Someone is taking the winter off from hitting…
The same guy is going to complain about playing time in the spring when the guys in the trenches pass him up.
Don’t be that guy

Jeter to Murphy...
“The Brewers play baseball the right way” ….
- Pat Murphy replies … “Guys today don’t understand that!”
We have gotten so far away from center as to what winning baseball is and looks like… the younger generation’s focus is on launch angle, spin rates, velocity and you only win by out slugging the opponent! Basically…. Hit more HR than the other team…. Then pimp the HR.
Well eyes have been opened. They have to be. It’s now a matter of … if pride will keep the other orgs from following. If they do… our game will skyrocket like never before.
It was literally the most beautiful baseball I have seen at the MLB level … electric!

It’s often a guessing game when running against a LHP. Here Simpson guesses & runs 1st move against Romero & Romero goes over with a low anti 1st move pick. Bad guess. If you do run 1st move, it’s a low % move to get in a run down. Go hard to 2B, stay tall, run for the middle infielder’s glove & slide late. That inside lane on the grass route is reserved for the ground ball to the 1st baseman. When it’s a 1st move steal & they pick, you are hoping it’s a higher slower leg lift move where you can beat the throw by going as fast as you can from ‘A’ to ‘B’. In this case it was a low leg lift pick. Veteran move.

"That's the goal as hitting coaches, to get guys to believe in themselves because you're not always going to feel great."

Baseball player.
Jose Ramirez was asked why he was laughing while rounding 3rd:
J-Ram said he knew a changeup was coming and Adell could rollover to the left side of the infield.
So, he tried to steal 3rd hoping to pull Caminero and Walls to the bases and open up a hole in the infield 🤯

YESSSSSSSSSS…..love this! Good stuff, Greg….and Rudy is the man!
I learned this drill from Rudy Jaramillo when I was with the Rangers. I'm trying to hit this pitch (down, in and deeper in the zone) up the middle with backspin. It forced me to be direct with the barrel out front and get familiar/comfortable with that location without muscling up.
Place the tee just in front of your stride foot on the inside corner. Drive the ball up the middle and if possible, to the opposite corner of the cage.
I loved the feeling of not fearing the inside pitch. It gave me the freedom to focus on the heart of the plate. I later got traded to the Yankees and saw Derek Jeter consistently hit this location to the RCF gap (in game), solidifying my confidence in this drill.
If you (or your hitter) can't hit this ball up the middle, it's likely that the shoulders are turning prematurely. It ain't for everybody, but it could be for somebody!
Thanks for watching/reading all that!

My JUCO coach used to say: “Great infielders don’t react. They adjust.”
Anticipate the pitch. Read the hitter’s swing. Know what’s coming.
Our SS and 2B even alerted the corner infielders to off-speed pitches.
A million Baseball IQ by Walls!

The Rays believe in Strike one. They hit the FB. They run the bases well. They play good defense. Bottom half of order know who they are and execute. Move runners if they need to. More importantly they don't strike out!! Sometimes people complicate this game. They keep it simple

Everything matters.
One of the best scouts I've ever been around and one of my mentors Tom Kotchman said.
I want to see kids play in intersquad games (so called meaningless games) and or practice.
Why?
He said how they played in low adrenaline environments is who they really are.
MLB seasons are long and players have to be studs even when the adrenaline is low.
People that say fall games or high school games or summer games or Intersquad games or practice is meaningless are lost.

Got told this morning by a P4 recruiting coordinator
“The velo guys are doing ok, the guys with a change/split they can show for strikes- even if it’s average- are outperforming the top velo guys in productivity”
Sharing so yall realize good hitters can piss all over 95 if there is nothing to go with it
Sliders and curves that are above avg or elite help a ton don’t get it twisted, but basically they sit fastball unless they get 2 strikes
I’ve now had over a dozen recruiting coordinators tell me the same thing about changeups - use this info how you wish I’m spoon feeding yall the answer here

Here’s another retired MLB hitter who teaches kids to hit down through the ball.
Matt Kemp could really hit!
He hit (.284) with (287) homers and a career (.821) OPS over his 15 year @MLB career.
Maybe @shegone03 knows what he’s talking about after all huh?
