Rocky Helm

A total of 37 high school baseball teams will play 42 total games spread across four host sites the next three days to kick off the season. My story on how @MaizeEagleAD coach Rocky Helm (@MaizeBaseball) came up with Wichita's newest baseball mega event. kansas.com/sports/varsity…

🚨 𝗞𝗦𝗛𝗦𝗔𝗔 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟱: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 With the season set to get underway, we’re rolling out our first Power 25 of the year - featuring the top programs from across the state. See who leads the pack and which teams are knocking on the door 👇 🔗: bit.ly/4dnIMZB

If you use GameChanger, you’re probably looking at the wrong stats. Most players and parents focus on batting average, hits, ERA… the scoreboard stuff. Those numbers tell you what already happened. But they don’t tell you if you’re actually getting better. The best players I coached at the Division-1 level weren’t obsessing over those numbers. They were tracking process stats. Things that actually predict future success. The late Mark Marquess at Stanford used to say: “You can’t change the spots on a cheetah.” Meaning your habits show up later. If you throw strikes now, you’ll throw strikes later. If you strike out a lot now, that usually follows you too. Development leaves clues. Here are a few examples of better things to track. Hitters Quality At-Bat % (strong is around 65%+) Pitches seen per plate appearance (elite hitters are around 4) Walk to strikeout ratio Pitchers Strike percentage Pitch efficiency First pitch strike % Tarik Skubal was 71.5% last season! The point is this. GameChanger tracks a lot of stats. But development usually comes down to mentality and approach. If we as athletes can focus more on what’s controllable and less on what’s uncontrollable, we’ll be mentally healthier and make better progress inside our own process. Keep playing the long game. PTLG. @GetGameChanger

@KUAthletics What a true legend and a great friend. Will miss him greatly as he touched so many lives. RIP my friend!! RCJH forever!!

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of Dr. Scott “Scooter” Ward. Scooter gave more than 30 years of his life to KU and impacted countless lives in profound ways. We are all better because we knew Scooter. Our love and prayers go to his wife, Robin, and all of his loved ones. 🔗→ bit.ly/KU-Scooter

@JoelKlattShow @joelklatt Separate P4 and G5 schools. Have a 16 team bracket for both. First round games at higher seed. Use the quarterfinals, semifinals, and championship as bowl games. That gives you 14 bowl games and have the championship games be finished not later than the first week of January.

"The top four seeds in last year's playoff, and this year's playoff are a combined 1-7... we can't serve the purpose of a bowl season and do a playoff at the same time." @joelklatt shares his thoughts on the format of the College Football Playoff. Thoughts?

@TylerOsik TIMING

Fixing timing isn’t about swinging harder… it’s about understanding when and why the swing starts. This is exactly what we teach inside Hitters University online. Real adjustments. Real game speed. Real results. DM “TIMING” and I’ll send you the link to show you how we train hitters to be on time consistently 👊

🚨Why College Coaches Recruit Catchers Differently🚨 Coaches aren’t just looking at stats…they’re evaluating who you are behind the plate. ⚾️ If you’re a catcher trying to play college baseball, this is the thread you need to read.👇🧵

@joshgessner SPRINT

Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to train your central nervous system to fire faster. And sprinting is one of the best tests for how well your CNS is firing. Look at Roki Sasaki, who throws 103 mph. When researchers studied him, they found he had similar characteristics to an Olympic sprinter. Or Aroldis Chapman beating Billy Hamilton in a race—when Hamilton was the fastest runner in the MLB. Or even Shohei Ohtani stealing 50 bases last year. They’re elite at throwing and sprinting because they’re so efficient at firing their CNS. So if you want to take advantage of this, here’s what you do: – 2–3x per week, incorporate sprint variations (acceleration, weighted, max effort). – Do ~10 sprints per session. – Add rate of force development, VBT, and impulse-type training into your routine. And if that sounds confusing, just comment SPRINT and I’ll send you the exact routine I’m using to throw 100 mph.
