Mark my words. Watch how many bunting stations there are in Spring Training next year…

If your kid’s coach is not teaching them how to bunt, ask the coach “why?” If he says, “It’s a dead out,” FIND THE EXIT If he says, “Well, the data says…” FIND THE EXIT If he says, “It takes away the big inning,” FIND THE EXIT Refusing to teach the skill of bunting leaves hitters one dimensional, increasingly self outcome oriented, and limited in approach during slumps or at bats against dominant pitching. Bunting increases hand eye coordination, plate/zone awareness, athleticism, and provides immediate barrel feedback. It is a tool that can disrupt pitcher timing/flow/comfort, and defensive alignments which creates gaps and opportunities for more base hits. It gives you an offensive outlet if you’re being overpowered. FIND A COACH WHO TEACHES EVERYTHING! DON’T LIMIT YOUR KIDS’ OFFENSIVE DEVELOPMENT! #BuntLife

Tyler Walls with textbook push bunt. He shuffles up in the box to create a wider lane to bunt(more fair territory ) & then drop steps before stepping towards the second baseman. The goal is to firmly bunt the ball past the LHP. It’s basically a running sac bunt. Herrin was not going to beat him to the base. His only option was to reach out & tag him from behind.

Pat Murphy says becoming a father completely changed the way he coached, and now every player he views and coaches as somebody else’s son “It’s got to be real, man. You can’t just say it. You’ve got to live it. When it’s about your kid, when you’re raising kids by yourself, you’re clueless, man. You don’t know what you’re doing. I don’t know what I’m doing. I didn’t have that kind of, my parents were way older than me, so I don’t know how to parent. I don’t know what I’m doing, but it’s really important to me.” “And I started thinking about it like, every kid I coach is somebody’s Kai Joseph. You know what I mean? Every kid I coach, they have parents who love their kid the way I love my kid.” “Wow, I’ve got to be a little mindful how I treat these guys. I’ve got to be a little mindful about, like, it’s my job.” “This profession isn’t about the wins and losses. This profession is about, how do I impact this person?

If your HS coach(es) put on organized workouts in the offseason and you are not playing another sport…. I encourage you to take advantage of this quality FREE training/practice. You don’t have to pay for training for it to be of value. If you take lessons, plan those for a time when you are not at your HS training. Then you get a double bonus. It should not be one or the other. Of course I’m talking about players who love the game and are hungry to get better. *** Footnote: not everyone is blessed to have quality coaches who give up their time in the off season to help other. But if you do, take advantage of it and thank them.

Some coaches don’t realize that they’re the problem. A player loses their love for the game, starts thinking about quitting. Then a new coach, a new culture & the spark returns. They didn’t change, but their environment did. Coaches, you can be the reason they quit or love again.

Hopefully MLB owners are figuring out what separates the Brewers. Culture. and The willingness to play a brand of baseball that does not create superstars. Winning baseball requires players to do things that help the team more than themselves at times. Players have to be willing to take a lot of check downs for the team.
Jeff Janssen@janssenleaderSep 25
Earlier in the season, Brewer manager Pat Murphy pulled rookie Cooper Pratt for not fully running out a hit. Tonight, Murph pulled veteran William Contreras for not running out a ball to first. The Brewers win because the Standard is the Standard for rookies and vets. @Brewers

The clubhouse matters. Players do not have to be best friends. But players have to respect each other enough to hold each other accountable. The best organizations in baseball are not the best because of super duper player development. They are the best because of dynamic accountability to inconvenient and strict standards.

Coaching. It's impossible to be impactful as an assistant coach if you're not loyal to the head coach.

Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below. Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.” Make the pitcher work. We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best. A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure. A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout. #DoingDirtWork

As an AD, I constantly remind our athletes that commitment is being someone your teammates can count on whether you play a lot or a little. It is showing up when it is not convenient and choosing your team over yourself. Everyone wants to win. Commitment is doing what it actually takes to win.

Winning becomes possible when nobody is obsessed with being the reason for it. No one fighting for the spotlight. No one worried about who gets mentioned. Just people locked in, doing their job, making the extra effort, and putting the team above themselves.

"Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life." The teachers and coaches that impact lives the most are the ones who pushed you beyond your comfort level. The real world is tough; our job is to make sure our players are equipped to handle it.
