The velocity era is a tired act. Watching dudes with below command trying to throw as hard as they can every pitch is vomit worthy. It's time for the pitchability, moxie and feel era to resurface. Command it. Then learn to throw it harder, not the other way around. The velocity progression is supposed to be gradual. Example 9th-79-81 10th-82-84 11th-85-87 12th-88-90 Then continue climbing in college. It's how injury risk is reduced drastically. Learn to control it. Learn to command it. Then add velocity.

Congrats to Luther College baseball on the clinching of the conference in 2026. Well done boys!!

I love this!! Hitters that are cage monsters and struggle with it translating to the diamond, this is GOLD!! Repeatable mechanics are a staple for consistency, but mental mechanics are something that always get overlooked. These are easy ways to prepare and reduce mental drift!

Hitting is recognizing pitches Hitting is arriving on time Hitting is adjustment making Hitting is controlling emotions Hitting is having an approach Hitting is hard! Let’s not make it harder by complicating it with a bunch of irrelevant mechanical mumbo jumbo. One thing is for certain: If your mentality is constantly consumed with swing thoughts, you have been brainwashed to believe that swing mechanics are the key to your success…. And that is 100% false! Mechanics are important✔️ But… Mechanics are just a small piece of the hitting puzzle. There’s so much more to it! #BaseballTruth

🚨 BASEBALL PLAYERS...If you’re not using TWITTER for recruiting, you’re missing real opportunities. College coaches are on here EVERY day evaluating players 🗣️⚾️ READ BELOW to see WHY TWITTER MATTERS in your RECRUITING🧵👇

The “boring” stuff wins ballgames: -Backing up the play -Putting the ball in play -Moving the runner -Making the routine plays -Consistent communication -Throwing strikes -Smart baserunning -Taking your walks -Getting HBP, holding your ground -Hitting a cutoff man -Hustling out everything *At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.” Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win! #BaseballTruth

Every HS kid I ask “wants to play” in college. But so many don’t want: 20 hours of practice/weights 20 hours of class/study hall 0 hours of “social life” Some weeks: 6-7 days a week. 6am starts. 10pm ends. Sooo...Do you REALLY want it?

One of the biggest problems in baseball player development… Is expecting 6–12 year olds to move like Aaron Judge. Coaches and parents watch slow-motion MLB swings… then try to copy and paste it onto kids. But those movements are built on years of development. No young player can replicate that. Let them build their movement and athletic skills first… and their swing will follow.

You treat every pitch the same. That’s why pitchers control you. 0-0. 2-0. 0-2. Same swing. Same mindset. Same result. That’s the problem. The count changes everything. Ahead? You should be hunting damage. Behind? You should be fighting to stay alive. Most hitters don’t adjust. They swing the same way no matter the situation. And pitchers know it. They expand when you’re behind. They challenge when you’re not ready. They stay in control. Not because they’re better. Because you’re predictable. Great hitters don’t just swing. They use the count. They know when to attack. When to shrink. When to pass. That’s why they’re in control the whole at-bat. If your approach doesn’t change with the count… You’re already beat. That’s Baseball IQ. Built pitch by pitch. Proven over time. Routine Over Flash. #3LeftsBaseball #BaseballIQ

This is one of the most important things you can do between every pitch: - Breath - Find a Focal Point - Release - Reset - Re-focus Hitters, make this part of your cage routine so it becomes second nature. So many amateur players play the game TOO FAST!

Baseball rewards the ones who keep showing up. The ones who put in the extra reps when no one’s watching. The ones who fail, adjust, and come back stronger. Hard work doesn’t always show up right away… But when it does — it’s everything you dreamed of. Keep going. The game always gives back. #BaseballDreams #HardWorkPaysOff #KeepGrinding #TrustTheProcess

Raw numbers on average Counting Early Work/BP Game Days Ground balls per week: MLB- 350-450 Per week Minor League-450-550 Per week College- 250-350 Per week HS- 10-30 Per week If you want to play good infield. You better find a way to get reps!!!

At some point, baseball stops being about what your parents want. It becomes about what you’re willing to do when nobody is watching. You either love it enough to chase it… or you don’t. And if you don’t — that’s okay. Baseball isn’t for everyone.

For the serious ballplayer.. Hitting 1 time per week Is delusional Hitting a couple times per week Is unacceptable Hitting daily Is your ticket for success #BaseballTruth

Dangerous!! The most dangerous athletes are the stoic ones. The ones you can’t read. You don’t know what they are thinking. They play fearless. They don’t care about your antics. They are so confident they don’t get rattled in moments of chaos. These players also tend to be leaders on their team. They often come up clutch in big moments. They are a coaches dream!!

Train transitions. Train adaptability. Train humans — not positions. Baseball rewards robust movers, not robots. Move Better. Play Better.

Less is more!! The higher we go and as the pitching gets better, we have to simplify our movements and do less — not more!! Great story here from 12-year Major Leaguer @helms_wes and how this worked against Hall of Fame pitcher Billy Wagner!! 🤯💥⚾️ #baseball #mindset #approach

You’re never “too busy” to get the extra work done! And if you think you’re “too busy” that’s “too bad” for your future! BASEBALL TRUTH

Practice with purpose and watch your growth!
