Although it’s December and my team isn’t playing, I’m working to get better. Focusing on keeping my weight in my back hip. When you are tired after 2 hours of wrestling practice, it’s a great time to focus on late game hitting. Staying consistent from your first at bat until your last. Thank you @smashley_4 for helping me be the best I can be.
