If perfect mechanics were enough…
they wouldn’t disappear in games.
So why does a player look great in lessons, but stiff and inconsistent under pressure in the game?
Let’s break it down🧵

Adrian Beltre used to say: “Hitting is a Dance”

Great coaches teach sportsmanship.
Control the controllables.
The umpire, the other team, the parents—that shouldn’t change your integrity.
Respect the game. Compete the right way.
This isn’t it 👇👇👇

Here’s a little closer view of this stupidity

Function over Form..
Movement over Mechanics..
Not just about how you swing, it’s about how you Move.
English
My JUCO coach used to say: “Line drives over the second baseman’s head.”
That’s the entry point to a great swing.
Not forcing lift…
but entering the zone clean.
When your movement is efficient, the barrel works for you.
Line drives become the foundation…
and lift shows up naturally.
How you enter the zone is everything.

Today’s Batting Average on balls hit on the ground or on a line: .500 Today’s batting average on fly balls: .162 (one of those left the park). You want success as a hitter. Learn to stay on top of the ball. If you do that, and you get stronger and stronger the power will come, I promise you.

Public Service Announcement:
Consider this gentle reminder: If you're not dedicating time to train your movement flow and athleticism, you're inadvertently hindering your movement system's ability to perform at its best on game day.
Train how you want Play.

@flowsdoc 1 Practice doesn’t replicate the game (better practice design)
2 Perception of the situation (pressure or stress changes your brain, your perception of that changes your brain)
3 Most mechanical solutions are just one solution, train flow & adaptability (try differential learning

@flowsdoc In preparation and/or action?
In the body and/or the mind?

“The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body.”
-Bruce Lee
The hardest thing for a player in games isn’t swinging harder, it’s to relax and Flow!

@flowsdoc Growing up my cousin & I used to play whiffle ball HR derby. We would draft a team of 9 players each & use their stance/swing. Think of going from Bagwell to Sheffield to Griffey. Switching right & left handed. Honestly think it’s the best possible way we could have built swings

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.

Is movement training the future of youth baseball player development?
Baseball Flows™@BaseballFlowsHQ
Youth baseball has a development problem‼️ Kids master drills… not movement. So when the game speeds up: late swings, off-balance throws, stiff defenders. It’s not a mechanics issue. It’s a movement skills deficiency. Build the athlete first. ⚾ Move Better. Play Better.

@cogsciclinton Sometimes the changes are more likely to cause the side effect vs the intended effect
English
@flowsdoc Every tradeoff has a cost. Create a few different youth-oriented baseballs, pilot test them in league settings, and let's find out if the benefits outweigh the costs.

Hearing more talk about changing the baseball at the youth baseball level…
Genuinely curious—what’s everyone’s take on this?
Garrett Basil Boyum@gboyum01
I don't know why we use real baseballs at the entry levels of youth baseball. Kids are afraid of the ball & rightly so b/c they haven't yet developed the motor skills to catch the ball. If they get hit w/ a real baseball they're going to be afraid of the ball creating bad habits

My AB’s begin before the game. Then I continue the process like were seeing here from one of the best throughout the game.

When does the at-bat Begin?
English
My JUCO coach showed me a couple of keys to stealing a steal when the defense is distracted
1. After an error
2. After a walk
3. After a pitch
4. Observe patterns of when infielders look down or turn to the outfield
Any more?
