@GowagsKyle ... and while you're not losing him, don't think about a purple monkey riding a unicorn on a rainbow.
You wouldn't have, but I put it in your head. Drives me mad.
The least-utilized awesome cue in BB/SB is, "Find out."
Can you leg out the double/triple.
Steal the base?
Go 1st to 3rd?
1st or 2nd to home?
Can they stop you?
Find out, before you limit yourself. Make them prove they can do their jobs, first.
@devenmorgan@drivelinekyle Funny to me is that I always assumed this as inevitable. Kyle is a DOG & will take over the baseball world if left unsupervised. Funniest, to me, is that he could have chosen to take Cressey & an org and challenge the rest to chase. Haha!
This is truth.
Try hitting a Randy Johnson slider that's going to land on your back foot out of the yard.
No. You PUNISH mistakes & predictable counts.

When you build a program, not just cherry-pick talent off the lower levels to help varsity, it looks a little something like this.

I've been all three
Coach works to build programs & people, win games, & chase trophies.
Instructor works to augment players' development to help the PLAYER succeed, win & smile more.
Player trusts both with their career. Whatever your role. Be worthy.
The #1 move I talk to hitters the most about (and 1 good way to train it👇🏼)
They start on time but never actually get loaded to GO.
They think they’re ready. They’re not.
So they start earlier next time. Same problem.
——
This is a conversation I have with almost every hitter.
When is the right time for you?
- Based on your load style
- Based on how long your load takes
- Based on the pitcher’s velo, windup, or slide step
——
If that’s you, try a “loaded at release” type load. Bobby Witt. Judge.
Get your hip and elbow loaded early.
Then stride with it ready to fire.
“The pitcher is up there for 20 seconds telling you to get ready. Shame on you if you’re not ready to swing.”
____
If I have you in the cage, what I’ll do is have you get into a no stride position, get ready to swing and I stand there for 1-4 seconds… Holding my hand out over the plate ready to snap my fingers.
When I snap, you swing.
Do that 4-5x.
You get the quickness, readiness feeling.
Then we go back to stride with moving ball and you’re trying to time up that same GO move with the ball
With your foot up in the air and the GO will make the foot go down. Not foot down then swing. That typically kills quickness.
This works 95% of the time I’d say!
——
> Send this to a hitter who need better load timing
> And make sure you’re following, I help hitters hit better in game
@FiskPT I honestly never fact checked this but had a friend ask me decades ago, “what leads to more big innings, a leadoff homer or a leadoff walk?” Naturally people guess the BB. It’s HR by a landslide.
@Ty4191@SouthJerzGiants I read the study, and go figure, scoring more runs than your opponent wins games. You'll lose the 90 followers you have, if you keep arguing for nonsense.
