As a baseball scout, there are two concerning hitting characteristics with HS & College hitters that stand out more today than ever before. 1) No Plan At The Plate Successful hitters don’t just hope to get a hit—they know what pitch they’re hunting, they exercise zone awareness, they know what part of the field they’re trying to use, they know how to work counts, and how they’re going to attack pitch to pitch. They have a plan, they don’t just “wing it.” If you fail to plan—then plan to fail. 2) Lack Of Competing In The Box Every pitch is a battle. Fighting off tough pitches. Refusing to get beat. Making the pitcher earn every out. Competing in the box isn’t about the “result”—a hitter can go 0-4, but have four quality at bats. Competing in the box is about your approach, focus, and effort every single pitch. Yes, swing operation and talent matters, however a “plan” and a “competitive” mindset in the box separate good hitters from the rest. Never forget . . Success is never owned. It is only rented, and the rent is due everyday!

Pete Alonso's home run, as called by @Mets radio broadcaster Howie Rose 🐻‍❄️

Focusing on what you can control is not about having power over what’s outside of you, but mastering what’s inside of you. You unlock freedom and resilience amid chaos when you realize that your perspective, decisions, and actions are always within your control.

Darius Leonard was released from the Colts earlier today He’s still passing out turkeys to people in Indy before Thanksgiving. Class act.

I actually want to rip my hair out whenever Mets fans say Lindor is overpaid. Since his extension began he’s been: Available: 278 of 281 games A superstar: 4th in War in this span And has a great work ethic and is clearly happy to be a Met. What more do you want out of the face of your franchise?
