Had an amazing first weekend to start the spring season with my @MSCAthletics softball teammates @RipkenExpMB going 4 and 2.
Excited to play high school after missing all of last year with a broken wrist. I was proud how I drove the ball to all parts of the field contributing 14 hits out of 24 at bats.
Here are some of my swings.

1. Have to accept hitting is hard
2. Have to accept you’re going to have to see “failures” as successes
3. Have to accept at bats are valuable what you can control timing/readiness and pitch selection (essentially not getting yourself out)

Barrels up two hard groundballs and lines out to the third baseman. Still angry pissed “I can’t hit”
That’s a lose lose attitude and one that will lead to more failure but happens all the time.

Hitting thread on approach
The expectation/reality can’t be that a barrel is obtainable in every at bat or especially that a barreled “hit” is obtainable every at bat. It’s mathematically impossible.

🎥 Game tracking doesn’t just help players this season.
It shapes how they see the game for the future.
Players who track their games consistently today are going to be better prepared for when they reach higher levels of the game.

As a ballplayer, this will give you goosebumps
Taking dry swings in the hotel room and laying out your uniform like you were in 12u again
Love this reply from Judge!

I'm a softball dad first. Coach second. Skill instructor third. 15 years as a DPT and skill coach. I've seen the problem from every angle. Nobody had a real system. So I built one. Something big drops this week. #DominateTheDetails @HopsAP

Phenomenal game
Soto at bat and that at bat is why ABS is needed.
Crappy way to end an exciting night.

Check out this diving catch by Darien McDonough to get the Bearcats out of the bottom of the second inning!

Every way to swing has swing thoughts.
Are those swing thoughts to compensate for swing flaws or can you just focus on seeing the ball and being on time?

Not every hitter needs to “get into their legs.”
Ryan Costello had always been coached to sit deeper into his legs and heels. But when you watch his swing, something stands out.
He immediately comes out of his legs and moves toward the front leg.
Through assessment we identified a few key things:
• Best balance point: right forefoot
• Axis of rotation: front leg
• Limited hip/shoulder separation
• Power produced primarily through the shoulders
The adjustment wasn’t getting deeper into the legs.
It was allowing him to organize around the front leg instead of fighting it.
So far this season: 9 HR.
It wasn’t a strength issue.
It was coordination and balance.
Different hitters coordinate balance differently.
How often are we asking players to move in ways their body doesn’t naturally coordinate?

Swing comparison: Kaytlin Greenwood — Wofford Softball
2025
52 G | 6 XBH | .267 AVG | .688 OPS
2026
20 G | 7 XBH | .339 AVG | .879 OPS
Biggest adjustment wasn’t a rebuild.
She was popping up out of her setup, rotating around the back leg, which caused the hands to drop.
We started her taller, shortened the stride, and used the front side as the gas pedal.
Now she can rotate around the front leg and get the barrel working out front.
Early returns look strong.
What differences do you see in the swing? 👀

@Zona_Baseball It’s so clear isn’t it? I think it’s also why we have so many people think “they’re right” Because what they’ve seen works. But also ignoring the ones who’s profile don’t match the style.
English
This is so typical. Player gets coached to “stay back” “get on your back leg”— player gets back jumps or slides out of it because that particular player isn’t a back legger. They get the right info and feel free and Athletic!!
If you want to simplify it, there’s not one way to create turn and power from the lower body. There’s two, (to keep it simple)
Back leg or Front leg. (Front leg doesn’t mean to jump to the front side, it means the pelvis opens led by the inside of the front leg)
Bonds or Trout
Judge or Yordan
Schwarber or Edgar Martinez
