BASEBALL: David Armendariz is the new head coach at Sierra Canyon.

No surprise here. Armendariz was a standout himself at Notre Dame/SO (knows the area well) and was on the staff under Tom Meusborn for last three years.

The future is bright.

We are saddened by the passing of Brian "Mulli" Mulligan.  

He was a staple of the CSUN Baseball program for numerous years. He and his dog "pal" will always be remembered for their hard work and dedication to our student-athletes.

Most “disconnection” issues are really rhythm issues.
Upper & lower half have to move on the same beat.

2 drills I use to clean it up ⬇️
• Bat carries → teaches gather → go
• Ball under front arm → separation without losing connection

Pushy hands? Give this drill a try!

Push comes from hands leading.
Hover drill cleans up rhythm and allows the back side to lead so the barrel can release.

Here’s some of the best advice I got as a player and still give as a coach to help time up any pitcher with any arm slot.

Extension 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 contact 💥
The swing doesn’t finish at contact, accelerate through the ball and do damage!

✅ Pitch adjustability
✅ True backspin
✅ Clean, natural extension

2s & 4s: A great vision drill. Mix 2-seam and 4-seam, call it out early, and train your eyes to work ahead of your swing. Seam recognition = better decisions, cleaner moves, and way better contact. Take a look at a mic’d up session running this drill!

Build a swing that transfers to the game, not makes you dominate the cages. Subtle but big difference. There is a big separator of these types of hitters. Anybody can hit BP, but can you go out and compete with the game on the line?

Game 7 brought us an instant classic in an unforgettable series! Here are the biggest swings 🔥

We are World Series Champs!!!!

[Riley Conlan @RC_Hitting]

Simplifying the game, not living and dying by analytics. A lot of success by competing and being really good at bat to ball. Throw some increased bat speeds in there and it’s a pitchers worst nightmare

[Riley Conlan @RC_Hitting]

Important message for hitters and coaches everywhere: ‼️ Trust the process ‼️
Just because the hits aren’t falling doesn’t mean abandon ship.
Staying mentally strong and controlling what you can is everything in a game built on failure.

The Hook ’Em Drill 🔥
Stay connected through your lower half and maintain your backside as you move forward. Helps you stay behind the ball, improve direction, and produce more power.
