Player Development. It’s not just practice.
1/ Thread...A few thoughts on Player Development and what we have done at College of Central Florida. The term "Player Development" is sometimes taken for granted and just shrugged off as "coach speak" without the meaning of what exactly you are doing when it comes to PD...

Royals asst. pitching coach Zach Bove heads to Chicago. Not surprising to see given the turnaround of KC's pitching department & how much of an impact Bove has had with that group. Other teams came calling quickly. Will be interesting to see how his position is filled now in KC.
The Chicago White Sox have named Zach Bove as major-league pitching coach, while Matt Wise will return for his third season as the White Sox bullpen coach.

I will say this much: the fact that so many Twins coaches get poached, or hired quickly after they exit (i.e. David Popkins), suggests this org hires well. For whatever reason the positive impact can’t seem to materialize here.
Corbin Day, who was in a support role with the Twins big-league staff last year, is the latest Twins coach to join the Marlins.

Good take from Mark Blackburn’s book THE COACHING CODE Your eyes have limitations that technology does not. What your eyes give you is an impression filtered through your biases & experiences. What technology gives you is objective reality. It makes sure our confirmation bias

Of course we could miss a 48 yarder to tie the game after making a 68 yarder.
