Here are a couple formulas I (with MUCH help from Ai) have created to calculate power potential in baseball using basic stats. Which would you think works best? I need to actually gather some stats and try them all

#Raiders officially name Seahawks run game coordinator and senior offensive advisor Rick Dennison as their OL coach, succeeding a much maligned Brennan Carroll.
A 4-time Super Bowl champion in his 27-year NFL coaching career, Dennison was a senior offensive assistant with the Saints in 2024, when Klint Kubiak was OC. He was the OL coach and run game coordinator when Kubiak was in Minnesota in 2021. He was the OC in Denver under Gary Kubiak, Klint’s dad, from 2015-16.
Last season, he helped Seattle’s run game be among the best in the league, which produced a Super Bowl MVP in Kenneth Walker. He now reunites with Seattle’s OC Kubiak and QB coach Andrew Janocko (now Raiders OC) in Vegas.
Dennison also spent 9 seasons as an NFL player (1982–1990) with the Broncos. Now 67, he’s a veteran presence on Kubiak’s young new staff.

“Your identity is not in your job. Our identity is in Christ… I’m a child of God. Football is something that I do, but trying to be a good father, & be a faithful husband, is way more important than any of that”
- Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak
Kubiak also revealed he bought every player a Bible for Christmas 👏

Who is the greatest pitcher of all time?
Is it Nolan Ryan and his strikeout record? What about Bob Gibson, whose dominance literally caused MLB to lower the mound?
We did a deep dive on this question, and came up with our own criteria and rankings.
Comment who your 🐐 is.
At 30' long, this thing was a blast to build. Took a lot longer than expected but wanted to do it right!
Added eye screws to hook up @jaegersports and @CoreVeloBelt after this picture was taken.
Excited to keep seeing our guys get better every day.

#DiamondCards continue to see field & facility improvements. Our players & coaches are very thankful for the investments, support & belief our University, Fans & Donors continue to show. We promise to give 100% effort in continuing to strive for excellence to show our gratitude!
Reminder that even if you cannot make it to the gym or have someone to throw with, you can still get better by doing mental reps. Put yourself into those situations so that when they do come up in a game, you know how YOU handle it. You’ve already been there 100 times mentally.
Shadow work:
Doing a mental rehearsal can GREATLY impact your performance.
There are only so many throws you can make in a day.
Visualize yourself doing exactly what you want before it even happens.

I heard a great line this weekend from a friend who coaches college baseball, in regards to an interaction he had with one of his players, following his freshman year.
"It's amazing. None of the things that I thought mattered when I was in high school, are actually important."
That same sentiment was mirrored by a player I've worked with in the past who is in his freshman fall.
I'll tell you this too - at some point, I had that same revelation myself.
When people that I know watch young people play baseball, it's very rare that they are there looking for the same things that a young high school player is trying to achieve. The evaluator isn't looking for the player who gets three hits that day. Yeah sure it's nice if you do it, and then you can probably make a post about it on social media, and it certainly doesn't hurt your cause to get hits, but let's be clear here, it's generally the last thing that the person watching you cares about.
That evaluator is looking for someone who is in control.
In control of their emotions.
In control of their timing.
In control of how they take balls between innings.
In control of their on deck routine.
In control of how they run on and off the field regardless of their last at bat.
In control of how they make an out.
Consistency comes from great habits. No one is saying it should be fun to make an out, or make an error out in the field. That's not it at all. It's the ability to overcome that moment that makes players special.
Everyone in the ballpark knows that you're frustrated when you make an out in a big situation. You don't need to stomp around the dugout and slam stuff to the ground to show everyone it bothered you.
If you want "real" baseball people to notice you, learn to take control of the things that you think no one is paying attention to. It will accomplish two things.
1. It'll help you perform better over time.
2. It will make you stand out like a sore thumb on the field, in the best way possible.

20 Tips for Coaching:
1. Be prepared to repeat yourself. Empathy towards their age, maturity level and aptitude is required.
2. Be an expert at communicating. No fluff. If we say it we BETTER follow through and when plans change there needs to be a clear reason as to why communicated.
3. Be the type of student we want them to be. There is always something to get better at. There are more ways to do it than what worked for us.
4. Team culture and atmosphere starts with us, the standards we set, what we allow and how we handle it when something happens that will affect that.
5. Be organized. Never show up without a plan. Be prepared for an audible at any point but never get caught not ready.
6. Lead by example. They are always watching. They will emulate our behavior.
7. If we want their trust we have to gain it. How we talk to them, how we talk with them, how we follow through and how we hold them all accountable, no matter who they are, who their parents are or how talented they are.
8. No standing around at practices. Find ways to keep everyone moving. No long lines in drills.
9. The game is relatable to life in many ways. Always be looking for ways to help them develop their character through it.
10. Never forget this is a game. They will only get to play it for a short period in their lives. We are here to teach it to them and help them enjoy it. Make it a memorable phase for them.
11. Coach confidence. If the goal is to get the most out of the players, they need to believe. Everything we do needs to be done with this in mind.
12. Get them talking. Hear their thoughts before we give ours. When they know they will be asked to speak we will see more focus and engagement.
13. TAKE NOTES! Keep a note pad during games/practice to jot down points to discuss. Don’t let those important moments slip through the cracks.
14. Make eye contact, take off your sunglasses. Make them take theirs off. Position yourself so their back is to the sun.
15. Pitchers and catchers need/deserve dedicated time each week for bullpens and dedicated time for catching fundamentals. NEVER IGNORE THEM!!
16. We never know what’s going on in their life. We get an opportunity to possibly be a bright light for them. This is MUCH bigger than the game.
17. Development is a process. The process requires patience and opportunity…And plenty of it.
18. Read your audience. Know when it’s time to move on. Once we lose their attention everything we want them to hear will go in one ear then out the other.
19. Be careful of getting caught up in the emotions of the moment. We need to remain calm and focused to make clear minded decisions.
20. It’s their game. Our playing days are long over. We are the lucky ones to get to be a part of their journey. Be grateful for it and be the best possible leader we can be FOR THEM.
