First year @SFGiants Manager Tony Vitello (@tony22vitello_) with a perfect illustration of the benefit of delayed gratification and what development looks like in one word: Sequence.

Sequence is essential to development. We live in a world that rewards instant gratification, but growth doesn't work that way. There has to be some level of patience or pain beforehand. 🔙

🗺️ Every meaningful outcome is built on a foundation of patience, repetition, and accumulated learning. If you want to get somewhere, you have to map out the journey and respect the order of operations.

🎳 The problem is that many people want the reward before they've earned the lessons. They want the title before the responsibility, the results before the process, and the success before the struggle. But sustainable success requires sequence.

🪜 You can't skip steps without skipping the growth that step was designed to teach you. Every stage prepares you for the next one, and when you try to rush the process, you often delay the outcome.

The fastest way to reach your destination is usually to stop looking for shortcuts and start respecting the sequence. 📍

Why Do Coaches Structure BP That Way?

Listen to Ryan MacMillian talk about the hitting progression that is traditionally in place without you realizing it 🗣️

No matter what happened in your last AB…
CONFIDENT NEXT AB
No matter what happened in your last game…
CONFIDENT NEXT GAME
No matter what happened last season…
CONFIDENT NEXT SEASON

Elite hitters have confidence…
No matter what happens

The velocity era is a tired act.
Watching dudes with below command trying to throw as hard as they can every pitch is vomit worthy.
It's time for the pitchability, moxie and feel era to resurface.
Command it.
Then learn to throw it harder, not the other way around.
The velocity progression is supposed to be gradual.
Example
9th-79-81
10th-82-84
11th-85-87
12th-88-90
Then continue climbing in college.
It's how injury risk is reduced drastically.
Learn to control it.
Learn to command it.
Then add velocity.

Congrats to Luther College baseball on the clinching of the conference in 2026. Well done boys!!

[Luther Baseball @LutherBaseball]

Coach Nikkel waited 12 years for this bath! Shoutout Randy Pereyra and Charles Running for flawless execution!

[Bob Lambert @Lambrewski3]

I love this!! Hitters that are cage monsters and struggle with it translating to the diamond, this is GOLD!! Repeatable mechanics are a staple for consistency, but mental mechanics are something that always get overlooked. These are easy ways to prepare and reduce mental drift!

🚨Sean Casey: How to Hit Velo

• Take a deep breath
• Trust your eyes
• Broad Focus vs Fine Focus
• One pitch at a time
• Think with intent “See the ball”

⭐️See the Ball. Be Easy. Hammer It.

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

Hitting is recognizing pitches
Hitting is arriving on time
Hitting is adjustment making
Hitting is controlling emotions
Hitting is having an approach

Hitting is hard!

Let’s not make it harder by complicating it with a bunch of irrelevant mechanical mumbo jumbo.

One thing is for certain:
If your mentality is constantly consumed with swing thoughts, you have been brainwashed to believe that swing mechanics are the key to your success….
And that is 100% false!
Mechanics are important✔️
But…
Mechanics are just a small piece of the hitting puzzle. There’s so much more to it!

🚨 BASEBALL PLAYERS...If you’re not using TWITTER for recruiting, you’re missing real opportunities.

College coaches are on here EVERY day evaluating players 🗣️⚾️

The “boring” stuff wins ballgames:

-Backing up the play
-Putting the ball in play
-Moving the runner
-Making the routine plays
-Consistent communication
-Throwing strikes
-Smart baserunning
-Taking your walks
-Getting HBP, holding your ground
-Hitting a cutoff man
-Hustling out everything

*At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.”
Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win!

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Every HS kid I ask “wants to play” in college.
But so many don’t want: 20 hours of practice/weights 20 hours of class/study hall 0 hours of “social life” Some weeks: 6-7 days a week.
6am starts.
10pm ends.

Sooo...Do you REALLY want it?

[Dr. Ismael Gallo DPT, MBA @flowsdoc]

One of the biggest problems in baseball player development…

Is expecting 6–12 year olds to move like Aaron Judge.

Coaches and parents watch slow-motion MLB swings… then try to copy and paste it onto kids.

But those movements are built on years of development.

No young player can replicate that.

Let them build their movement and athletic skills first…

and their swing will follow.

[3 Lefts Baseball | Coach Big Mike Fuchs @3leftsbaseball]

You treat every pitch the same.
That’s why pitchers control you.

0-0.
2-0.
0-2.

Same swing.
Same mindset.
Same result.

That’s the problem.

The count changes everything.

Ahead?

You should be hunting damage.

Behind?

You should be fighting to stay alive.

Most hitters don’t adjust.

They swing the same way
no matter the situation.

And pitchers know it.

They expand when you’re behind.

They challenge when you’re not ready.

They stay in control.

Not because they’re better.

Because you’re predictable.

Great hitters don’t just swing.

They use the count.

They know when to attack.
When to shrink.
When to pass.

That’s why they’re in control the whole at-bat.

If your approach doesn’t change with the count…

You’re already beat.

That’s Baseball IQ.

Built pitch by pitch.
Proven over time.

Routine Over Flash.

[Matt Gerber @M_Gerber17]

This is one of the most important things you can do between every pitch:

- Breath
- Find a Focal Point
- Release
- Reset
- Re-focus

Hitters, make this part of your cage routine so it becomes second nature. So many amateur players play the game TOO FAST!

[Dan Cevette @DanCevette]

Baseball rewards the ones who keep showing up.

The ones who put in the extra reps when no one’s watching.

The ones who fail, adjust, and come back stronger.

Hard work doesn’t always show up right away…

But when it does — it’s everything you dreamed of.

Keep going. The game always gives back.

Raw numbers on average

Counting Early Work/BP Game Days

Ground balls per week:

MLB- 350-450 Per week

Minor League-450-550 Per week

College- 250-350 Per week

HS- 10-30 Per week

If you want to play good infield. You better find a way to get reps!!!

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

At some point, baseball stops being about what your parents want.
It becomes about what you’re willing to do when nobody is watching.
You either love it enough to chase it… or you don’t.
And if you don’t — that’s okay. Baseball isn’t for everyone.

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

For the serious ballplayer..

Hitting 1 time per week
Is delusional
Hitting a couple times per week
Is unacceptable
Hitting daily
Is your ticket for success

Dangerous!!

The most dangerous athletes are the stoic ones. The ones you can’t read. You don’t know what they are thinking. They play fearless. They don’t care about your antics. They are so confident they don’t get rattled in moments of chaos.

These players also tend to be leaders on their team. They often come up clutch in big moments. They are a coaches dream!!
