BREAKING NEWS....stop teaching kids to hit like Big Leaguers. They aren’t strong enough. Their fly balls are outs. If you constantly get out, you don’t play. Learn how to hit first. Power, launch angle crap, blah blah blah will come later.

WAY too many players are overly concerned with measurables/data....how bout this, learn how to be a baseball player. Learn the game. I see guys that throw fire but have no idea how to get hitters out. I see guys with awesome exit velo and have no idea how to hit. #walkb4run
