If you say you’re a serious athlete and want to play at the collegiate level, no one should have to make you do the work. The work is something you choose to do because you want it. The work is something you enjoy. For many, the idea of playing at that level sounds great… but the reality of what it takes to get there is something they don’t truly want to commit to.

What if you could track your at bats and have immediate feedback and heat maps tailored to your swing decisions and execution? Soon… 👀 Facilities/Instructors Coaches Teams Athletes @troycannode3

@CoachSwit 78ft steal times, home to 1b, more valuable.

I’ve said this before, but with tryouts around the corner… here we go again. A 60-yard dash time isn’t necessary for baseball. This isn’t 1990. Let the haters hate…..

In-season at-bat tracking is a gamechanger. How are you being pitched? What are you swinging at the most? How's your timing? For players, coaches, and teams. How's your execution? We've got something special in the works @TeamPaCannode

@GowagsKyle Especially for the young softball players. Bigger and heavier ball.

Children are not smaller versions of adults. The ball/bat collision changes everything. 5 oz.baseballs often create a "brace for impact" sensation. One huge recommendation....go lighter and go bigger for your beginning hitters. Bat speed 👆 Confidence 👆Pain 👇

@BluebookBeede Be athletic not robotic

This evening at 8PM EST, I will break down one of the biggest mistakes in youth baseball today: chasing "perfect" hitting and pitching mechanics at younger ages (8-14). While clean mechanics matter in the long term, obsessing over textbook positions too early can actually hurt more than help, leading to frustration, lost athleticism, stalled development, overuse injuries, and even burnout. We'll cover why "perfect" swings and deliveries often rob kids of natural athletic movement and feel. How forcing elite-level mechanics on growing bodies creates tension, poor habits, and higher injury risk (especially for pitchers' elbows/shoulders) @ProlineBalls @bsblbluebook @NorCalU1 @nextlevelbb @TylerBeede

@AndersonLMiller See it all the time in youth baseball and softball.

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 💭

Another thing to think about...anything but a shallow fly ball scores the runner on a Sac Fly...and if you are the opposing team facing judge with 2B and 3B 1 out...if he does ground out to 2B...and you get the 2nd out and only give up 1 run...that is practically a win for the defense in that situation...

First at bat he was pitched all inside heavy sinker sweeper. Second at bat he sees heavy sinker and sweeper. The 2-2 fastball he took for ball 3 he may have been thinking sweeper and it is going to run way off, it's a four seam that just misses the plate...The 3-2 sweeper at 87 mph just had him out front. No way to know what he was looking for in that moment. Hitting is hard.

I don't think anyone went up there looking to yank pull side and strikeout. There were only 3 runs scored in a heavyweight matchup between two teams with some of the best talent in the sport. Judge is one of the best hitters in the game - for high average and power. He got beat on a sweeper from Severino early in the game and later got robbed by Rodriguez on a great play in CF. Four Seam fastball usage last night was 29%, cutter/sinker 28% and sliders/sweepers 26%. Everything looks like a fastball until it doesn't. Last night we saw elite pitching, hitters who landed some punches, some great defense, and a battle down to the last pitch.

2016 MLB World Series Four Seam Fastball usage 50% 2025 MLB World Series Four Seam Fastball usage 29% 2026 World Baseball Classic USA vs Dominican Republic Four Seam Fastball usage 29% Plan and approach matter more than ever...you can't hit 99 mph and 89 mph sweepers at the same time...hunt location, hunt a pitch...and try to land a punch!

@LA_Swiftness It's wild...the great receiving by the catchers in some of these games, and the velocity and movement from these pitchers...I think the umpires did a pretty good job. Without ABS...it's 100% human decision in a split second and I think most of the time those guys get it right

Complains about catchers framing would be balls into strikes. Also complains that framing pitches is stupid and doesn’t work.

Hear from one of our in-season trainees - Nathan Wells (2027 Uncommitted)

@CoachJeffLeach Zero feel

Get Smoltz off the big game broadcasts. Talking buzzkill

🏆 🥎 Wesley and her teammates are off to a great start to the 26 season.

Great work today ladies!!❤️🤍🩶💪🏽 CCHS Lady Cavs, Sarah Beth Tournament Champions!!

Another night - another homer for Wes @2028Wesley

@JeffStanek1 Some kids walk in with a bbcor 😂 but that’s rare around here.

@SwingAngryLLC Maybe my area is just an oddball area, but I rarely if ever see kids with bats that are too small. Everybody's too excited to run out to Dick's Sporting Goods on the first warm day in March and get that new weapon!

If your son is having trouble squaring the ball up this spring, ask yourself one important question. Did you just get him a new, bigger bat? From coaching 8-10 year olds, in my estimation, about 1/3 (probably more) of all kids swing a bat that is too big for them. They can't control the barrel. The extra weight behind the swing is cool and all. Unless your kid can't square it up. Don't get this part wrong: Your kid should swing the biggest bat THAT HE CAN CONTROL. But the second half of that sentence is more vital than the first half. How do you know? Ask your kid to take 10 swings with a ball on the tee. How many does he square up with the new bat? How many with his older, smaller, lighter bat? If he's squaring up more stationary balls on the tee with his old bat, that's your proof that his new bat is too big / too heavy. He can't control the barrel yet. Go back to the smaller bat. Barrel control rules in youth baseball. #ControlTheBarrel
