A player flew into Nashville from Alabama today and told me:

"I want to be more consistent."

So I drew this picture for him.

Because I think most hitters misunderstand consistency.

They think consistency comes from making more perfect swings.

I don't.

I think consistency comes from what happens when you MISS-HIT the baseball.

The numbers aren't actual batting averages.

They're simply a visual.

100 = a miss-hit pulled ground ball

300 = a miss-hit through the middle

400 = a miss-hit toward the opposite side of the field

The point is simple:

A right-handed hitter who rolls over and pulls a ground ball usually hits it right into defenders.

Out.

But a hitter who is working through the middle and opposite-field gap?

When he misses it...

that same ball often sneaks through the infield for a hit.

As I think back on the most consistent periods of my career...

it wasn't because I never miss-hit the baseball.

It was because my miss-hits were still finding grass.

That's a strategy.

The most consistent hitters aren't perfect.

They simply create a larger margin for error.

That's why you'll hear great coaches say:

"Hit line drives through the middle."

"Drive the ball to the opposite-field gap."

They're not just teaching direction.

They're teaching hitters how to stack the odds in their favor.

When your miss-hits still have a chance to be hits...

consistency becomes a lot easier.

Thank you for reading,
Jermaine Curtis

Ideas for controlling the running game

[Devin Mesoraco @DMesoraco]

Baseball games are won and lost with the 2s, two out hitting and two strike hitting. It was one of the first conversations we had as a group. It’s how they get the stickers on their helmets. Just what we do.

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

POP TIME
Catchers are always trying to improve their pop time. Taking the location variable out of the mix there are two ways to improve pop time . Speed up your transfer or improve your throwing velocity. In general there is an inverse relationship between transfer & velocity. The faster the velocity the slower the transfer & the faster the transfer the slow the velocity. You have to find the sweet spot between the two to get your best pop time. This doesn’t account for the accuracy component. Sixty three to sixty seven per cent of pop time is ball flight so giving up too much ball flight velocity to quicken your release may not be the best strategy. For every MPH increase in velocity the ball arrives 1’6” sooner to the target. This is a trial & error process, however building throwing velocity is never a bad thing.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Stop assuming they know.
Teach everything.

How to warm up.
How to compete.
How to win.
How to lose.
How to be a great teammate.

The best coaches simplify and teach.
Nobody else will.

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

The amount of “hitting” information and advice being yelled out during some youth ⚾️ games is insane. You got parents, coaches, even grandparents and siblings wanting to give their 2 cents during every AB. It’s crazy! The hitting spotlight already creates enough internal noise and pressure, then add in everybody else’s personal opinions and anxieties, it’s literally overwhelming. It’s a whole different level of learning to focus, calming the heart rate, and blocking out the external distractions. Hitting is not easy as it is, add in the emotions and information from everyone watching (thinking they are helping), and you have created a mental disaster. And then you wonder sometimes why your ballplayer can’t hit? 🤔
