All 4 touch 100mph or harder. Different lower half movements and different arm actions. But they do share some similarities. What do you see? 🧐

Easy to throw shade on a kid after one mistake. Anyone that knows @jbbeck27 knows that he a great kid and a joy to be around. He got caught up in the moment, but that one moment doesn’t define who he is. I’ll take 9 Jordan Beck’s on my team any day.

3.86 ERA pitching in the SEC and goes undrafted.. I’m all in on metrics and data, but at the end of the day do we not care about who can get outs and who can’t? I’ll take a guy that’s going to compete and pound the zone any day of the week. Oh yeah, and he tops at 96mph 🤷‍♂️

Gets pretty old seeing these types of tweets - “HS coaches stop doing ___” “HS coaches don’t do ___” A lot of HS coaches I know are some of the best coaches I’ve ever been around at ANY LEVEL. And we will continue to bunt / hit & run because that’s how you WIN GAMES.

HS Coaches... Please don’t go tell a kid how to hit when he’s worked all off-season and is having success when “launch angle swing” is in your vocabulary. Stick to writing the lineup card and figuring out how many bunts and hit and runs you’re going to call 🥱

Coaches do not have the magic pill when it comes to hitting or pitching development. The magic pill is having a player that’s fully bought into developing their craft and has the discipline to work on areas of need on a daily bases.

Many players think “fixing mechanics” will help them throw harder, and for some this may be true. The lowest hanging fruit for most is to gain 10-20 pounds, get stronger and create more rotational power. Ask a player to chart their macros and weight for 6 months and find out…
