This is the difference between turning the barrel and pushing the barrel. Watch Carpenter’s hands. He’s not using his arms to shove the barrel forward toward the ball. The hands turn the barrel rearward, the barrel gets working deep, and the body carries it through the zone. Hands turn. Body turns. Barrel goes. The less the arms have to manufacture the swing, the quicker and tighter the barrel can work. #Hitting #Baseball #MLB #HittingMechanics #BaseballTraining

John Calipari during Arkansas’ practice: “If you’re not a dog on this team, you won’t play. I feel bad for you; no one got promised anything. I’m playing the dogs, because if I put a bunch of dogs out there, we’re not losing.” (🎥 @RazorbackMBB) | #WPS

Same drill. Same body. 17 MPH difference. 🔥 The top pitcher throws 95. The bottom throws 78. Watch why 👀 ❌ Bottom: his lift leg flies open early — he rotates too soon and his front side collapses. All that power leaks out. ✅ Top: he stays closed, then braces and EXTENDS his landing leg straight through release. That's where 95 comes from. This is the difference between getting recruited… and getting overlooked. Same arm. Same body. Different mechanics. Want to know which one you are — and where you actually project (D1, the draft, or the bigs)? 👉 Get your free breakdown: topvelocity.org/recruitiq Or comment "RECRUITIQ" and I'll DM you the link.

Pitchers: • Be careful of falling into patterns with pitch selection. • Command the inside part of the plate. • Goal = Be able to throw all your pitches in any count to any location. • Always look at pitch execution before second guessing pitch selection. • Develop a bullpen routine that gives attention to every pitch type and location you want to be able to execute in a game. • Become an expert at controlling the running game. • BACK UP BASES!! • Thank and respect your catchers. • Take care of your arm and body. • Study throwing/pitching mechanics. • If your team isn’t providing time to throw weekly bullpens, get it done on your own time. NO EXCUSES! • Play catch with a purpose. • Be the best at PFP. • Pick your teammates up when they make mistakes. • Goal = NO WALKS! • Attack the zone and make them earn their way on base. • Hitting is hard, stop thinking they will hit every mistake you make. Challenge them! • Be the mentally toughest most prepared player on the field.

KISS Principles for High School Pitchers! 1. Shift mindset from getting hitters out, to letting them get themselves out. Attack, attack, attack. The game is on your side 2. Don't overcomplicate your delivery. Be athletic, have some rhythm and fluidity, repeat your separation, stay back over the rubber, stay closed, and really finish. 3. Fuck the 3rd and 4th pitch if you can't command two. I'm sorry. You don't get to learn calculus until you've mastered algebra. Also, if you can't get high school hitters out with 2 pitches, you aren't very good. 4. Best pitch in baseball is a well located fastball. Learn to throw a FB low and away to your glove side in your sleep. 5. Create a routine. You should do the same thing every pitch. You should have a reset. You should use a deep breath. 6. Play high quality catch. I love lots of different throwing drills, but the best drill is simply coming set just like in a game, and delivering the baseball to a spot. 7. It's you versus you. Win The Battle Within!! It's lonely on the hill. No one is coming to save you. Embrace that. Love it. Be a bulldog; a warrior - whatever you want to be. No excuses. Control what you can control - and we always have control of: our attitude, our mound presence, our body language, our tempo, our thoughts: THIS PITCH.
