@Teacherman1986 Let’s go - this fires me up!

Had a great visit from this guy today. Kevin Kendall (UCLA, Mets) Thanks for coming, Kevin. He’s an HLP certified instructor in Southern California. docs.google.com/document/d/1PK…

@AndersonLMiller Hey Anderson what is that device you’re using called?

Bat Speed Testing w/ Directional Constraints

@brockhudg I’d already seen enough from Big Hank two years ago

Some parents think they have a professional athlete on their hands. I’m now one of those parents 🙋‍♂️ and say me too.

@LesLukach @PB_Uncommitted Huge upside and tools, even better person

Rincon’s BP was amongst the best of the day. Carried that into the game with these two ropes and a couple very good plays on the field. Good @PB_Uncommitted ‘27.

@T_Rost12 Just get the ball in as fast as possible

OUTFIELD ASSIST DATA (TruMedia, P4 '25) - 94,322 total outs recorded - 386 total OF assists - .4% of all outs via OF throws - Only 10 teams had double digit OF assists - Teams averaged 1 OF assist every 9.5 games It is hard to throw guys out. Be good at catching the baseball.

@alex36burbidge Thanks Alex! We used a ton of Trackman metrics both on the offensive and pitching side - for practices and games. Weight room data was also something we collected weekly and used it to manage workloads/track progress/create individual development plans on the field.

@jungbaseball Great stuff here. Wondering what kind of Trackman measurables and any other sort of metrics you guys might have worked with over there?

When I stepped away from coaching last year, I realized how many resources I’d built as the DOBO for Duke Baseball. I put them all in one folder and have been sharing it with coaches recently. Sharing it here if you'd like to take a look, hope it helps! drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@drewmiddleton24 1. It revealed who they admired / their biggest influences off the field. 2. Gave insight on how they would think/express personality and reveal a little about their worldview without asking directly.. 3. Provide some deeper relational insight - how to motivate, values, etc.

@drewmiddleton24 So that questionnaire we actually never used at Duke - I think I just archived it (IIRC the original was from Coach McCormick at FAU). But I've used a similar type of question before in a reflection form and my biggest reasons for a question like that were.. (1/2)

This is phenomenal. Spent the last hour thumbing through everything. Awesome stuff.

@1dbowles I’ve got lots of practice plans, I’ll definitely add some next update.

@jungbaseball Any practice plans?

@CoachStockdale2 Thank you!

@jungbaseball Looked through all of it. Nice work!

@coachk21 Thank you Kelly! Hope all has been well

@jungbaseball Thank you Danny. Great stuff!!

@ClubAllStar Glad you found it helpful!

@jungbaseball Great stuff! Thank You

@SportsWageringT Thank you!

@jungbaseball Very, simply ... outstanding work by you, young man. 😀

I plan to update this Drive in the weeks to come.. if you have any questions on any of the resources in the drive or would like to talk about anything else - happy to be of resource.

@brockhudg Big Hank!

This is my 5-year-old. Most kids his age are just learning how to stand in the box. Hank’s driving the ball over the shortstop’s head. Why? Because “he” makes me play ball with him almost every evening. 30 to 45 min of backyard baseball starts to compound if you’re consistent just like anything in life. We play with a few rules: Run through the bag or you’re out. Make a turn going to second or you’re out. Throw the ball at the bag and you’re out If you want your kid to love the game, teach it to them in the backyard.

Quantifying Success Indoors Playing ball in the midwest, this was the time where we would be limited to indoor practices/trainings until the start of the season. At Notre Dame, we had to be creative to maximize the spaces and availability for indoor facilities with other sports. From an offensive standpoint, we were restricted to cage BP and scrimmages on half of an indoor football field. As a program - we had access to all the technology at the time (Blast Motion, Hit Trax, Trackman, Oculus) that would help quantify data, especially indoors. The funny thing was - we didn't use ANY of that my last few years at Notre Dame. What we did focus on / measure instead? We had a 3/2/1 system to grade the quality of contact for every batted ball during training and scrimmages: 3 - flush/pure contact on the barrel 2 - average contact 1 - poor/weak contact We competed to see who could get the most amount of "3s" during a BP session off a machine, live at bats in the cage, and scrimmages in the indoor facility. Something as simple like this valued the process > results - hit the ball hard on the barrel consistently, you will win more as a team (and we did). This grading system was definitely subjective to the human eye, but it helped us as players keep it simple and focus on what's most important.
