Top three pitches , which one is your favorite?

[Oates Specialties @Oatesspecialty]

Warm up the path, not just the muscle. 📐⚡

Moving a long-lever oscillation device through your actual throwing motion bridges the gap between general warm-ups and high-velocity output.

🧵 The Mechanical Breakdown:

1/ Erratic Force Management: The TAP® Shoulder Tube® forces your kinetic chain to stabilize rapid, unpredictable perturbations across every single degree of your throwing motion. 🦾

2/ Sports-Specific Prep: Activating the device along your precise throwing trajectory trains your stabilizers under the exact structural angles required during baseball pitching and throwing drills. ⚡

3/ Joint Centration: Forcing automatic co-contraction keeps the humerus centered in the socket, setting a baseline for safe velocity. 🔋

What’s your favorite pitch?

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

The back knee foreshadows bat path. If the back knee extends or pushes the back hip will follow and the front side of the upper body will have to lead the swing, creating inefficient bat path and poor barrel direction.

[Chipper Jones @RealCJ10]

Anytime the top of the bat almost points at the pitcher during stride, thats a long way to go to catch up with velocity. Abbreviate the load a bit. Get him to think thru the centerfield wall, not over it. That will allow front elbow to go more directly to the ball. He has a bit of an arm bar (straightening) of that elbow, which also is slowing him down. Hope it helps…

[Michael Nagamatsu @Coach__Naga]

To be an elite hitter, you have to do these 6 things:

1. Control the zone (swing at strikes, take balls)
2. Master the cage. If you can’t hit it where you want to in a controlled environment, how do you expect to do it in a game?
3. Contact rate. Move the ball!
4. Intentional positive self-talk. You won’t be beat. You’re the best player on the field.
5. Be 1% better than you were yesterday. Set daily achievable goals, and accomplish them.
6. Be athletic and move weight.

🚨 Ron Washington - Fielding Tips

• Isolate the hands
• Stay under it and through it
• On time is when the ball hits the ground

⭐️ One of the best teachers of the game!

Soto + Shohei Backside Feels

These both can be helpful feels if you’re a hitter who gets front side dominant or pushes the hands forward to get to the ball
