Jordan Thatcher showing off her gap to gap power this week!!

Jordan and I have been working on -
• Controlled load/stride
• Driving into a stiff front side
• Creating separation

Seeing all of these areas improve, not only has her power gone 🆙📈, but her pitch recognition has increased significantly. 💪🏻

Night 1 with Western Illinois commit, Steven Walsh. Working outer 3rd and behind the baseball this evening.

Steven has a ton of raw power, our focus is to keep him in hip hinge when he loads and drives to avoid cutting off the baseball. This will free up the rest of the plate + help with off-speed recognition.

Second swing is a little “pushy” but 3rd swing is GOOD MONEY. S/o to , I’m hooked on money or good money terminology 😂

Great session with !! 🔥🔥

Today was our first day working on getting down early/feeling separation and tension.

October/November is a great time to reset, establish your foundation, and work from the ground up.

Last night’s 15u Westfield defensive work!!

Video #1 is strictly working backhand for the drill, right to left weight transfer

Video #2 working right to left around the orange cone into 2 shuffles for the drill. Should be staying low in shuffles/minimal head movement.

These guys have been busting it and improving a ton after only 2 nights in!!
