Behind the ball is how you get depth AND length out front. (Not one or the other)
Here’s what it actually gives you:
1. You swing more connected and deeper.
2. The barrel enters earlier and stays in longer.
You get both.
3. Depth behind what buys you length out front. Most guys are picking one or the other.
4. You sling the barrel through. You’re not shoving it or yanking it into the zone.
5. You actually use the ground. Behind the ball you turn. If you’re not using the ground, you’re probably sliding and pulling everything towards the ball.
6. Your bat speed becomes usable. Pushed and pulled bat speed still reads fast vs one pitch one speed. Only one of them shows up on the barrel, in the zone, on time vs pitching.
— Cue for your next round: let the ball get deeper than usual, and turn behind a wall.
You can scoot close to a net in front of you to get the feeling, too. Then vs moving ball.
> Save this for when you need it
> Send this to a hitter who needs it right now
(And make sure you’re following)

Sometimes the bravest thing to do is say NO to the immediate, play the long game. Do whats best for YOURSELF AND YOUR FUTURE. Believe in your own worth. don t devalue yourself. Trust in your choices, and trust that your time is coming. AND NEVER LOOK BACK.🩵

SO MUCH SPEED at the top of the @DiamondHeels probable 2027 lineup
• CJ Egrie (@cjegrie20): 46-48 SB (2nd in D1)
• Jamie Laskowfski (@JLaskofski): 36-43 SB (16th in D1)
For comparison Egrie had more SB last season than UNC's top 2 combined (Egrie: 46, Schaff + Hull: 44)

"We did it" - The line I told my dad while tackling him after hearing my name called in the MLB draft.
An open letter to all future MLB draftees:
The emotions you will feel this weekend are hard to put into words.
It is a mix of fear, uncertainty, excitement, and gratefulness always tied into this thing called the MLB draft.
Just know that you have earned it.
The commitment no one saw, the late nights by yourself, and the self-belief are a big reason you are here.
But they aren't the only one...
The people on your bus helped to get you here.
Your parents who took you to everything (and paid for it), that teammate that picked you up when you were down, and that coach that changed the trajectory of your career need to be celebrated.
So let them know their impact.
This experience will be a blur, and before you know it, you will be a minor leaguer.
That is when the real journey starts.
Don't lose sight of your dream; it wasn't getting drafted...it was playing in the big leagues.
You will want to doubt yourself.
You will face incredible challenges.
You will wonder if this is the right path.
My encouragement ~ Just keep going.
Professional baseball will teach you more about life than it will about baseball.
Whether you end your career with 10 games in AA or 10 years in the big leagues, you should celebrate that.
You defied the odds every step of the way.
That ability to overcome (when everyone said it was impossible) will carry you in everything you do in life.
And lastly ~ Enjoy the journey.
There will be a pull to always want the next thing.
The callup.
The contract.
The recognition & applause.
Yet the real joy comes in the journey.
The bus ride.
The card game.
The clubhouse conversations.
You will blink, and it will be over.
So to all the players getting drafted this weekend.
Good luck and welcome to the club.

@CoachBeede And u can be noticed from the conference! Exposure is there

The Patriot League and the NESCAC are hiding in plain sight. High-academic, real baseball, and aid packages most families never price out because they assume no athletic money means no help. It often means more help. The ones who win here did the homework off the field first.

The MLB (and the 3 other majors sports in this country for that matter), better prepare themselves for the new generation of young men trying to go pro.
Just saying.. it’s not going to stop, and there will only be more of them. They don’t wear the “Jesus Won” shirts for show.
Leading Report@LeadingReport
MLB reportedly told Sen. Josh Hawley it should not have “warned” the Giants players, reaffirming that players are free to express their beliefs and that no player will ever be fined or disciplined for their religious views.
