Welcoming back an 𝑨𝒍𝒍-𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 ‼️🐧⚾️

Getting @YSUBaseball dialed in heading into a scrimmage
Focus on swing decisions, adjustability, and swinging with intent to do damage.
-Mix machine
Compete time, move fast and see shapes
-Live arm BP
Short bat depth ladder👉Posture and adjustable POC
Skinny bat around the world👉B2B skills and ball flight goals
Hunt a zone👉Learn the strike zone and figure out where you can win
-Mini hack
Bat gauntlet👉Find the barrel, be a problem solver
🔑Something not talked about enough in swing mechanics:
You can have great forward bend with your torso, but if the pelvis isn’t engaged, you’re leaving a ton on the table.
When @CalebHadley1 pulled his pelvis away from the plate, it unlocked a ton of rotational space and allowed his COM to shift properly.
✅More space.
✅Better ball flight.
✅Cleaner turn.
Competition Saturdays‼️
In training you need days to go into compete mode, trust your training, and go bang
To challenge our hitters today we put them in the box against an iPitch that was going full mix; FB, SL, and CH
@CalebHadley1@ryland_heckman@colton_schmokel
All hitting absolute lasers today🔥
𝑨𝒍𝒍-𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 ✅🐧⚾️
Congratulations to 𝐊𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦 on earning ABCA/Rawlings Third-Team All-America honors!
The Seattle, Wash., native is the first Penguin since 2001 to garner All-American recognition!

Want to highlight a bunch of our guys who individually had career years, and took advantage of the opportunity to be everyday players. Coming into the season only 4 of our consistent starters had 50+ D1 AB’s
Wanted to give a shoutout to our guys this year. Wrote their name all over the @YSUBaseball record book, and laid the foundation for many great things in the future. Was awesome to watch them take advantage of the opportunities they were given and go compete. #FeedTheRaft
