How do we handle high Velo and high spin? We have to change our mindset. Our brain is going to tell us one thing, but we have to override that with our approach.

If you can’t “stay above” the fastball up, todays game is going to be a struggle, especially at higher levels.

[Jeff Morgan @CoachMorgan21]

Tough to learn, yet so important to a player and team!

[Tom House 〽️ @tomhouse]

“The most important pitch is the next pitch.” This is the most important life lesson I learned as a pitcher.

I haven’t pitched in 50 years. I say this to myself every day when I lose focus, get anxious or get in my own head.

[Tom House 〽️ @tomhouse]

Warm up to throw, don’t throw to warm up.

Even when everyone else picks up the ball, you are the person in charge of taking care of your own arm and health.

Having the time of my life coaching my dude Brady and the @DiamondHawksTN 14u squad. Getting to watch him learn the game, get better every day and have a blast with his teammates is what it's all about! Truly blessed to have this experience!! #getbetter

Life is very fragile.

Hold nothing back. Be family first. Take a chance. Bet on yourself. Take nothing for granted & appreciate everything positive that comes your way. Don't sweat the small stuff, LIFE is hard, embrace everyday.. tomorrow is promised to no one 🙌

Great day for the @DiamondHawksTN

[HitDr @CoachCahill]

Hitters: If you hear,"get on top" and the instructor means hit the top of the ball with the barrel, you will chop & pop up. It's the HANDS that must stay above/over the ball so the barrel (which gets below the hands) can collide with the ball. If your hands plunge, you won't hit.

Curveball Tips

•Stiff wrist
•Throw it hard, arm speed is king
•Hand speed out front
•Middle finger & thumb dominant
•Sight catchers mask for strike
•Sight glove to bury it
•Play with loose VS tight grip
•Let armslot be what it is, no climbing up slot

Mike Trout - How Different A Swing Can Look

👈 Down/Away & Early
👉 Up/In & Late

The pitch location and your timing is going to have an impact on how your swing looks. Before you shred your swing, make sure you know the context.

[Jeff Morgan @CoachMorgan21]

All the feels for this kid

[Matt Pagni @CoachPags775]

LONG HOPS

•Quicker than lofted throw
•Allow receivers to maintain position/line
•Prevents base runners from advancing extra bases b/c of over throw
•Utilizes cut offs and allows for redirection to different bases

REIGN IN THE URGE
CONTROL YOUR ARC
