Daniel Jackson Swing Breakdown One of the best bats to watch at the CWS this year 31 HR and 25 SB as a catcher, he is built different

A lot of good hitters have good swings. But they're not ALL IN. Their decision making is MAYBE... MAYBE... OH DANG IT. Instead of YES YES ABSOLUTELY. (Or YES YES NO when they take a pitch) Here's something I've told guys when they need it: "Treat every pitch like it's a hit and run. You HAVE to get the barrel on it. (within reason) But don't just hit it, DRIVE it. Hit and run, but make it a DRIVE and run." It's worked great. If you're good in the cage but underwhelming in the game, this is usually why. You're not being aggressive enough. You're not all in when you're between the lines.

Almost every catcher I coach struggles with this👆 Would be curious what pitching coaches think about this too!  I see it as a huge issue and once we solve it their whole world changes with their throw. 💪 #baseball #softball #catchingmadesimple

COMMENT what these ELITE hitters… Have in common⁉️ #theblueprint

Coming from under the drop ball. Coming from under the rise ball. Both come ‘around’ their rear shoulder. Never from over the top of the rear shoulder.

Pete-Crow Armstrong shares Miguel Cabrera's "sync-up" method. Pay attention to the front foot. As Craig Hyatt said in his original post, Cabrera syncs up the barrel and the front foot heel peel. PCA generally appears to do the same.

Incentives explain outcomes. Milton Friedman observed that you cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state. America’s earlier waves of immigration succeeded so well because, prior to 1914, the country maintained open borders without a welfare system. Immigrants arrived to work, support themselves and their families, and build new lives. Those who couldn’t succeed typically returned home. This environment naturally selected for self-reliant individuals and fueled tremendous economic growth. In contrast, today’s expansive welfare state, offering healthcare, education, housing assistance, and cash transfers, fundamentally alters the incentives. When immigrants, whether legal or illegal, can immediately access these benefits, it becomes possible for some to arrive and function as net fiscal drains rather than contributors. Friedman therefore opposed the unsustainable pairing of open borders with generous entitlements. So it’s not paradoxical why one would support pre-1914 immigration but oppose its later version. They are very different phenomena. Either can work on its own, but together they generate higher taxes, social friction, and long-term strain.

Turn the backside into the front side Can be a good cue for hitters who miss underneath and lift the ball too much Comment “BONDS” if you would like a drill sent to you to work on this feeling

I would absolutely get arrested if my kid was in that dugout 🤬🤬🤬

I asked Wayne to give me a short list of things he wanted to work on.
One of those things, in his words, was “lift.” “When I miss, it’s short.” So we set out to find a feeling. I used the tee earlier in the week with another player for different reasons, but it felt like a simple way to help Wayne experience getting under the ball differently. It also became a reference point.
Something we could keep returning to as we explored other movements. Sometimes that’s all it takes. I love the simplicity of something like a tee.
Beginner’s mind.
Something kids use that we can return to. I make shooting simple. Follow me.

🚨 Holliday’s Hitting Advice • “Hit the pitcher in the face” • Approach > Mechanics • Be on time for the fastball ⭐️ Overthinking is your biggest enemy on the field. Simplify the game down to 1 thought & commit to your approach.

Ketel Marte Recoil Homer If you’re a hitter who struggles with your body opening up too much try this feel out This can help clean up your connection between your barrel and body

This is why women are the most violent protesters.

Movement 101 📚 The back hip escorts the shoulders! One seamless athletic movement flow from start to finish! Better Movement = Better Player.

Old school hitters were feeling things science is still catching up to. But wisdom needs context. Different hitters need different feels at different times. The goal isn’t to copy every cue. It’s to understand why it worked, when it worked, and who it worked for.

High School players will have higher bat speeds than some MLB Players but don’t nearly have the same Exit Velos?? Listen to @nheadley14 explain why and the reason that selling out for bat speed may not help you produce better 🎥: @xavierscruggs
