In ST 2020 I’m cleaning up the cages after finishing work with the MiLB guys when Shohei walks in wanting to do his cage work.
It’s just Shohei, Ippei, & me in the cages.
Watching how he worked as I put balls on the tee gave me a perspective that changed how I coach forever.

At a showcase this fall a player’s dad asked where I coach. When I said
@FalconsBase
his response was, “Guess you gotta start somewhere.”
I was polite, but clearly it didn’t cross his mind that I love coaching JUCO & choose to do it.
Be curious, not judgmental.

So much baseball content focuses on what players “should” be doing & coaches sharing to potential employers what they’d have players doing…
Meanwhile an NFL Head Coach is deliberate in earning the attention of players rather than feeling entitled to it.

It had little to do with what he did & everything to do with the depth of his focus mentally. He didn’t give me the impression of just hitting balls off the tee working physically, it was as if he was working mentally even harder. Appreciative of the opportunity to experience it.

Coaching & instructing aren’t interchangeable.
Instructors tell/sell the mechanics, drills, & products you “need” to avoid failure.
Coaches teach the skills, habits, & behaviors that push you to find the limits of your potential while knowing failure is still entirely possible.

Accountability. Love me some Mike McDaniel but in baseball it seems like it’s the social norm for coaches to deflect blame towards players.
Hot take that probably won’t be popular…

Is Bat Speed critical? Yes. It’s how you turn 95+ around with a 95+ EV.
But…
Great hitters can cover +/- 15-20 mph velo difference. Average hitters +/- 10-15 mph. Poor hitters +/- 5-10 mph.
The ability to cover those velo differences comes down to Bat Path & Timing.

Learning to hit is learning to fail. Teaching hitting is teaching another human being how to manage failure.
You can’t embrace the opportunity to be a great hitter until you accept that failure plays a central role in being a great hitter.
Let go of results & simply compete.
If we let it, failure can provide an opportunity to free us from our expectations.
Failure can tell us that all those fears we had were misplaced. The world didn't end.
That can free us up, from misguided expectations. And allow us to perform to our potential.

The term “Bat Speed” is a buzz word. Is it important? Yes. Is there a baseline requirement? Yes.
Being on-time & accurate with the barrel is more important in my experience though.
The weight room builds bat speed. The cage is for learning to be accurate with the barrel.
Improving your bat speed doesn't improve your ability to create timing.
It doesn't even guarantee you'll have more time to wait. (Because some players who improve bat speed create a swing that takes longer to execute.)
Step 1 is timing, then learn how to do it faster.

A pet peeve of mine is saying that a pitch “isn’t a strike” when the umpire calls it a strike because no, it’s still a strike within the context of the game.
You can’t hit a strike. You can only hit hittable pitches & if you take it the umpire calls it either a strike or a ball.

Sometimes the show & go just happens organically but still have to show up ready to go because the umpire is still going to yell, “Play Ball,” and after 9 innings the scoreboard will say winner or loser.

Hot take…
The trend where coaches sell thoughts/cues/feels as the 🔑 to hitting (aka why you should pay them $50-100/hour for lessons) is subconsciously conditioning hitters to be selfish.
What would happen if we frame more communication through the lens of runs/winning?
“You have to get to a mode where you are solely worried about doing your job and being responsible for that with your teammates.
Anything else you get distracted and lose focus on what actually matters.”
Winning teams have players that focus on being the best for the team NOT…

My 1st convo with
@drivelinebases
shortly after the 2013 season was about rhythm & timing in hitting with a version of ⬇️ in my head.
Balance starts in the set-up & is maintained throughout the swing via Timing.
Timing = When movements happen.
Rhythm = Time between movements.

Hitting is hard. It’s the blending of the physical (mechanics) & perceptual (vision/timing) that make it art as much as science. No need to make it harder by making social media a contest. Some kids & parents rely on it for info. Be positive. Set an example. Grow the game.

Hitting happens in the present while umpires call balls & strikes in response to the past.
You hit with your eyes. See what you can hit hard & hit it hard & then take the rest.
BBs are byproducts of taking un-hittable pitches.

If I have one takeaway from my time around MLB hitters in the cages it’s their level of focus. It’s less about the number of swings & more about the level of focus that separates hitters. Some need to be taught to focus…others what to focus on…either way…mental skills matter.

