Two scenarios. Who has a TOUGHER task in on-field skill development?

Pitcher: Developing optimal body kinetics & kinematics for 3 quality pitches?

Hitter: Developing optimal body kinetics & kinematics to hit three quality pitches consistently?

Here's a well done article about Detroit prospect Luke Gold wherein I am mentioned:

It has prompted me to add some detail about Luke, Eric and Ana and my long relationship with them. Coming shortly.

@seideljeff @freepsports @freep @BCBirdBall @wmwhitecaps @lukegold3 Hey Jeff, thanks for talking a little about me in the above article about Luke Gold. It has prompted me to write about Luke, Eric, and Ana, in some greater detail in the next couple of days on my x account. I'll send it to you when I do.

This is a fact based/biologically based view of the stark differences between male/female athletic performance potential. Importantly, it highlights the the fact that testosterone suppression as regards these biological differences does NOT substantially effect those differences.

WATCH: The Male Advantage in Sports 📽️

Detailed analysis of the scientific data on why testosterone suppression does not eliminate the male performance advantage in sports.

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

Again, this conclusion/resolution is based on biological reality, merit driven values, and longstanding notions of equality as regards both broad cultural norms, and within which the norms of athletic competition reside.

As some may have noticed, I have not posted much here in the last mo. or so. Instead I have spent at least 20 or so hrs. on the phone talking in detail about hitting stuff to those interested in "my stuff." This kind of interaction has MUCH greater value compared to twitter!

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

In stark contrast to my last post , this clip reveals the human quality of sympathy/empathy towards those who need our love and support. I'm always uplifted by these examples!

A very stark/poignant juxstaposition of the potential evil of adults vs. the innocence of children.

Well of course as someone who is pretty rational and relatively sane, I fully condone these comments. But even more important at about .34 he displays pretty decent posture/connection/rotation!!

@ATrain0505 @ItDiscovers @setprosports Thanks Al!

@ATrain0505 @ItDiscovers @setprosports Hey thanks for the info.

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

@patricktehan Hey Pat thanks for the clip [had not seen it]. Indeed it is a very good physical representation of my "tilted tornado" analogy!!
Also a good ex. of something I started saying yrs. ago as a simple def. of good hitters: They know how to tilt over, hold onto the bat and JUST turn!

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

Off topic----from Steve's "I can't resist" file. Ex. no. 79,456 of utter idiocy from the so-called "elites" in govt. Imagine proudly telling your kids you get paid for issuing public edicts like this !!!

IRS wants thieves to report stolen income. AYFKM! Just when I thought I've heard the dumbest thing possible, they prove me wrong!🙄🙄🙄

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

@ItDiscovers @jeremy2529 Well yes good question. In the context of MY definition of connection being that of optimizing the "pulling effects" of the hips /shoulders on the displacement of the hands/knob/bat it is non-sensical!

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

Not clear as to what jeremy is trying to explain; but what I will say is this: His hip action is yet again an ex. of what I refer to as "sitting" ,i.e., hip flexion...lead hip moves AWAY from the plate [sagittal plane] AND starts to rotate [transverse plane]. High level action!

[Englishbey Performance @SteveEnglishbey]

@ItDiscovers This is another VERY relevant point as regards what I consider to be optimal arm alignment by foot plant. [There are numerous reasons---both biomechnical/physiological AND empirical----as to why I say this].
