University of Chicago Assistant Baseball Coach

[Matt Antonelli @MattAAntonelli]

Hitting isn’t a beauty contest. Social media and highlights show perfect swings, but success isn’t always pretty. Sometimes you just need to find a way to get the barrel to the ball. Battle. Compete. Fight off pitches. Muscle the ball through a hole. Do whatever it takes to get the job done. It doesn’t always matter what it looks like, it only matters that it works.

Congratulations to our ethics and coaching award winner John Harason from Elmhurst University

Coaches:
We all want to teach & help “fix” our players. But most teaching fails when too much time is spent trying to fix the player versus teaching them how to fix themselves. When it’s game time and the spotlight is on you, there ain’t no one there to help you but yourself!!!

Chicago Select 8, Bombers 7 FINAL
@ChiSelectBsbl wins a thriller in Crestwood Collegiate League championship, walking it off on a Troy Vosburgh 3-run inside the park HR. What a crazy finish and a great capper to a fun summer in the CCL.

You can have the prettiest swing in the world, but it won’t help you:

Recognize pitches
Control your emotions
React to nasty movements
Create a quality plan
Improve your mental approach
Figure out pitcher tendencies
See pitcher’s release point
Adjust when you’re fooled
Keep a positive mindset

…You know…. The really important aspects of hitting that actually help you in a game!

** Swing mechanics ARE important… but they AREN’T everything! They are just a small piece to a big puzzle!

[Kevin Tyrrell @coachKT14]

What a ride! We emptied the tank and came up a little short! I don’t have the words to describe how proud I am of this team!

[Landon Bundy @LandonBundySID]

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

Hitters, repeat after me:

I AM THE BEST HITTER ON THE PLANET

I CAN COMPETE AGAINST ANYONE

I FEAR NO ONE

👉🏼 If CONFIDENCE doesn’t dominate your mental database, this game will eat you up!

** DISCLAIMER***
obviously these should be your thoughts… but stay humble, cuz this game can humble you real quick! #HumbleConfidence

Hot Take: the swing doesn’t make a great hitter. Ive seen flawless mechanics not succeed, and I’ve seen horrible sequences excel. Hitting is a SKILL that requires adaptation. The pursuit of the perfect swing is a trap and will destroy your ability to adapt.

Huge congrats to our guy Coach Conner for picking up his 100th career win as a head coach.

Winning is great. Winning at The Thunderdome is greater. Winning a milestone victory at The Thunderdome to close out the regular season is the greatest.
