“Every single time they step in the box, it doesn’t matter the count or the situation they try to hit a home-run.”

So much insight from one of the best hitting programs in the country. So incredibly rare in softball!

The word is out about sabermetrics, analytics and how to maximize every player’s value. It’s about squeezing every bit of production out of everyone in the line-up.

The good ole’ batting average is no longer the only measure of success. OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) has proven to be far more valuable.

Singles are better than outs. Doubles are better than singles. Triples are better than doubles and a home-run is the best outcome in any at bat. Purposely hitting ground balls, bunting and other ways of purposely giving the other team your precious outs does not help you score more runs and does not help players reach their full potential.

Thank you to the Saint Francis Program for sharing what their process looks like. Ton of valuable insights!
