Most hitting problems come from one of four things: 1. You're late. 2. You're swinging at balls. 3. You're missing your pitch. 4. You're giving in with two strikes. Fix those four things. Hitting will usually take care of itself.

“You get up every day, you’re entitled to nothing. You could have talent but if you don’t have discipline and you don’t execute, you don’t focus. What do you get? Nothing. Nothing is acceptable but your best,” -Nick Saban Winners assume nothing and give everything.

No serious baseball player wants a break from baseball.
College baseball players play 50–70 games in the spring season. Then go play summer ball for another 30 - 50 more. If a HS player “needs a break from playing” in the summer what do you think happens when they get to college?

ATTN: All HS Baseball players Before you (or your parents or travel ball coach) tells everyone you’re only interested in D1… Go to a D2, D3, NAIA or JUCO game. (especially in the post-season). I promise your eyes will open and maybe some more doors.

Hot take: the 3-0 fake bunt is worthless garbage.

High School Playoffs. Chasing a high school state championship is special. Winning a high school state championship is historic for any high school player. The players go to school with each other for years in most cases. Some have known each other since they were toddlers. Parents know each other and it means something to the community. High school athletics bring people together and form a forever bond. High school athletics can't be replaced and are more important than most realize.

Great teams set the bar high and don’t get complacent. They compete every single pitch regardless of the score, opponent or circumstances. Fluke teams are happy to be there. They play not to lose instead of playing to win. Good enough is just good enough. Good enough isn’t great

Hit the ball hard, on a line, to the middle of the field. Do it off tee. Do it in BP. Do it in a game. If you do that. You will be a successful hitter.

Mediocre teams have "cool" players. Great teams have coachable players.

You don't control makes or misses. You control your preparation, your focus, and your response. Control the controllables.

High school baseball is different. More pressure. More on the line. You’re playing for your school. Your teammates. Your community. No re-dos. No picking a new team next weekend. Every game matters. Different game. Different stakes.
