This is exactly what I teach: I’m a hitting coach, not a swing coach.
A good-looking swing in a cage is one thing. Adjusting to the count, the situation and the pitch in front of you—that’s hitting.
Always good to see people sharing the same message.

You can feel momentum and confidence, and the best coaches know when to let it ride or make a change.
In today's game, if a hitter is on a hot streak, he may find himself on the bench because a computer doesn't like the matchup with that pitcher on that particular night.
I've seen it happen so many times in recent years.
What the analysts don't take into consideration is that a player who's on a "heater" feels they can hit anyone... and I mean ANYONE they put on the mound.

HITTING COACHES:
Sometimes the best thing you can do for a struggling hitter is give them a day or two away from hitting.
Free the mind.
Create some pause.
Hitters aren’t naturally good at slowing down.
Sometimes, helping them get back on track means protecting them from themselves.

Problems don’t ask for permission. They just show up.
In the cage.
In the clubhouse.
At home.
In your head.
The question isn’t whether adversity is coming.
It’s whether you’ve trained yourself to respond instead of react to it.
Composure is a skill. Perspective is a superpower. And toughness is built in the moments nobody applauds.
The best players and coaches aren’t problem-free.
They just don’t let problems dictate their direction.

YOUNG PLAYERS: You don't know how much the little things stand out.
The way you...
⚾️ Wear your uniform
⚾️ Hustle on and off the field
⚾️ Run out every ball
⚾️ Back up bases
⚾️ Look a coach in the eye
⚾️ Respond to failure
⚾️ Swing at strikes & take balls
⚾️ Talk to umpires
⚾️ Treat your mom/dad/family
Just to name a few.
Those who get paid to notice things, don't miss anything.
Somebody is always watching 👀

Pride is the first chapter in the book of failure.
Humility is the first chapter in the book of success.
