Yes we have 10 💣s in 3 games. Yes we went back-to-back-to-back today. But there’s something really sweet about a backside line drive with 2 strikes. Love the way our hitters have bought into our approach.
We see you Coach Eversole!
.@lakeeriebase and No.11 UNCP split today's doubleheader in Cary, NC, but Lake Erie with a big upset win to start their 2025 campaign.
Congrats to Mike Eversole on his first win as the Head Coach.

Brandon Metivier gave up one hit and K'd 3 in his 2.1 IP
Israel Espinosa drove in both of the Storm's runs.

Hitters need to know why they’re making outs. The game is a different task than the training environment.
Priorities:
Approach
Timing
Swing
They’re all tied together and they all matter…
If you’re a Trackman or Yakker school (or you’re not), and you want customizable postgame feedback for your hitters and pitchers in their inbox by the end of your postgame meeting, shoot us a DM. We’d love to help you out!
We will be at @ABCA1945 this weekend (no booth). DM us if you’d like to setup a meeting!
Hitter misses under the slider and adjusts too much and misses over. Re-adjusts and hits 💣. Awareness of vertical barrel accuracy is crucial for success. The choke-up definitely helped too.
NAIA Career HR record holder took responsibility for his approach by diving into his data… simple question he asked himself: “what pitches can I do damage with?”

I worked with a hitter today...
He changed his plan mid-AB
Because the umpire called strike 1 on a pitch nowhere near the plate.
Here's what I told him:
This is an outstanding approach-oriented 🧵 from @JWonCATCHING
Congratulations to @AlabamaSB @RyanIamurri32 @UACoachMurphy! Headed to OK City for the @NCAASoftball World Series!

🚨 Derek Jeter - Hitting Approach
• Looking for a Fastball - down the middle
• Trying to hit everything to right-center
• This approach gives you more time to react & adjust
⭐️ By letting the ball travel farther, he was able to do more damage on off-speed pitches and keep them fair more often.

I really wish that every committed baseball player across the country would band together and commit to playing Legion ball after they commit. Personally I think it would be so much better for everyone involved. The level of Legion ball would climb so committed guys would still be playing against other good players. A ton of families out there would save thousands. And then on the travel circuit, it would literally be all uncommitted players playing against one another, which would make college recruiters' jobs much easier.

How you swing impacts how you hunt pitches.
Where are you letting the ball get to?
How do you approach different shapes?
How do you want to see the ball out of the pitcher's hand?
How are you using the angles the pitcher is providing?

“His #PitchRecognition is impressive,” Hoerner said. “A lot of those at-bats that he’s homered in, there’s been a take that’s usually an out for anyone else. I feel like he can match up with any pitcher. His strike zone awareness is really impressive.” goo.gl/alerts/C5tzNk
Vertical barrel accuracy isn’t talked about enough. We’ve created a metric for it. It’s something that big leaguers understand pitch to pitch. But it’s not even talked about at most levels. It’s massively important for hitters to make mid-AB adjustments. GOLD👇
“Sometimes the thought that we have as a hitter is different from the reality of how our body thinks to do something…There are times when we do high spin fastballs in here with players, where they’re swinging and missing. And then I say on the next one, I want you to try and swing and miss above the ball. And then what do you think happens on the next one? They hit it”🧠🤯
Listen to Eugene talk about why a lot of players talk about swinging down especially on high ride fastballs and how the thought doesn’t mean it’s exactly how their body is going to move🗣️
