Moneyball Mechanics

One of the most common issues I see with young hitters is cutting the barrel across the zone instead of staying through the middle, getting full extension and holding direction. 🎯

Christian’s been working on fixing that, and this is one of my favorite drills to help it click 👇

I set up three cones in a straight line with the tee and have the hitter focus on driving the barrel directly through the ball. I’ll pause them at full extension to make sure they’re reaching that position instead of staying tight with the elbows pinned to the body. Some of the cues that I tell the hitters is to “hit every ball on the line” or “keep the barrel on that path as long as possible”. Simple, clear verbal cues like this make a big difference for young hitters. 🧪

This helps eliminate that down and across, cutty type of swing that leads to weak, pull-side ground balls with topspin. The cones and ball give a clear visual, which makes a huge difference for younger players. Also, notice how every single ball Christian hit was to center field or right center. That wouldn’t be possible without a proper bat path. 💯

If your athlete is struggling with similar issues, I’d love to help. 💪

One of the very first athletes I had the opportunity to train—and about a year and a half later, the growth has been incredible. The progress he’s made is a direct result of his work ethic, coachability, and commitment to getting better every single day.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 💯

A little over a year ago, I started Moneyball Mechanics, and Vince was one of the first athletes to train with me. Since then he’s been locked in, showing up consistently, trusting the process, and putting in the kind of hard work that separates good players from great ones.

That work is paying off. Vince played in his first 9U kid pitch tournament this weekend and came through with a solid hit that earned him a double!!! I couldn’t be more proud of this kid and how far he’s come.This is what it’s all about.

Big shoutout to Vince’s parents for trusting me with his development and staying consistent.. it means the world. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him! 💸 ⚾️

My guy Kingsley with this first inside the parker! Love to see the hardwork pay off!

Eyan!! This kid loves the grind and has a passion for the game! His mom sent me this video because he wanted to show me that he is working at home. I love to see it!
