Freddie Freeman does two things young hitters don't.

No one has found the number in the box so far What number do you see? LEVEL- VERY HARD WINNER takes $3000 ends in 24 hours

【近距離から投げる目慣らしは普段からやる意味がある？】 横浜高校の速球対策として話題になった、近い距離からボールを投げてもらう「目慣らし」 これは試合前だけではなく、普段の練習に入れる意味もあります。 近距離から投げると、ボールが打者まで届く時間が短くなります。 すると脳は、いつもより早くボールの速さや方向を判断しなければなりません。 まず働くのが視覚野です。 ここでボールの動きや速さを処理します。 さらに脳は、ボールを最後まで見てから振るのではなく、 「この軌道なら、このあたりに来る」 と先回りして予測しています。 速い球ほど、この予測が重要になります。 そして小脳では、自分が予測したタイミングと、実際にボールが来たタイミングのズレを修正しています。 近距離から投げてもらうと、普段より早くボールが来るので、 「もう来た」 という予測誤差が起こります。 このズレを何度も経験すると、脳は少しずつ速いタイミングに対応するように調整していきます。 だから普段から取り入れる意味があります。 大事なのは、単純に速球に慣れることではありません。 短い時間の中でボールを判断し、予測し、スイングを始めるという一連の処理を繰り返すことに意味があります。 特に、普段130km/h前後の投手としか対戦していない選手が、いきなり150km/hの投手と対戦すると、脳にとっては経験したことのない時間感覚になります。 その差を日頃から小さくしておくことは、高速投手への対応という意味でメリットがあります。 ただし、近距離投球ばかりやるのはおすすめできません。 実際の試合とはボールの軌道や距離が違うため、近距離だけに慣れると、本番のタイミングがずれる可能性があります。 普段の練習では、近距離で数球打ったあとに通常距離へ戻す。 この使い方がいいと思います。 近距離で脳に速い時間感覚を経験させて、通常距離で実際の打撃に合わせる。 つまり近距離投球は、試合直前の「目慣らし」だけではありません。 普段から使えば、速い球に対する脳の予測やタイミング調整を鍛える練習にもなります。 ただ速い球を見る練習ではなく、「速い世界で判断する脳」を作る練習と考えると分かりやすいです。

Elite pop times aren’t built on arm strength. They’re won before the ball ever hits the pocket. If you catch the ball first and then try to turn your lower half, you’re already giving away 0.15 to 0.20 seconds. Starting from a dead stop kills your exchange. How the hips actually drive the throw: 1-Shift before the catch On a steal read, shift your weight into the drive foot while the pitch is still in flight. Breaking static weight early means your hips don't have to accelerate from zero after contact. 2-Hips steer the line Your pelvis is the steering wheel. If your hips rotate directly toward second base, your shoulders and feet follow cleanly. If they lag, you drift into the batter’s box, stand straight up, and push the throw off-target. 3-Build the rubber band Let the hips open while your torso and front shoulder stay closed. That hip-shoulder separation creates elastic tension, letting your arm whip through with more velo and far less stress on the elbow. 4-Exchange in motion When your lower half is already driving through the throw, the ball-to-hand transfer happens out front in transit—not trapped deep against your chest. Clean direction + early hip drive = outs at the bag. Save this for your next throwing session.

Give Chappo 600 abs. He will hit 30+ easily.

The sequence, and movements haven't changed. Barrel must go from more vertical to more horizontal, but there's still hip hinge and tilt throughout. NO level shoulders, NO hitting the top of the ball.

Elly De La Cruz Swing Breakdown 457 ft. 💣 out of the stadium • Load early • Get to your spot to swing from on time • Back shoulder under the front shoulder

This is why I like the Step-Back Drill for hitters who need to feel a better load. As he steps back, watch what happens to the front hip. He gets a better load into the back side without just pushing his body forward. Then from that position, he can unwind into the swing instead of pushing through the ball. That’s the goal. A better load. A cleaner unwind. Less push. Try it. It may help. If it doesn’t, don’t use it. If you don’t like it… you don’t have to comment. 😂 But if you love it, let me know. Train with an expert. Not an influencer.

【回転運動の始まり～インパクト迄は上半身とバットは90°】 肩肘手首、沢山の関節を操作しながら90°を作るのは結構大変 更に身体を倒せない選手はバットの軌道に身体が追い付かずずれてしまう そんな時はバットを胸で抱えてスイング 上半身とバットが90°で固定されているのでバットの動きに上半身がついていき自然と胸椎も使われる 上半身が倒れた時の視界も覚えることが出来る

Baseball has a development problem. Fall comes and players either: ⚾ Play game after game 🏈 Move to another sport 🏋️ Try to bulk up in the gym All can have value. But baseball-specific movement can get lost. Develop the athlete First. Maintain the baseball mover.

Dude hit a 450ft walk off homer and admired it a bit before starting his trot(with good reason). But because college baseball has strict rules when it comes to celebrating, the umpire told him to knock it off and start his trot. I love baseball so much but no other sport have so many stupid rules. Like it wasn’t even excessive

So many hitters feel like they need to wrap the bat around their head to generate power. This creates a path that is across. The bat needs space to create a clean path. A good cue I give guys is keep the knob at the catchers feet!

So many people look at the best 12 year old player and assume he'll become the best 18 year old player. It rarely works that way. Players mature at different times. They get stronger at different times. They develop confidence, discipline, and work habits at different times. One thing I've noticed over my playing and coaching career is that many of the best players at 12 are simply the most physically mature. And many of the best players at 18 weren't the stars at 12. Some of the best players I've coached were undersized when they were young. They couldn't rely on size and strength, so they learned to build elite skills. They learned how to compete. They learned how to think the game. Then their bodies finally caught up. On the flip side, I've seen plenty of early stars stop improving because success came easy. They relied on being bigger and stronger than everyone else instead of continuing to develop their skills. Physical advantages eventually even out. Skill, work ethic, and consistency don't.

Kerry. Making sure he’s ’ready at release’ (on deck v Sonny Gray) by actually timing and swinging at release

Why would a Division 1 baseball program train their pitchers like this? It’s called Savage Power: 8-12 seconds of fast, unpredictable work followed by a 20-second reload. The goal is to teach athletes to remove slack, stabilize key positions, and produce speed and power under pressure. Not to mention it also mirrors the rhythm of the pitch clock. Empty the tank. Reload. Be ready to deliver again.

We MUST get REARWARD on the HIGH PITCH… It’s the ONLY way to create space behind the ball in order to unfold correctly and hit the ball with TRUE backspin This is what UNFOLDING to the ball looks like…MATCH VIDEO MATCH VIDEO MATCH VIDEO #theblueprint