Do I know sometimes I’m socially awkward? 100%. But I see too many hitters conditioned to expect & be responsive to coaching 5 swings into our relationship.
“Observe & say nothing” should meet the social expectation, not defy it, empowering hitters to just do what they do. 🤷♂️🤯
COACHES: It's ok to observe and say nothing.
Let a hitter know not to be alarmed if you don't say anything at first - you're just watching how they go about their routines and movements in order to meet them where they're at.
You can learn a lot by watching.

Everything ties back to Bat Path with Rhythm, Balance, & Timing serving as the catalysts to optimize Bat Path.
An Oppo Approach doesn’t mean going pullside can’t or won’t happen…its the thought process to maintain direction to not run out of barrel & keep the ball fair.

What comes first, the hitter’s timing or the mechanic? Address the mechanic but keep the same timing & the mechanic breaks-down. Address the timing without addressing the mechanic…spin in circles.
There is no magic fix. It’s why the swing evolves in small increments over time.

Growth mindset is something we talk a lot about as coaches.
So why not apply that curiosity to how we coach?
Ask hitters questions to guide them to creating their own answers. Encourage ownership.
Use curiosity to build relationships & find common visions & goals.

While game-speed training is a staple of my coaching process, the rate of failure hasn’t always been game-like & is something I’m making a deliberate effort to prioritize.

I told the guys if we scored 12 in both games today I’d rock the Bronson Arroyo cornrows for the next week…the way the guys competed though to pull it out in extras might deserve going all in despite only scoring 11…the 2 out bases loaded 2B by

I’m not a big picture guy, but thank you
@ReporterTubb
for snapping one of my all-time favorite pictures.
Not only is it a practical example for why a lefty catcher’s mitt makes sense, but also captures my “elite” athleticism. 😂

Every swing adjustment should have an in-game purpose.
The game tells you how you need to improve. How it looks may get you more likes & retweets but how you produce in-game gets you paid to play baseball. Simple.
What
@chaserowe23
has built
@BattlegroundBG
is special.
IMO we are in the worst era of hitting development, the advancements in golf/pitching development do not equate to the same path for hitting. It’s evident when you see training swings for social media/metrics in BP vs asking does it play in game. Train to hit in game.

Quote of the weekend goes to
@JasonCarp33
as we crossed the Delaware River.
“George Washington crossed the Delaware one Christmas Eve, he was going to win the Revolutionary War. We’re crossing it to simply go win two baseball games. We’ve got it easy.”
Perspective. 🤷♂️

Pure electricity! Proud of you
@drewmillas22
! Most fulfilling part of this game is the relationships that are created throughout the journey & without a doubt you’ve earned it every step of the way!
We've selected the contract of catcher Drew Millas.

Think about this in relation to hitting…
When you see plus velo do you speed yourself up in response to the velocity? Or do you focus on dancing with the pitcher by synching your rhythm up with the pitcher to create timing?
Being “late” is a byproduct of what we focus on…
We believe we don't have enough time when really we don't have enough focus.

“Winning over yourself rather than the opponent.”
Sadaharu Oh’s book is by far one of the best books I’ve ever read. So much of hitting is mental. Are mechanics necessary? Yes but…
A flawed swing will get beat by certain pitches…your emotions can beat you every pitch.

Ridiculously strong with plus bat speed continuing to learn how to turn raw power into game-power. Not many have the combination of bat speed & bat-to-ball ability that
@AydanMcNelly10
has.

Being stuck indoors for too many straight days can create boredom or inspire some creativity where you just go full send on making it fun.

From an individual standpoint
@CodyFleischer13
is off to a torrid start posting a .407/.515/.593 line across 33 PAs.
Middle of the order type bat with plus bat speed & plus raw power who controls the zone well. Ton of upside with the bat & defensively behind the dish.

This was really cool.
Julian is also very good at catching the ball. He’s also very good at throwing the ball. The work he’s put in & the progress he’s made in the short time I’ve been here is remarkable.
If you need a true SS there’s a good chance Julian should be your guy.

When freshman RHHs can use the clock in RCF as a target in BP & actually hit it…you start to get excited for the season.

Given he’s also got 2.0 scoreless on the mound,
@purplepluto727
continues to just be a ball player who finds a way to get the job done. Through 20 PAs has 1 HR & 4 2Bs.

Love how he defines process with 3 controllable inputs & defines it in a manner that scales across an entire program for coaches, hitters, & pitchers.

Sounds a bit like hitting…🤷♂️
Routines are a coping mechanism for our brain.
They make us feel in control
If you’re completing a task with a high degree of uncertainty and a low degree of control, creating a ritual can be a successful way to keep negative inner voices and emotions at bay.
