time in this video is under 4.4.

Put your infielders on the stop watch at practice. Challenge them to be under or at a certain time. Start at 4.5 and work down. Call out every time so they know if they are rushed or have time. The internal clock is one of the most important parts an infielder can have!!

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

The hitter’s swings, foul balls, and takes give you a good idea of his approach. What do I mean?

Fastballs:

Is he late on the FB? Where are his foul balls? Pulled foul? Or over the opposite dugout? Or, is he taking them?

So, if late, this means that we pitch FB in, up, and expand down. If he’s taking them, he might be sitting strike offspeed.

Also, if he’s late on FB, be careful throwing a get me over strike offspeed pitch. You will be doing him a favor.

A good question to ask is, where can we go where his barrel can’t square the ball up?

Offspeed: is he pulling them foul? Are his takes good or bad? Does his swing look comfortable on the offspeed? Where does he chase?

A good tidbit to follow is that we should chase bad swings.

The best hitters in the world can make the adjustment pitch to pitch.

Most players, especially at the HS and below level, can’t do that. So if he takes a bad swing on a pitch, throw it again. If he takes it, throw a different pitch, then go back to bad swing pitch.

Another tidbit is that if the hitter fouls a ball straight back to the backstop, be very careful repeating that, because he just missed it.

Many more nuances to this but this is basic food for thought.
