Can we get some love for the deke?!?
Andy Pettitte picked off a baserunner in EIGHT consecutive games in 1997. 😵 No other pitcher in MLB history has had a pickoff streak longer than five games.

Here’s the mic drop for why you shouldn’t get caught up in your youth sports kid not listening to you…
If Charlie isn’t listening to Tiger, it’s probably a safe bet it’s “normal” for yours not to listen to you. Figure out who has their ear, and work through them.

Hitting is like walking through a minefield, where you know the path, and then one day you just forget where the path is…. Except you’re already halfway through the minefield.
Help yourself out and leave some bread crumbs and familiar checkpoints.

Every year some team makes/misses the playoffs by one game. When everyone is talented the margins are razor thin.

As a hitting and catching guy I find myself very torn... Not only are we, as hitting coaches, competing in an age of triple digits and banger sliders on the reg...

I really do love that POTUS is riding this out to the bitter end, because either:
A. He’s incredibly wrong, it’s immature, & that type of person shouldn’t be in office.
B. He’s incredibly right, our democracy is largely a sham, we need to fix it, and thank God he exposed it.

Rest easy Nick.
When you go to the Air Force Academy to play baseball Kaz tells you “you’re one of his now.” Whether you play for him for a day, a month, or 4 years… and it’s real. That’s what FAMILY means.
Nick came to better himself, and he was well on his way.

-Never 1 guy hitting, 9 guys fielding

You’re 6. It’s hard. You stand out in a field with limited difficult skills and touch the ball 3 times in an hour.
+ pressure, boredom, etc.
Baseball needs soccer’s equivalent to futsol. Mass reps, hustle, fun, low outcome pressure per rep, etc

Kaz cares less about the scoreboard than any HC I’ve ever met. His wins come 15-20/year in boys turned to men walking across the stage and shaking the President’s hand.

This feels spontaneous and risky, it’s not. It’s just paying attention and having a high level of give-a-sh*t. Runs are precious, might as well take them when they’re given.

Change the way we think as hitters. Be comfortable and confident leaving the cage not “on a good one”:

This is my favorite play in baseball.
Happens in the first couple steps out of the box, not when he makes the decision to actually do it.
Winning baseball is fun.
Hustle doubles are THE best doubles.
Yes, Duran has elite running speed, but the mindset & effort required to earn the extra base have nothing to do with speed.
Why are hustle doubles the best? Because you earn 2nd by the way you go down the line to 1st.

The fact that he’s ‘caring’ is obviously great, but for me it points more to Stevens’ understanding of human nature, and how to get people to respond when you’re in a position to lead.
Brad Stevens was once asked what he would do if he was dealing with a difficult player who wasn’t buying in.
“I would rebound for him.”
If you want someone to follow you, show them you care.
