Gavin Collyer is a guy I’ve talked about before, and certainly is one to keep an eye on this camp. His shapes he’s able to generate from his 11 degree arm angle are eye popping, and if he’s able to figure out his command even slightly, he’s a guy I can see getting big league innings this year.

OHHHH MY GODD AUBURN TIGERS WALK OFFF 🔥🔥

Hitting is the most difficult thing to do in sports: People forget that sometimes. You know what makes way hitters worse at something that’s already incredibly difficult to do? Fear based coaching. Tense. Stiff. Anxious. Reactive. “If you strike out looking, you’re on the bench.” “You don’t want it enough” Brutal approach. What kind of message is that sending to a hitter. Here’s a better option. Create calmness and conviction in your hitters. Let them know that it is impossible to cover all 9 squares of this zone. But whatever zone within the strike zone or area you are hunting, be 100% all in on that zone. Communicate with your hitters. “What’s your plan here?” Ok win there. Relentlessly hunt it. Convicted hitters win. Tense, reactive hitters lose, & don’t enjoy playing either because they are operating out of a fear, scarcity mindset. Instead of a mindset that creates, calmness, conviction, & consistency. There’s just simply a better way. Than just “compete” Relentlessly hunt your plan. Reassess on the back end. Repeat this process, every round, every game at bat. This is hitting. This is effective coaching. This is elite communication. It’s a lot calmer, less emotional, simple, & much more effective… Food for thought 💭
