“It's really hard to hit 95. It's way harder to hit it when you're thinking about where your legs or hands are. Then your focus isn't on the ball. So, when I struggle, it's most often because I'm thinking about my swing instead of just trusting my preparation.” Bo Bichette

“I think left center. If I think center, or pull, I get too rotational and spinny. So for me, left-center is a good cue. I want to be as north-south as possible with my direction, I don’t want to rotate and get east-west. I want everything going towards the pitcher.” Gavin Lux
