You can't hold a player accountable if he doesn't know the standard.

[Dan Padilla @danpadilla51]

Just see it and hit it can be a tough solution. Where and how you want to miss versus pitch type matters. Direction & path matter.

In the days following the Michigan loss, many called for Ryan Day’s job - claiming his inability to win when it mattered most.

Day never wavered and stepped up when it mattered most.

A true testament of leadership and being able to right the ship in the most treacherous waters.

@blakepete27 @tyson_ellis13 That fires me up! Good luck to you guys this season!

[William Flanders @willflanders12]

@blakepete27 @tyson_ellis13 This is an awesome tool for you guys to have. What benefits have you seen from this other than ability to track the execution? Do you feel like players are better informed of why you are valuing certain things?

[William Flanders @willflanders12]

@tyson_ellis13 @blakepete27 Interesting. Elaborate as to why you value it this way vs. total number of executions/pitches.

[William Flanders @willflanders12]

@tyson_ellis13 @blakepete27 Do you also track staff wide execution?

[William Flanders @willflanders12]

@blakepete27 @tyson_ellis13 I think this is great. Anything you can do to plot and then track this should help enhance the process. Using their tool are you able to track multiple sessions or is it a single session app?

[William Flanders @willflanders12]

@tyson_ellis13 That’s understandable. Definitely depends upon available tech. I believe you could use the Yakkertech and plot intended location for each pitch paired with the actual location from the CSV and use x/y values to measure average distances from intended location.

You should only read so much CLA. The rest should be learned by actually doing it.

Rich in theory is a great way to write a textbook. Rich in application is called coaching.

Know enough to get started. Learn the rest as you go.
