When I was struggling with TIMING, I asked Dusty Baker what I needed to do to get on-time.
He told me 1 thing:
“When the pitcher shows his back pocket… you show your back pocket.”
That simple cue helped sync my load with the pitcher instead of rushing forward.
Next at-bat: line drive in the gap.
Stinks to not win-Good when don’t lose =the Huskies tied Pemberton in a rain shortened game 4-4. Huskies were up 5-4 but ⚡️ was seen & game reverts back to previous inning. Smith & Corbett pitched well 🎖️. Ryan Lasko had 2 🦇 & Mark Fanelli 2 🥩. Huskies now 9-12-1 @JSSInsider
It happened again.
An 11-year-old threw more than 160 pitches over a weekend because adults decided winning mattered more than arm care.
#Youth baseball has a responsibility to protect kids — not sacrifice their future for Sunday trophies.

So many travel coaches say:
“We had to push this kid extra pitches because we didn’t have enough arms for the tournament.”
Then maybe don’t enter the tournament!
If your roster can’t survive a weekend without blowing out arms, your team isn��t ready. Period.

High school teams play 3 single games a week…
Then summer tournaments hit—
6 games in 3 days. Sometimes 3 in one day.
And we wonder why arms break down?
Makes no sense…
But yes I know it’s about $$$.

Went to a HS game yesterday. Had a D1 coach come meet me there to watch a kid.
During the game, the team’s catcher would sprint to his position every inning.
He’s an underclassman, the D1 coach wasn’t there for him, he is now on that coaches radar.
Some things preached at every level -
▪️sprint to your spot between innings
▪️show off your arm in between innings
▪️serious throws in the INF/OF and as a catcher
You can be 0-3 and still make an impression
@CoachSwit 💯- get em out - I use inning to inning numbers and times thru line up and stressful innings
But i love seeing pitchers left in as coaches yell at umps
