@KenSpang Know what you want out of softball. The commitment has to match the ambition. Pitchers & catchers always have a team that needs them. If she can’t do either she better be fast or hit exceptionally well. If she’s fast, teach her how to slap. Slappers are in high demand.

🚨 UCLA Infield/Outfield Reps

• Early glove presentation
• Constant communication
• Feet follow the throw

⭐️ Great teams have great fundamentals!

[Jake Scott @jscotthitting]

Where should the hands be at launch?

A common thing I see with hitters is getting too high or too far back away from the body.

Swinging from the neck feel can help you find a better spot to launch the swing from if you struggle with this 💡

Love our catchers!

[Il Lightning Softball @softball_il]

Yes! #5 is so impressive on this prestigious list! Way to go!

[Jeff Randall @JeffWRandall]

@KenSpang @AWRE_Sports We need legislation preventing parents from reclassifying their kids! Horrible priorities. Every kid has a ceiling. MLB scouts can’t draft HS seniors with certainty. Parents shouldn’t be allowed to reclassify their kids based on how good they might seem as 7th graders.

[Jordan Stouffer @Hittingforpower]

Try these side toss variations:

1. Reactive quick flips

2. Pause at launch

3. Front hip (pullside)

[Baseball IQ @BaseballIQ_App]

🚨 Catch/Drop Baserunning Drill

• Runners take an aggressive turn at 1st
• Run to 2nd if the ball is dropped
• Return to 1st if the the ball is caught

⭐️ Great drill for training an aggressive mindset. “Make the defense stop you.”

[Austin Wasserman @Wass_Strength]

Grateful for the opportunity to work with @FSU_Softball and share High Level Throwing® with one of the most respected programs in the game. 🥎

Even when you’re a D1 school, athlete or coach, having a proper throwing program at your disposal makes all the difference in the world for your team!

Moments like this continue to push the mission forward — helping athletes move better, throw harder, and perform with confidence.💪🏻

The mission stays the same: teach efficient throwing patterns at every level!⚡️
