Announcement 🚨🚨🚨
Today we are relaunching Pelotero around a simple mission - to transform the future of player development.
Why?
Because players are craving a level of personalization that coaches can’t possibly deliver – they don’t have the technology, knowledge, or time
Excited to get back to Lake Charles for
@ftrstarsseries
this week. Tons of talent at last week’s Pre-Draft and ‘23 Combine.
When chopping video on 200+ hitters, patterns stand out. One thing is for sure: Don’t be a stranger to the weight room.
Be on time twice!
@TewksHitting
likes to say you need to be on time to recognize the ball coming out of the pitcher’s hand & then with the collision of the ball and the bat.
When you hit today experiment with being early to release point & see what happens. Feel free to tag us.
Beta testing has begun. We have partnered with
@proplayai
to turn your iPhone into a powerful player development tool.
Soon, you'll be able to convert your videos not just into data, but into custom hitting programs.

Thread: This weekend, we attended the Underclass Elite event hosted by New Balance Future Star Series (
@ftrstarsseries
) in Frisco, TX.
During the games, we captured some high speed video of pitchers so we could demonstrate and discuss release points.
Would you panic if you went 0-4 with for Ks? (Do you think Vladdy did?)
Problems happen when you think you aren't getting hits for the wrong reasons. Some days you just don't get much to hit and you need a short memory.

As a hitter looking at Dustin May’s 99mph 2 seam, how long does it look like a strike?
Let’s hear what our cofounders

@CC20rake
think about this Demon pitch shared by
@PitchingNinja
.
"The swing that creates the line drives is the swing that drives the ball and creates a home run. I don't know where that got lost in translation." ~
@CC20rake
Development is not linear. It’s supposed to be long. It’s supposed to be hard. Embrace the work, the failures, the successes, the process...all of it.
@qualityatbats
Everyone has two versions of themselves. The one that’s confident and awesome and the non-confident one that sucks. Get the right guy playing every day! “If your compete level is ever below your ability, you’re underachieving.”

There is no question that
@CC20rake
delivers with this
#hittingtwitter
tip. This was recorded during a recent session with a hitter. Have you ever heard this tip before?
"If we can gather early... we can learn how to load at different tempos, how to stretch at different tempos. That's what creates adjustability."
💰💰💰 from
@CC20rake
during today's webinar.
Since the beginning of time, no baseball player has ever said "I want to hit the ball softer." I don't think anyone would argue that hitting the ball harder is bad. The problem is, that if that's all we train for, it can lead us down some bad rabbit holes...
Can’t wait for The Game from
@thefarmsystem
to kick off. Really excited to learn more about all the people working hard to grow the game. Proud to have Pelotero be a part of it!

In order to determine what drill is the right dril for each athlete you really need to understand the athlete’s swing profile.
Our goal is to help coaches make individualizing player’s development way easier. We can’t wait to show you. Stop treating every body like everybody.
The “perfect play!” Did you miss this breakdown during Episode 1 of the Pelotero Pickle?

Why do you think we call it “Pickle?”
This is from almost 10 years ago before Chris ever played in the big leagues. The goal has changed since then but this mindset remains the foundation of everything we do
We need to get back to basics with hitters. No matter how much time we spend working on their mechanics it doesn’t mean anything if they can’t figure out how to square up a baseball. ~

You know which athlete’s make it into the lineup? Which ones are given the ball on the mound. The one that coach knows will go out & compete no matter how they feel or what stuff they have.
They will compete no matter what! Will you?
What is Pelotero + HitTrax?
- Assessments
- Custom, Data-Driven Programs for Hitters
- Immediate, Live Feedback On Drills
You want...
Pitch selection?
No empty swings?
Quick adjustments?
Increased awareness?
Programs that get harder as you get better?
We got that.
2023 MLB Data by Count. In a very simple outlook, 2 strike counts control the game.
OPS by # of Strikes:
0 Strikes 1.0140
1 Strike 0.950
0 Strikes 0.523
All four of these jumps occurred at different points in the day yesterday & today
4 different athletes, 4 different jumps, all w/ different purposes based on their needs
We have to have a process to direct our programming decisions
THAT is how we become optimal
Not all

are the same. Have you read
@jareddiamond
“Swing Kings?” Maybe we need to find a “balance” to address what
@markdero7
is talking about when coaching kids. You need to translate the info for who is listening.
Just one of our “Be a Hitter Tracks.”

Obsession with Mechanics Isn't Creating Better Hitters
- The mechanics "revolution"
- What are "proper mechanics"?
- Where mechanics fit in the hitting puzzle
- How to build proper mechanics through hitting principles

Let's take a look at some of the swing characteristics that we analyze and what they might mean for your swing!
