    The pitcher on relays

    Have the pitcher line up to cut the throw home for redirection. Let the catcher call when the ball gets cut or gets redirected, depending on whether the play can be made at home or not.

    Closed loop vs Open loop motor actions

    The closed-loop system is directly applicable to drills/training but is also a major part of your at-bat. I'm thinking the open loop almost needs a trigger to go directly to action. example... Dugout work (Pitcher tendencies) Pitch call to Pre pitch movements (including tells on grips) to...

    Closed loop vs Open loop motor actions

    I wanted to reach out to the forum to see if anyone is applying this type of process behind their swings. If so, how and why? I've recently heard about applying this to firearm and archery shooting and know it could be useful to batting, but haven't been able to put my finger on it.

    Team Merger

    Team Merger

    Each team has 1 A pitcher. That's why we were both B level teams, couldn't make it very deep on Sundays

    Team Merger

    Just looking for some experiences with joining two teams together. How'd it go? Is it worth the growing pains to skip out on looking for players?

    Responsibility of a coach when you see bad/different mechanics?

    I'm mostly in the camp of, if you have a private instructor and the parents are happy then leave it alone and there are multiple ways to skin a cat, but this particular player has no sequence at all and has issues with timing. I've suggested incorporating either a step or pre-load (small...

    Responsibility of a coach when you see bad/different mechanics?

    If a parent is paying a hitting instructor, is it a coach's responsibility to say those mechanics are a hindrance to their daughter's progression as a batter?

    How do you handle an umpire who disregards certain rules?

    Wrong. Again, I'm going to reiterate the reason for my post. How do coaches handle their message to their team when the players are frustrated with calls being made during the game? I made no mention of quick pitching or how they had an unfair advantage, in fact, went on to say it was a moot...
