Be a good situational hitter

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

The Brewers are being celebrated like they invented baseball.
They are doing things that have become unusual.
They have an old school tough manager who players love playing for.
They focus on basic easy to understand basic fundamentals.
They have a hitting coach that was an overachieving player for skill that played in the big leagues.
They hit the ball the other way.
They value putting the ball in play.
They adjust their approach based on situation and count.
They are not addicted to exit velocity and launch angle bullshit.
They bunt and steal bases.
They do not have selfish superstars that need to be treated like celebrities.

The Brewers simply play the game how it was meant to be played.

I’ve had a passion for getting younger athletes involved in what we’re building at Mine for a long time…

But I wanted to make sure we had the right foundation in place before taking that step.

We’ve built that foundation. Now it’s time to bring in the next generation.

Couldn’t be more excited for this chapter.

If you’re a HS or College coach & your athletes train here…we’ve setup a portal for you to monitor all of their Programming, Session Reports & Metrics

Our goal is to bridge the gap from private training & keep everything transparent with school coaches

Tension ≠ velocity.

Just because you feel like you’re working harder, doesn’t mean you’ll throw harder.

Stay loose and let elasticity do its job.

[Lance Durham @CoachBullJr]

Hitting isn't for the weak. Physically or mentally. Work on your hitting to gain confidence and mental stability, and get in the weight room to improve your strength!!!!!

Hear what head coach @BischelJordan had to say yesterday on the air with @MoEgger!

⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Travis Clark @tclarkpitching]

Some of you are spending $3,000 on showcases when you should be spending $3,000 getting better at baseball…

If you’re throwing 76mph as a junior, going to 6 more showcases isn’t going to magically change a college coach’s evaluation

Don’t go to a showcase if there’s nothing to showcase…

Stop paying people to watch you struggle….invest in becoming someone they want to watch ‼️

Recruiting tip: keep it simple

A 2028 who is putting in a ton of work this offseason - heavy life to all pitches

The FB will be sitting 88-90 by spring @CarsonOates_2

[Travis Clark @tclarkpitching]

I see pitchers who look unbelievable with plyos, med balls, constraint drills, etc.

Then they get on the mound…

…and everything disappears.

That doesn’t mean the drill didn’t work….It means you haven’t finished the transfer.

A drill removes variables.

The mound adds them back.

Now the athlete has to manage:

• a leg lift
• forward momentum
• timing
• direction
• ground force
• rotation
• arm action
• intent
• AND throwing a baseball to a target

All at once.

So if you’re chasing a mechanical change, don’t jump from:

Drill → 100% mound

Build the bridge.

Drill
↓
Blend the drill into a throw
↓
Low-intent mound
↓
Higher-intent mound
↓
Bullpen
↓
Hitter
↓
Competition

The real test of a mechanical change isn’t whether it looks good during the drill.

It’s whether the athlete can keep it when velocity, intent, a hitter and competition are added back in.

That’s motor mapping…

Don’t become great at drills….Use drills to become better at pitching

[Blake T. Biscardi @BlakeBiscardi]

Nick Swisher talked about the massive culture shift under @JHaire03, the rising trajectory of Ohio State Baseball, and why it's time for this squad to chase Omaha. 

His message to @OhioStateBASE:“Y'all go for that. Leave your mark.”

[Travis Clark @tclarkpitching]

The vision is bigger than building an elite training facility.

I want to build an environment people want to be a part of.

High standards. High energy. A place known for producing college players and developing young men along the way.

The expectation is simple: when you walk through the doors, you work. You compete. You carry yourself differently. The people around you demand more from you.

You become a product of the environment you’re in. We’re more than just technology & coaches.

We’re building an environment where excellence becomes normal. I want to change the standard.

A pleasure visiting @OhioStateBASE today & watching @Logan_Cole07’s bullpen

A year ago he was dreaming about the opportunity of being apart of this program

Keep being great @Logan_Cole07
