I just saw a recruiting page for a class of 2032 kid.

I also keep getting ads for a new travel organization with 7u teams.

We have to stop this madness, you should go to jail for financial extortion if you are starting a 7u travel team.

VBTs for teams 🤝. When you aren’t familiar with athletes it’s hard to know when you can push them to do more. The sensors quantify the movement quality and I can have the girls add more weight based on how fast they’re moving. This group always wants to add more weight though!

Thunder Elite Baugher 12U from Warren, OH in again working VBT to compliment their training. VBT is something we pioneered for Baseball in Western PA around 2018. It is a strength and conditioning method that uses real-time measurement of movement speed (velocity) during lifts or exercises to guide training loads, intensity, and adaptations. We have used various devices and platforms over the years that provide immediate feedback instead of relying solely on percentages of 1RM

This approach is particularly effective for softball because the sport demands explosive power, speed, rotational strength, and the ability to generate high velocity in short bursts. Softball shares many physical demands with baseball, where VBT has been widely applied for similar reasons. It is a core component of our RYLEE system & we have used our experience to make the most out of our time with these kinds of teams/ groups. @Youngstown_News

Last week, @MakennaBlack28 followed up and her ballistics had drastically improved. Her velocity went from 60.2 mph on 1/24 ➡️ 70.8 mph on 2/8. Her stress level on this throw was 35 Nm, which was stable from her throws in the mid 60s. No pain reported 🎉 (Left 2/1, Right 2/8) https://t.co/qX94nSWapM

@MakennaBlack28 came to @PVSbaseball 1/24 for an intensive following a diagnosis of R shoulder impingement. Makenna is a physically gifted athlete & a former baseball player which showed during her baseline. We focused on lead leg blocking, ground recruitment, and layback.

The Cavs are trading Darius Garland for James Harden, per @ShamsCharania.

[Jeffrey @jeffthebean24]

Yesterday she followed up to continue working on holding the ground and improving layback. We still have a lot of room for improvement, but most importantly she reported her shoulder feeling good!

Stress: 23 ➡️ 36 Nm (*eval 2 weeks prior to intensive had her stress at 42 Nm)
Arm speed: 777 ➡️ 967 rpm
Slot: 47 ➡️ 50 degrees

Velocity: 60.2 ➡️ 65.8 mph

Mark Cuban (@mcuban) does a great job explaining how middlemen pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) drive up the cost of prescription drugs for Americans, thus setting up the need for Congress to pass reforms

Cuban: The US has the highest drug prices in the world "because we are the only country that uses PBMs"

Could be my perception, but it appears that Kirk is losing the framing battle this inning @KingFish626

Gimenez swinging away instead of bunting Clement over is looking bad at the moment

[Tyler Beede @TylerBeede]

This ALMOST happened in a World Series game…the most important games of their lives.

Yet somehow this happens EVERY weekend in youth/HS baseball tournaments because coaches think it’s normal to roll kids out there like Yamamoto in a World Series game.

Please help @Pitchsafe_co

It’s incredible that people don’t understand this. Great post

[Armored Heat @ArmoredHeat]

⚾️ Why shouldn’t we use feet to measure intensity?

Have you seen somebody throw 90 MPH from 90’? Have you seen somebody throw 65 MPH from 90’? Yes and Yes! Ok, Bad metric for our goals

⚾️ Why shouldn’t we use Perceived % intensity?

We have all seen Little Johnny throw his 50% bullpen at 80 MPH. No, he does not Sit 160 MPH in games last we checked. Too subjective of a metric

With all the technology and advancements in the game, there is no way we should be measuring build up throwing intensities with “Feet Thrown” or a “Subjective %”

We need to be able to quantify the single most important component of a Rehab or Build Up throwing Progression: INTENSITY

HERES WHY:

⚾️ For any throwing progression, the goal is to introduce a slightly higher stress to the arm, then let their body adapt to the new stress, making it their new baseline. Then, make another small increase in the stresses and repeating this process until they have returned to their normal Freqs, Intensities, and Volumes

⚾️ Too big of a Spike which could occur from both errors in being too aggressive or too conservative then having to ramp up to return to a game can be a cause a failed Return to Play

Here’s a simple fix: Use A Radar Gun

✅ Instant Feedback for Athletes to stay in a Goal Velo Range
✅ Very digestible metric for Athletes to comprehend and understand
✅ Avoids the flaws at both ends of either overstressing or understressing the arm

I just saw a video of a 10u travel team using earpieces so that other teams can’t steal their signs… wtf

Different sport, same great message. Your 11-year-old should know where to be when the ball is hit, proper cutoffs, pick-offs, and what a strike is. No one cares about the Cincinnati 4th of July Crush-fest trophy that your 4’2” son won while holding a runner on at 3rd base.

I feel like a “get off my lawn” old man when I see pants above the knees. You should wear them below the knee cap or all the way to your ankles

@_sweett3 Me too, I won’t make that mistake again. It was the nationally televised game that got me, either that or Dallas Wings vs. Seattle Storm. I’m a WNBA optimist but there’s still way too many horrible mid-ranges.

[Jeffrey @jeffthebean24]

Just watched my 5th and 6th innings of Pirates baseball this year and turned it off. Horrible pitch calling➡️ bad relay to home that had no shot, De La Cruz advances on throw. Next AB the IF in (Pirate bats can’t score runs) and easy RBI, wild pitch next AB. Bad baseball
