Source: The Astros are calling up prospect OF/1B Joey Loperfido to join team in Houston. He hit his 13th Minor League homer of the season today.

Cruz with three hits last night! Cleaned up his direction, is allowing time to happen, and is starting to smash baseballs!!!

I’ll say it…. Espada isn’t ready to manage. The team wasn’t ready coming out of Spring Training and Dana wasn’t ready either. No one is doing less with more talent

Who needs Fungo Man when you have Jose Abreu!

Wonder if we have considered hitting Abreu 10th?

This angle of Luis Arraez hitting is incredible. The fact that he even put this ball into play is impressive. Shows how short and connected he is. Maybe there is something to training the inner lane to keep you inside and connected throughout your swing.

Hunt the fastball, if you recognize off speed just keep going. The ball will fly

Success in baseball can be broken down to one simple idea:

“Kill, or be Killed”

Here’s how to become an Apex Predator on the field:

Yordan Alvarez will hit his 1st HR of the season tonight.

LOPERFIDO AGAIN!!

Joey Loperfido 2 run HR! His 2nd HR of the game and 3rd HR this season! #Astros

Joey Loperfido getting the hype train started early. HR in his first game of 2024

Letting the pitch run into our move vs. taking our move to the ball.

“I feel like I can wait on fastballs and just catch them”

Too many hitters go on a collision course to “beat the fastball to the spot” instead of trusting the move and finding control to stay behind the ball📝

Dude grinds. Proud of Blaine Birkelbach he’s disciplined, works hard and he’s hungry. I’m still enjoying our daily cage work. He’s made some nice adjustments recently

Had a great time competing today. Thank you Coach P learned a lot today. Spring ball right around the corner! Coach Gotte Lawson Hartwick B Jason Hinkelman Drew Christ

Remember former Vanderbilt Baseball speedster Enrique Bradfield Jr.?

Bunted a lot and stole a ton of bags in college

Guess what?
STILL DOING IT IN THE PROS!

SPEED WILL ALWAYS TRANSFER

Bregman - Loading to unload 🔑

• I’ve been using Bregman 2024 off-season videos for many swing comparisons when working with hitters..

• Works so hard, watching video on himself and getting into incredible positions
