Rich, I'm not understanding how the "early and slow" was not successful. I understand a hitter's resistance to starting earlier and slower against higher pitch speeds, but once I get a hitter to truly buy in, they find it to be the holy grail to hitting. The only time it doesn't work is when a hitter is not in sequence. If you share the video then I'll comment.
Was traveling for business today, glad to see this drew some interest. FFS, I don't think early and slow is enough. Nor do I necessarily think "sequence" is enough. I just don't. There's the practical application of those ideas under pressure that feels to me like it needs training in and of itself, not in theory but in reality/practice and in particular *under highest-level pressure*....
