The biggest mistake I made as a hitter... I used to TAKE the first pitch fastball. I told myself I needed to get my timing. "See one first." "Time the pitcher." "Get comfortable." At the time, it sounded like a smart strategy. The problem? It wasn't strategy. It was fear. Fear of swinging and missing. Fear of making an out. Fear of looking stupid on the first pitch. But I disguised it as "getting my timing." What changed everything was a hitting journal. Throughout pro ball, I tracked everything. Every pitch I saw. Every pitch I swung at. The count. Pitch location. What I was thinking. What I was feeling. After a full season, I sat down and started digging through the numbers. One stat jumped off the page. On 0-0 fastballs... I was hitting .367. Not only that, a huge percentage of my doubles, triples, and home runs came on that pitch. I couldn't believe it. The pitch I was letting go by was one of the best pitches I'd see all at-bat. It completely changed my perspective. That's when I learned a lesson I'll never forget: Don't confuse fear with strategy. A lot of hitters do it. They pass on good pitches because they're "getting their timing." They become passive because they're "being disciplined." They play careful because they're "trying not to do too much." Sometimes that's true. Sometimes it's fear wearing a different uniform. My journal exposed it immediately. From that day forward, I stopped trying to get comfortable. I started preparing to hit from pitch one. If you're someone that is unsure of swinging at the first pitch... Here's my "first pitch crusher plan" I'd Do Tonight to help you: 1. Front Toss (10 Swings) Treat every pitch like it's 0-0. Be ready to attack your pitch immediately. 2. Short Box (10 Swings) Every pitch starts 0-0. Compete from the first pitch instead of easing into the round. Short box is in between front toss & Batting Practice distance. If front toss is 10 feet away, and BP is 20 feet away, Short box is 15. What I like to do is sit on a bucket and throw from that distance. 3. Batting Practice (10 Swings) Look for a first-pitch fastball you can drive. Train yourself to be ready from pitch one. One thing I've learned from baseball: The best hitters don't wait to get comfortable. They prepare themselves to compete from the very first pitch.

Today there was an incredibly important Senate hearing on protecting women’s sports. Not one Democrat showed up. Do not call yourself a women’s-rights advocate if you refuse to show up when it matters most. America’s daughters are watching. They deserve leaders who will defend Title IX and fight for their future.

Getting close!

Best in the Biz.

We love it when a plan comes together 🤝 #LightItBlue | #BLB

AN NCAA SOFTBALL PLAYER JUST TOLD CONGRESS SHE LOST A STATE SEMIFINAL TO A BIOLOGICAL MALE ON THE MOUND. Kendall said her senior year of high school was supposed to celebrate women. Her team bled for that tournament with early mornings, late practices, and every sacrifice that comes with chasing a championship. Then they showed up and saw a man on the field. She still played because it was one of the last games with her sister. They lost. Nobody with a brain is shocked. Democrats call this a nonissue while girls sit in silence because adults scare them quiet. Kendall is done taking that. She is fighting for her little cousins so they never feel that same gut punch. Fairness is not hate. Letting males steal girls’ titles is the hate. Keep speaking. Do not stop until every state locks the gate.

Thank you for all you do Pat! Torero Legend.

Had a great weekend at the PG South Jupiter Qualifier going 3-6 with 2 home runs and 3 walks. @Performance_X2 @MattyHams @PrepBaseballLA @Tyler__Leary @AlexArmandPBR @PG_Uncommitted

You're damn right I did. And I will keep showing up until every girl in this state is guaranteed fairness on the field and privacy in the locker room. No exceptions. Their safety is a fundamental right, not an experiment in radical politics.

From being drafted 3rd overall in '23 to making his MLB debut, Max Clark has had lots of eyes on him as he has ascended through professional baseball 👀 The @Tigers 21-year-old joined #MLBCentral to discuss managing expectations and sharing a clubhouse with Justin Verlander.

The person who paused the meeting claims she is the president of the Chino Valley School Board.
