🚨 How to Make a Recruiting Video
• Swings from behind
• Swings from the side
• Game swings w/ running
• Fielding w/ throws (pre-game)
• Keep it short!
⭐️ Tons of great advice here. Coaches prioritize the quality of the movements. “What kind of athlete is he?”
Where should you be throwing your pitches?
A big part of command is approach and understanding the aerodynamics of the pitch you’re trying to throw. Instead of working against physics throw the pitch where it wants to go.

I spy someone being productive! This clip, the announcers were talking about Joe Maddon, but look what Ohtani is doing prior to the game. Get your timing of the pitcher during their warmups so you're more prepared when you step in the box.
@2paulhodge@totalfilm Yes I hate stupid ass woke shit, but you're so far off the mark. They did this movie damn near perfect. Best they could with the budget they had. Blew my expectations out of the water.
@jondelarroz It couldn't have been done any better. They captured the essence of the original pretty darn good. Need more to go see it so we can get a sequel and spin off. And my kid went nuts over the Castle Greyskull popcorn bucket ❤️. Never saw him so happy to watch a movie before.
Anytime the top of the bat almost points at the pitcher during stride, thats a long way to go to catch up with velocity. Abbreviate the load a bit. Get him to think thru the centerfield wall, not over it. That will allow front elbow to go more directly to the ball. He has a bit of an arm bar (straightening) of that elbow, which also is slowing him down. Hope it helps…
Most pitchers panic when they're getting hit. I run a four-step diagnostic instead.
Step 1: Am I giving up hits in hitter counts or pitcher counts?
If they're hitting me in hitter counts, I'm losing the at-bat before they even swing. The fix is simple — work ahead. Get into pitcher counts. If they're squaring me up in pitcher counts, that's not a count problem. Move on.
Step 2: Am I actually executing?
Am I hitting my spots? If I'm missing my locations, nothing else matters. Fix the command on my fastball first. If I'm hitting my spots and still getting lit up, move to step three.
Step 3: Is my sequence backwards?
The rule is most hittable early, least hittable late — for both location and pitch shape. Early in the count I can afford to throw something more hittable and take my chances. But in 0-2 and 1-2 counts, a ball in play can hurt. That's when I need my nastiest pitch in my nastiest spot. If I've got it flipped — throwing my most hittable stuff with two strikes — that's exactly where they're getting me.
Step 4: They've figured out my pattern.
If I'm clean on steps one through three and they're still squaring me up, they're sitting on my approach. So I look at what's getting hit hard versus soft, in versus out — and I flip it. If they're punishing hard stuff late, I start hard and finish soft. If they're punishing soft stuff late, I start soft and finish hard.
The second you flip the pattern, they have nothing to sit on.
@DezBryant 3 things my gramps told me to never talk about unless a select few. Money, politics or religion. No one needs to know shit and don't feel pressured by those who pry. Just be a good person and treat people how you want to be treated. Just my 2 cents 🤷♂️
@mitchtrout Let them go to Indiana please 🙏. At least then my taxes won't go up because of them and I can get cheaper gas when I go. Win/win for me 🤷♂️
HOW TO HAVE BETTER READS IN THE GAME ON BALLS YOU NEED TO ATTACK🔥👇🏻
What tells an infielder it’s time to attack the baseball and cut down distance instead of sitting back while the runner closes ground and the clock keeps ticking?
Coach Trent Mongero explains the dead giveaway that elite infielders use to stay on the hunt, play offense on defense, and make more plays.
