Matthew Blomme (‘27, IA) had 2 hits on the day including this double to CF. Goes down and gets the low pitch showing good barrel control and a balanced repeatable swing. @PG_Uncommitted #PGIASpringLeague

Showed solid pop in my bp round at the HS, 2 homers in 8 swings off machine FB, one was 375+ ft, couple one hoppers and wall balls as well. No videos.

Couple swings in preparation for spring ball coming up @IATravelBsbl

[Gary Short @GaryShort111]

New Bat Speed Pr on Blast motion today. 70.0 MPH +4 Mph in just a couple months.

[Gary Short @GaryShort111]

Recently started using blast motion in my training, learning more about my swing profile and what to work on. Good plane and connection but work to do in rotation and power department. Still focused on back spinning the ball and adjustability.
