When the big guys go to bed before the little guy… 😂 by @cmass_6

Same athlete. Two weeks apart. Two different movement patterns.

➡️RIGHT: Two weeks ago

One of the biggest mistakes we can make as hitting coaches is assuming every athlete needs to move the same way.

Recently, I’ve been diving deeper into motor preferences and how individual athletes naturally organize movement/how their brain wants them to.

This athlete is a great example.

Pictures on the right are from a swing two weeks ago, we were cueing him to use the ground. He actually became more rigid. He got stuck, lost his ability to work toward the baseball, and began pushing himself up out of the ground.

Fast forward to today (left swing images), and we’ve changed the conversation to working INTO the ground rather than using the ground.

More rhythm. More momentum. More adjustability. More freedom to rotate and deliver the barrel.

We’re seeing characteristics consistent with an aerial movement preference, but the bigger takeaway isn’t about putting an athlete into a category.

It’s about understanding how THAT athlete moves best.

The goal isn’t to make every hitter look the same. It’s to help each hitter find the most efficient version of THEIR swing.

Stop forcing positions. Start understanding movement.

Trey is an incredible athlete and needs to feel his athleticism in the box to be his best. Over-cueing a kid like him can cause him to become robotic and rigid. Fired up to see this dude continue to progress!

If you geek over this, follow my guy @propelhitting and some of his posse… blessed to have him as a buddy and learn a lot from those guys!

A grateful gut punch.

I’ve seen a lot of people sharing clips from this sermon by Pastor Joby Martin at The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, FL.

This message has been lighting me up, and I thought it was worth sharing.

Knowing Jesus.

What a reminder that we can’t earn our way into heaven. Not by going to church, serving others, doing good deeds, or checking all the religious boxes.

The beauty of the gospel is that we don’t have to earn what Jesus already paid for.

We aren’t saved by what we do for Him. We’re saved by what He did for us.

His grace is enough. His sacrifice is enough. Jesus is enough.

THE FALL BALL TRAP 👇👇👇

“It’s just fall ball.”

So they don’t work all week.

Saturday comes…

Show up in shorts and flip-flops.
Haven’t touched a bat since last weekend.
Take a bad AB.
MF themselves all the way back to the dugout.

Then you ask their goals…

“I’m going D1.”

My man…

You can’t have D1 goals with a rec-ball mentality.

Try that approach in college.

6 AM — Weights
8 AM — Class
12 PM — Training room
1 PM — Practice
6 PM — Study hall
8 PM — Extra swings

Then wake up and do it again.

“But Coach, I sat the bench today.”

You can get SO much better without ever stepping on the field.

Study AB sequences.
Watch how pitchers attack hitters.
Take ground balls down the OF line between innings.
Ask questions.
Be a great teammate.

Be a student of the game.

Fall ball might be the BEST development season we have.

Games expose your holes.

The offseason gives you time to fix them.

But too many players waste the fall because “it doesn’t count.”

Then they wonder why college hits them like a freight train.

Stop waiting until college to act like a college baseball player.

Fall finds the holes.
Winter fixes them.
Spring exposes whether you did the work. by @cmass_6

Development isn’t REMOVING the problems from a path. It’s about growing the tools to SOLVE the problems.

Work through it. Don’t avoid it.
