Over the last couple of years in professional baseball there has been a lot of discussion about Batting Average and why current MLB hitters struggle to hit over the magical .300 mark. So... Let's Break Down Batting Average 🧵 1/13

John Rave was named the International League Player of the Week 🤩 Rave went 9-for-19 (.474 average) with 3 doubles and 2 home runs with a league-leading 18 total bases and 9 RBI in five games against the Iowa Cubs. 📰: bit.ly/4suwIJY

Do you struggle making a forward move in your swing? Or maybe you crash into your front side too early? Here are 3 drills to help you control your COM moving forward during the stride phase: ✔️Step Backs – Forces you to load correctly before moving forward, training you to drive your COM with intent instead of crashing to the front side. ✔️Walk Through – Slows everything down so you can feel how your COM shifts through the stride phase and build better body awareness. ✔️Kershaw – Helps you stay loaded and in control as you begin your forward move, so you're driving your COM not lunging with it.

From NAIA to Division 1, Matt Rhoades bet on himself and completely shifted the narrative on his career 🚀 He's having a monster season so far for Butler: .312 BA | .784 SLG | 1.200 OPS | 17 HRs | 32 RBIs Oh, and Big East Player of the Week Honors 🏆 The future is undeniably bright for the Butler Slugger!

@GFWest19 has made some huge gains since his initial test in 2023. Hard worker + good player

Why is Fernando Tatis Jr. is off to a slow start? A thread on a small change that is having a big effect on his production.

Kid can rake! Here's @GFWest19's slash line this season: .373/.481/.676 with 8 bombs and a 1.157 OPS 💣 Here's the swing:

Cam Smith falls into a similar category He made a conscious adjustment and is reaping the rewards so far this season His attack angle has increased 5° & his bat speed has increased ~3mph Here’s his batted ball profile from 2025 with his 2026 bat speed increase

Michael Harris II off to a quiet start but keep an eye on him👀 Top 20 xwOBA at .437 Top 20 Barrel% at 20.8% Bat Speed +1.5mph from 2025 at 75.8 Some very loud outs and bad luck Here's what he could have done last year at this 75.8 mph bat speed 30+ homers and an MVP?

@zachmacdonald13 114.2 mph to left, sound up! 🔊🔊🔊

Colt Keith had one of the highest FlyBallOut% in the league in 2025 largely due to his 27th percentile bat speed This year, his bat speed has increased ~3mph Here’s his batted ball profile from 2025 with his 2026 bat speed increase +20 barrels +9 HRs All-Star Caliber player
