Cade Povich's crazy separation 🤯 Povich stopped into Tread HQ following the 2025 season for a quick Mocap to address the key focal points for the offseason with his coach @TurnerGivens

Environmental changes (isolating swing flaws with machines) allow for faster self organization. Failure is only failure if you let it be!

🚨 Dan Heefner : Fixing Swing Flaws • Use the machine to isolate the flaw • Increase the number & difficulty of the reps • Talk less & let the hitter figure it out ⭐️ Expose the weakness & embrace the challenge... Focus > Frustration

From last night’s Mariner-Tiger playoff game. Accurate 1.94 laser throw out by Dillon Dingler. Note how he transitions from a sprinter stance to a staggered receiving stance & then back to a sprinter’s stance when the runner breaks.

Measuring adjustability….. this could be fun.

Can we actually measure a hitter’s in-game adjustability? Stats show results… but what if changes in Swing Path Tilt could give some context? Where do you think Schwarber ranks — Top 5 or Bottom 5 in Tilt Adjustability? 👇 Here are the Top & Bottom 5 🧵

Here's a look at the in-game Peak Bat Speed vs Average Bat Speed MLB average Peak Bat Speed is 85.8mph No qualified hitter had a peak below 77.2mph If you can't achieve this in your training, it's highly unlikely you'll achieve it in game Train accordingly

MLB Bat Drop/One Hand Low Finish Homeruns from the 2nd Half of the Season🦇💧 The Bat Drop works a lot of the time for guys who throw opposite handed or have a bottom dominant hand and is another destination cue

Over 60% of MLB swings occur at 80-90% of peak bat speed Bat speed training isn't about swinging with absurd intent in games—it's about raising your ceiling so you swing faster WITHOUT changing your level of intent 90% of 85 > 90% of 75 More info: https://t.co/oxAKifHMZR

Self correction through constraint based drills is the quickest way for desired movement patterns to stick!

🧠Constraint-based training in action. Using external constraints to guide internal motor patterns and create lasting movement changes.

A really impressive display of using posture to adjust his bat path from Ernie Clement 49° Tilt on a pitch 7.5" below the zone 11° Tilt on a pitch 16" above the zone Most hitters are not capable of both ends of the spectrum Short 🧵showing some other movement solutions
