Success leaves clues

⚾️ BO KNOWS ⚾️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bo Bichette might be one of the most dynamic players in baseball right now. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Training at a young age with his Dad - a former big leaguer - was a little different. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Take a look and see how it could apply to you. ⁣⁣

⚡️ RED OCTOBER ⚡️⁣
⁣
There might not have been a more offensive team than the Philadelphia Phillies last year.⁣
⁣
ESPN.com had a really good article with tremendous quotes including this one from Kyle Schwarber.⁣

⚾️ CONTROLLABLES ⚾️
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Baseball is a HARD GAME.

Hard enough before on field results are factored in.

When player’s focus on results and not handling their actual process to getting those results - problems arise.

⚡️ WHAT IS HITTING ⚡️⁣
⁣
The biggest difference in amateur and professional hitting?⁣
⁣
Constant Adjustments⁣
⁣
Rather than “see ball hit ball,” players have to be able to execute hitting the ball at different locations. ⁣
⁣
Take a look at what Trea Turner says.

⚡️ Judge on Hitting ⚡️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am always intrigued with how big league hitters put their focus on when hitting - especially in batting practice. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣ ▶️ The Process⁣ ⬅️⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Instead of worrying about WHAT is happening, put your energy on HOW it is happening. PROCESS vs RESULTS. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Take these three traits - effort, attitude, and technique - and make them be your focus.

❌❌ TWO STRIKES ❌❌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Adrian Beltre had an incredible career. And while his 3000 hits were amazing, to see that his career batting average was above the league average with two strikes is remarkable.⁣⁣

Was able to say I spent 8 years in the dugout with Coach. Taught me so much he probably doesn’t realize it.

Congratulations on becoming the all-time wins leader in Ivy League games. Dartmouth Baseball

⚾️ HITTING DESIGN ⚾️⁣
⁣
With all due respect to pitchers, hitting is much more difficult.⁣
⁣
There is no way to design a swing like a pitch or increase bat rotation etc.⁣
⁣
Take a look at what Tigers manager AJ Hinch had to say earlier this year.⁣

⚡️ Visualize the good swing you will put on the ball.
⚡️ Visualize making a pitch to a specific spot.
⚡️Expect and visualize yourself succeeding.

⚡️ PRACTICE CONFLICT ⚡️
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Have you ever seen a player struggle during practice?

As a big fan of #seattlemariners assistant GM Andy McKay Andy McKay , this quote on practice success or lack there of hit home for me.
⁣
Embrace the challenge practice presents.

🏃‍♂️ BASE-RUNNING @ 1B 🏃‍♂️⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Players have always been taught when they get to first base to get their signs but what are some other factors they should consider?⁣
⁣
Here is a list to think about. ⁣
