• Using pocket radars to give immediate feedback for a kid to swing with a content
• Spray charts for opposing players
• Fastball taken for a strike
  • Can’t take the best pitch of our at bat
  • Especially in “GO” counts
  • Guys who take more fastballs in counts tend to be weaker hitter

• Each conversation is different based on the player
• Getting kids prepared for college

• Picks - verbals and non verbals around
• As many touches as possible in a short amount of time
  • 4 man fungo,

• Lineups are defensively based
• Offensively changed our philosophy based on how we swing it
• If the players know you genuinely care about them you can ask the world of them
  • We are doing this because I do not want the seniors to cry at the end of the year
• If I won’t, they don’t! If I go to everything they know I am bought in.
• Make it feel big league, as good as it can!
