He's got a PHD in Hitting, but more importantly...he's got a PHD in "Feel."  It's the Hitting Coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Aaron Bates.  He's shared a batting cage with names like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Trea Turner, and Albert Pujols.  What's his approach?  How does he build trust?  

The boys crack the code on social awareness.  When is it the right time to show a player what they're doing wrong?  How do you differentiate teaching different age groups and skill levels?  When is sarcasm a good thing?  

It's all right here.  EPISODE 50 of the Pod.  Chopper and Ballgame are so very thankful to all our Patreon Supporters and Listeners!  We thrive on this gig!
