This NBC camera angle is like they were the last ones to get there and the only open spot was behind drunk Barry in the 18th row of left center bleachers. Let the teams do their regular broadcasts.

GREAT question!!! Had this convo with so many hitters who lunge forward. This means their back leg straightens and weight moves forward. What i tell guys in the cage is…. Try to get the feel of keeping ur back leg bent through the whole swing. If u guys do this in the mirror, it is virtually impossible to take an off balance swing. U will feel the strength of ur base.

[Trent Mongero @CoachMongero]

Training to develop soft “pillow-like” hands… “out front” to all three lanes. Neutral, forehand, backhand.. with firm underhand feeds, belly button high and using a real baseball. Develops rhythm, tempo, timing, soft touch and eye-hand coordination. Two baseballs add to the difficulty and challenge elite players hands and timing.

It was an honor coaching Mitchell the past four years. Tough pitcher, phenomenal kid, and a flat out dog.

Class A district baseball is bonkers today, Caden Ransom hits a routine fly ball to left that would have ended the inning, except Bellevue East left fielder cant see the ball and it lands behind him as Lincoln Southwest takes a 5-3 lead in the second inning.

I was up late last night watching Nelson Cruz and Luis Arraez train. I love the inside tee hitting it up the middle. Hands working inside and through. Sticking finish with head down every swing. Video from Frank Valdez on Instagram.

Luis Arraez. Study how the best train. Notice the focus on barrel accuracy. Body control and balance. Head down every swing calculated reps with laser focus.

[Bellevue East Baseball @B_EastBaseball]

Well deserved Mason! This is only the beginning of your journey!!

[Xen Penny @XenPenny]

Mike Trout hitting machine with foam balls. What's impressive to me is how inside this pitch is, and he can still hit the ball up the middle. Talk about working from the inside part of the ball. I love studying the best.

[The Catching Academy @CatchingAcademy]

Keys to receiving the pitch up:

⚾️ Sit taller to create space and change point of reference for umpire
⚾️ High Target
⚾️ Prepitch movement stays at chest and absorbs closer to body rather than down
⚾️ Get above ball and aggressively slam dunk 🏀
⚾️ Present below the eyes

Tommy White, who went to IMG, became Tommy Tanks at NC State & is now a national champ at LSU does it.

But HS hitters are too proud to spread out & shorten up with 2 K’s…

[Catchers U®️ @CatchersU]

Here is a throwing progression that we have used this winter to get the most out of our catchers.
1) Both Knees Down- do slow to really feel the connection to the ground and maintain the load/stack on the back leg.
2) RKD throw from Knees- helps isolate the connection between upper body and hips without a level change.
3) Left Knee Down- allows catchers to feel the load (corkscrew) into the back hip vs going around and inefficiently rotating.
4) RKD- the stretch for catchers throwing to 2nd makes it easier to load/stack/connect while allowing catchers to square to 2nd vs turning maximizing efficiency and path.
5) Traditional Throws- lets you utilize the progression and feel what you are doing and why u are moving a certain way since you have built your process from the Ground Up.
