Question : What happened to hitters hitting the back of the net in the cage?

I’ve seen it more and more.. cage bombs (still don’t know what that is) , ground balls, pop flys, hooked line drives, pushed line drives, rollovers and I could keep on going on but nothing is better than you hitting a line drive off that back of the net 10 times in a row.. that’s a HITTER not a SWINGER!

Instead of worrying about how far you can hit the ball with cut / slice worry about how consistent you can hit the ball with backspin. 🪐

Athletes, let me ask you something: Are you playing free, or are you playing tight?
When you’re worried about making a mistake, letting someone down, or what might happen next, you start playing not to lose.
And that’s when you get tight.
Playing free doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you trust the work you’ve put in. You stay in the moment. You compete with confidence and let your preparation take over.
You can’t control every outcome. But you can control your mindset, your effort, and your next play.
So take a breath. Trust yourself. Trust your preparation.
And go play FREE.
One pitch. One play. One moment at a time.

The trilogy of the weak-minded! Downright hard, if not impossible, to have a thriving culture when these three habits are running the show.
