UTSA utilizing the half bat. One of the top progressive coaches in the game, detailed cage work instead of ‘just’ cage work.

Constant progress & focus. 🧠📈

Palm-Up/Palm-Down med ball throws are great for teaching hitters how to side-bend with their torso during the swing phase.

[Brett Snell @coachsnell36]

In order to be able to handle a seasons workload of 50-80 pitches (hs) & 70-100 pitches (college, pro) per outing you have to train accordingly in the offseason. You can’t throw 2-3 times a week & make 30-50 throws per session and expect to stay healthy or maximize performance

Start simple....create a plan and stick to it....every day

[Jeff Leach @CoachJeffLeach]

My high school coach gave me a simple goal- 100 swings per day. Tee, toss, BP whatever. Just get in 100+ swings.

It sounds simple (It is) and It WORKS!

If you’re deliberate with practice, mix in some higher intensity training (ex live at bats) you WILL get better.

Build rotational strength!

[Bill Miller, CSCS @billmills]

Based off of in-house numbers, there’s a very nice correlation between rotational scoop toss velocity and batting exit velocity. Rotational power matters!

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Just a reminder.

• Distance means time, lessen the distance to the hitting zone, gives you more time. Most guys are too high, weaker and longer.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Imagine if I told you guys keep your eyes behind the ball 50 times a game. Oh wait...

[OnBaseU @OnBaseU]

Watch how Freeman uses his lower body to help generate power.

We typically see a 1 - 2.5” lift of the center of the pelvis between heel plant and contact. Freeman is likely at the high-end of that.

[Kyle Decker 🇺🇸 @Coach_Deck]

TOP HAND BUNTS ON KNEE | Works on posture presentation and catching ⚾️. Back knee down for 3B side as LHH. Front knee down for 1B side as LHH. You can actually see me making a catching motion with my hand.

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Cruz - Rear elbow and top hand under bottom hand maintaining palm up position.

- Breaking ball low for a double

Back side swinging the bat vs most hitters adjust out front with their front side making the backside drag.

A look at the last four full season doubles leader’s swings;

• Cosmetically on surface looking ‘different’ but matching up to the same positions before contact.

“If you go to class & you do average work - you get a C - that’s why it’s called average. If you want a B - you have to do more work & if you want an A you have to do even more work. You have to give up stuff - you have to sacrifice.”
-Geno Auriemma

[Alex Simone @SSPerformanceTX]

Here’s a fantastic hip mobility series you can use to improve hip health/mobility. @KanzlerThinks first showed me this series and it has worked very well for a majority of my athletes. Our guys will utilize this series pre-game, pre-training, the day following a high CNS day etc.

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Strict positioning & attention to detail while making adjustments.
