This is the way that MLB should lean into marketing. A pitcher on the mound is going to try and throw the ball as hard as he can past you. A hitter is going to step in the box and swing to hit the ball as far as possible. Who's going to win?

So driveline says you absolutely need bat speed. 108 says too much bat speed means you don’t have as much time in the hitting zone. 108 says force production is key. Latta says no shoulders and stay on a line - ignore bat speed. Choose your hitting philosophy wisely.

For reference, when I started January 2016 Driveline had 8 employees. 8 -> 51 in three years and six months time. Which doesn't include 10ish employees who worked at Driveline and left for pro ball jobs as coaches/analysts

Pretty simple stuff. Shouldn’t be controversial (though sometimes might be on here) but the 🔑 is having a system to prioritize and improve them. Baseball’s constraints can lead to some very straightforward directions on what players need to work on.

Random thoughts from this cool old video of Maddux - that’s a big looping curve lol - has a more pronounced hitch with his elbow really low at foot strike - he’s throwing with some oomph? Got some effort behind it - 2seam/CH don’t have the depth…yet
