Our 2027’s & Players like Micah are stepping it up at the right time! These guys are locked in and preparing for one epic spring and summer going into their senior year! Good work @MicahSolom8023

PR’d on deadlift today with 435x4 with plenty more in the tank to push more weight.

Constraints - individual, task, environment. They help shape and form the structure of a biological system searching for a functional state of organization.

What is interesting as I see these ideas pop up more and more in the baseball world is how they are being used to sort of "baptize" the way we were already coaching. That is, here is a problem I've identified (wrong mechanics) so use constraints to get more to the technical model, often pulling the athlete out of the performer-environment relationship (I've been hearing a lot the phrase "constraint based drills").

Within the literature, constraint manipulation is spoken of as taking options away that are non-functional (i.e. don't help me do the thing in the game) or relied on too frequently, thus narrowing the athletes solution space.

But this word is increasingly being used to get athletes to move in a more technically sound way, devoid of the actual problem they are embedded in.

There are undoubtedly more "technical" things I still see in my guys that may be contributing to their lack of performance on the field. But the main way I've used constraint manipulation has been in the live environment, to help expose athletes to different problems to solve.

I still have a rich history of coaching background that was technically focused. I'm still open to how a nudge here or there to explore different movement solutions may help an athlete. I have to acknowledge success stories of guys making changes and seeing positive benefits.

But I'd also caution others to not draw too many linear relationships when dealing with complex systems. I'd also ask us not ignore the trail of dead bodies who did all the drills that were "individualized" for them and still stunk at pitching in a game.

Start with the game and the problems you need to solve there. This is the main place the power of constraints can be leveraged.

Solid outing. 4 IP 5K’s T89

[Kyle Boddy @drivelinekyle]

"Driveline" has become a verb dadcoaches and uneducated fans sling around as a synonym for... well, who knows really. Whatever they don't like, I guess.

What does "Driveline" really stand for?

Simple: Writing things down, continually.

Filth! @Chase_Silseth

[Baseball Unstitched @BaseUnstitched]

The Miz & Jhoan Duran lead baseball in Whiff% on FF, but the guy sitting third on the list might surprise some:

Chase Silseth

Silseth used his 4S 41.2% of the time this season to a 38.3% Whiff rate. Opposing hitters posting a .229 BAA on that pitch

Marcelo Gabaldon (‘28, NM)
FB 86-90 | CB |

3 K in 1.2 IP in relief. Feel for CB w/ 12-6 shape and good vert depth. Feel to repeat and throw in zone. FB has life and jump out of hand. Deliberate mover.
