    Notes

    • Post practice plan in the PE office and guys check it and post to group chat
  • Hack attack for multiple uses
    • Dirt ball reads
  • First and thirds
  • Pop ups 
  • Bunting with a little pace
  • 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
  • Conversations with players about what they are seeing and having an approach
  • Each conversation is different based on the player
  • Getting kids prepared for college
    • Call pitches, picks from dugout, signs from a wristband, practice preparation
  • Picks - verbals and non verbals around 
  • As many touches as possible in a short amount of time
    • 4 man fungo,
  • 3 rotation PFP
  • 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!
