David Barfield

@flowsdoc I’m a nobody. But, I don’t like it when it’s a forced movement. Let the athlete be an athlete. Everyone has different movements that allow their body to achieve a task.

Just out of curiously, how does everyone feel about the “Get your Elbow up‼️” cue for young hitters?

Every parent, coach and player should listen to this. Maybe listen twice just to let it sink in.

Impressive throw from a LKD by Aaron Parker. Pop Time: 1.86 Velocity: 83 mph Exchange Time: .63 He uses the drop step as his "cheat move" to prepare for the throw.

I was criticized the other day for questioning why @MLB pitchers are throwing MAX effort in bullpen sessions this early in Spring Training. Maybe I know a little more about this stuff than you social media experts huh? Leo Mazzone is an expert on pitching and one of the best pitching coaches in MLB history and he agrees with me.

ABCA Day 2 🤝⚾️ Grateful for another day surrounded by coaches, parents, and players who care deeply about developing better movers, not just better mechanics. The conversations keep reinforcing one thing: 👉 Player development starts with movement. If you’re here at ABCA and want to talk: • athletic foundations • training transitions, not positions • keeping players healthy while improving performance Come connect with us. 📍 Baseball Flows Booth #1263 Let’s keep learning. Let’s keep evolving. Let’s keep helping players move better so the game shows up naturally. Move Better. Play Better.

Pitching and hitting film

@flowsdoc I coached a 11-year-old whose trainer &parents believe he better throw every ball as hard as possible every single time regardless of what his coach says. Even when he’s walked four straight batters. This kid throws the ball at least 10 mph harder than his peers but at what cost.

Should kids throw curveballs? Or are we asking the WRONG question? I just evaluated a 10-year-old with a UCL tear… who couldn’t even do a simple get up from the ground. And we’re debating pitch types? This isn’t a curveball problem. This is a youth development problem. Kids are: ⚾️ Playing 90+ games a year ⚾️ Throwing max intent before they can move ⚾️ Training like mini-pros ⚾️ Skipping athletic development ⚾️ Living in velocity culture And then we’re shocked when their elbows explode. So I’ll ask again: 👉 Is the curveball the villain? Or are we breaking kids before they ever get the chance to grow?

@OK_Breakdown Offense better figure it out

What's your #1 takeaway from OU's win over Alabama? "Call Your Shot" and we'll discuss some of our favorite responses on the podcast!

Bunting drill Set up two buckets third base lane and first base lane and aim for the buckets. The goal is to let the ball travel and to make contact more on top of the ball so the ball drops straight down and dies.

The bucket drill to help with feeding #baseball #collegebaseball #michigan #coach #drills

🚨 UT - 4 Base Drill Emphasis on: • Working on footwork • Throwing from different slots • Accuracy under pressure ⭐️ Great example of making your practice harder than the game!
