No angst here, just fun and games with our resident baseball authority. Your quote, “ Almost every elite hitter and instructor will not teach moving in the box.” You've obviously not been to many advanced camps, clinics, or taught advanced hitters. Or you'd know box positioning for bunting is not remotely the same as moving around the box being a hitter! Right? So, why is that even mentioned? Two vastly different intentions and skills. Your assumptions are mind boggling and who advocated moving from pitch to pitch? Again, you're making quantum leaps with the message which was simply, move up on a junker. FWIW, I’ve done all of the above but I don’t consider that anything unusual or something to brag about. Mph or movement doesn't change the constants of hitting. Nor does it allow you to predetermined what pitch is coming. So according to you the hitter moves by guessing? Or does he just create a new "hole" by moving for a certain ouch type? The plate is 7 balls wide, it doesn't move, nor does the strike zone in terms of where a hitter stands. When you face Bridger Holmes or Joey Mundt, you are going to see a slider. That is not predetermination or guessing, that is fact. There isn’t any guessing involved. You are not creating a hole, the zone isn’t moving and neither is the strike zone – any other baseball wisdom you care to share? Finally coach, you hit with your eyes and last time I checked, your eyes travel with you. Move up! What angst? Why would you with such silliness?! You now use "junker"? A hard sweeping slider isn't a junker! Lol BTW you face off speed "junker" stuff with every pitcher at this level. But, not every pitch... right? So you say if a pitcher has good offspeed or breaking stuff you automatically move up no matter what else they have? LMAO. PS- "hole"... creating a weakness in a hitter's ability to handle every pitch. Moving up creates a hole vs anything "backdoor", and vs velocity. Hey, I guess all these D1 coaches just aren't very good as you'll not see them having hitters move up dramatically due to "junkers". Cuz, jeez what do they know? But, you go teach the LL "dad" move up in the box technique all you want and email MC. But, please continue with your "authority" on all topics baseball. Along with the cut & paste recruiting reports of others. Good info. If you actually live in the v area you should go see some of the pitching at LBCC in person. |

Hahahahaha ...
You are a real piece of work and a little taken with your own sense of importance. Humility is not part of your persona. I see your posts on the Hoops and Football board and I'm amazed at your expertise in all 3 sports. You should change your handle to "Know it all". LOL
I would also suggest you polish up your reading skills, taking liberty with a statement is poor form. I never suggested everyone move up, what Beavaristotle and I suggested was, if you are having trouble with the breaking ball. move up (and we didn't invent that idea)
I have never heard a Scout or coach refer to a pitch shape as a "hole" in your swing. The "hole" has usually been referred to as a pitch location, not a specific pitch. But, no matter . . .
"Junkers" are breaking ball dependent, they won't beat you with velocity. David Moran or Kai Murphy ring a bell with you?
And why the issue with cut and paste? A wise old board moderator once told me, 'Readers won't always be interested in your opinions, but they will be interested in any information you care to share. That's good advice for you Dude, , , , less sniping, correcting. pontificating. opinionating, and lots more sharing of useful information.
You remind me so much of my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Wells.

This weekend made me think the shoe was on the other foot. It brought back some memories of times in the past we faced SEC power hitting teams and instead of feeding them what they love to feast on, our pitchers kept them completely off balance with everything but the fastball. Mainly because that's what our pitchers at the time were good at and it proved to be kryptonite for teams who sit fastball.

Well I have a slightly different view of moving up. If your guys are getting their butts kicked by Junk Baller and they are doing all the "right" things they I say do something different. Hell, stand on your head if that helps. There is something to trying something different if the "good Stuff" is not working. Of course you can go back up there and continue to get your butt kicked.

Nice thought, but hitters generally work on drastic changes during BP sessions and instruction. If you're getting whooped it's your eyes and timing, not your position in the box. You can move, and thus psychologically admit you're getting whooped. But, pitchers will adjust too. Just because a hitter moves doesn't mean a quality pitcher can't adjust. |

I'm glad you have no angst when making such judgmental calls of others. I didn't realize sharing experience and knowledge gleaned from great mentors was so offensive to you that in your state of non-angst it's judgement & name calling. I'm sorry you feel, if not "angst", slighted? Wronged? Or maybe you're just always irrationally judgemental when faced with opposing views?? Go Beavs |

From a coaching stand point sometimes it works to shake up the critters. Watching my guys getting worked over by Junk makes me insane. Perhaps hopeless but damn it do something. Just my thoughts. Does it work? Sometimes, sometimes not. LOL
