Parents There are HS school coaches out there doing things behind the scenes to help your son's, more than you know. Get to know them if you can. Have had some great talks the past few days with some. They truly care about your kids. It isn't always what you think it is.

Needs to be said- It is incredibly hard to PLAY any level of college baseball. 5% may get on a roster, 1% actually play. Programs folding, covid year log jam, conferences not playing. If coaches from any school are calling you its a blessing.

Saw two kids today (Sunday) at 8am hitting off a tee at home plate. Wood bats. No parents around. 2 bicycles behind the backstop. All dirt city park. Helping each other out. Seemed to have a plan. All balls were in CF. I'm rooting for those kids. That's is where it all starts.

Aspiring ballplayers: stopping your weight training during the season will cause timing issues. Performance will suffer. Injury risk goes up. You must prioritize your routine. Strength has to be part of it. Players who know this have a huge advantage.

I have about as good a hitting coach as you can find. Our Iron Mike is supercharged to throw 85 mph from 54 ft (back plate) & can simulate 92 mph (front plate). He's also elevated to create the fastball plane of a 6'2 pitcher on a regulation mound. No substitute for experience.

It's not who you go to weekly (though it definitely can help), but what you do daily that makes the difference. Information without adaptation will only allow you to understand why you fail, but you physically won't be ready to succeed without the vital experience of reps.

This is the time of the year when hitters stop using the T, doing flips the right way, & don't hit off the machine anymore- because they got a few hits, or they squared up a few balls going live. Establishing a routine is how u stay good in this game. Don't stop. 1% every day

Want 2 have "bad hitting mechanics"? Load late & fast. Good hitters get 2 a good hitting position earlier & more often than bad hitters. Good hitters see the ⚾️ longer than bad hitters. Timing is everything. Also, unless the pitcher has the yips taking Ks is a bad strategy.

I feel for the guys who take the field ill prepared. That look of "uh-oh I'm not ready" is as helpless as you can get. Throwing strikes, putting the ball in play, securing the ball on defense, and throwing accurately to bases, are part of a daily routine to be a good player.

Learning how to foul off pitches in the "river" or 50/50 zone (space between plate and box) will make you much more valuable as a hitter. Being a tough out increases value in a hitter that doesn't necessarily come out in stats. Scouts see it.

Daily routine hack: Get up & lift in the morning before school. Yes, even on game day. Hitting requires a certain amount of strength & muscular tension to maintain timing. The weaker you get, the more loose & slow you become. This creates timing issues- often misunderstood.

T work is not hitting. Flips are not hitting. Even BP is not hitting. They are warm ups & drills. Machine BP above bat speed & Live is hitting. It's the proving ground for your drills. Hitters must consistently square up FBs that are faster than bat speed. Only 1 way to test it.

What a bad approach looks like: Take a fastball out over the plate for strike 1. Take a hanging curveball for strike 2. Swing at a CB/CH in the dirt for strike 3. We've all done it. Aggressive early Big part of the field See ball longer by loading earlier

Timing in hitting is most often thought of when we get our front foot down. This is only 1 part of it. Some hitters take much longer to get the bat moving, when they decide to swing. Also referred to as lag time or take up. Removing as much of that slack is optimal for timing.

Cheap way to give yourself a chance to be good at baseball: 3 build up 80s & 2 all out 60s 15 min throw/ long toss Tee series that covers high/low strike & keeping your hands close to your body & your shoulders square to ball. 30-45 min lift (front/back of body split)

Had a player tell me "I hit so much better on days that I lift". If done right, an in season lifting program can keep you strong and out of slumps. Seems like guys start struggling a couple of weeks after they quit lifting. When your body atrophies, your timing is going change.

Hitters often make the mistake of expecting star player treatment. If your ABs are non-competitive, coaches will have a short leash & get someone else in lineup. The excuse of I need more ABs to get going is luxury most hitters haven't earned. Be prepared to produce. Earn trust.

Pitcher's priorities: Location- because good hitters will hit Velo out over the plate. Movement- getting the ball to move in the last 17 feet of flight creates intermediate to poor contact. Velocity- it is important, but without the first two you're just a thrower.

One thing forgotten about tee work is its strength and conditioning component. Its 25-30 reps you can get daily without rush and in every part of the K zone. The weight room is just as important, but its really hard to develop speed and power without hitting the ball.

Fun fact: We sign Dominican players at 15 & 1/2, put them in an academy to develop & perform at a pro level. They swing wood, lift weights, & are learning advanced actions. Pitchers are 88-98+ mph. Hitters hit everyday, sometimes twice. Coordinators cycle in weekly to instruct.

Parents: On your next long drive hit play on this. A big thank you to @EricCressey for putting this out.

An important message from @Hobbs_38 for the parents who are writing college recruiting emails on behalf of their kids (spoiler alert: the coaches can tell):

1) "Get a good pitch to hit" How do you do this? There is a lot more to this question that hitters should ask themselves and seek out in training. Not that simple. Pitchers also make a living by not giving you one of these. Maybe learn to drive all strikes and 50/50's?

There is no substitute for experience. Barrel control, Strike Zone control, Fielding cleanly. If you are going more than a day without doing these skills, you will lose feel. This is what separates the players from the posers.

Common progression I've seen pro hitters use while hitting off the machine. Barrel Body Feet Effort Meaning, they don't use any until they find the previous aspect. Unfortunately, not very many hitters are told this. Routine is your diagnostics.
