This random block receive drill can be done with a live arm or a programmable pitching machine. In general, we don’t do enough game like random game speed drill work with our players.
From last WBC. Ohtani throwing three differently shaped pitches to the same location at different speeds. Creates a multitude of timing & pitch identification problems for hitters, A big piece of the deception puzzle.
A blast from the past for you college baseball fans, especially UM baseball fans. Ron Fraser & Skip Bertman.
One example of a catcher’s transition move from knee down to an angled(Better alignment)up position to throw. It eliminates one move from the traditional two point stance by angling as he comes off his knee down stance.
Excellent take from Joe Bohringer’s book on leadership WINNING,Inc. “One of the most difficult & unfortunately most common leadership tasks is navigating change, especially the need to update a comfortable but broken status quo.”
Great explanation of the movement planes associated with the pitching delivery by Bruce Billings.
A case where base hit bunting or showing base hit bunt on occasion can positively affect future positioning in the hitter’s favor.
Pitchers & catchers listen to this & look at the movement of this pitch. Why are we so quick to throw out scuffed balls when the umpire or hitter doesn’t want you to change the ball. Learn how to manipulate balls with rough spots/scuffs on one side of the ball.
The best coaches & teachers continuously examine their processes & practices to maximize development/performance.This is an assessment tool(HITTING) from Rob Gray’s great book LEARNING TO OPTIMIZE MOVEMENT.
FROM ZACK SORENSON-BRAVES ML MENTAL PERFORMANCE/SKILLS COACH(ABCA TALK) 1) You are always 1 pitch away from being 1 pitch away. 2) You are never as far away from success as you think you are. 3) Fly above the storms. They will not go away. 4) Be extraordinary at the ordinary.
Same catcher with low % strike pitch called a strike & high % strike pitch called a ball. The big difference between the two is the hold timing. In not running situations, LET THE PITCH SIT. It’s relative to the umpire. Find the sweet spot.
OFF CENTER PULL DRILL The goal of this drill is to hit a line drive between the left fielder & the foul line that does not hook or have top spin. This shortens your swing arc & once you can do this, it creates a swing that works on pitches out over the plate & away.
