Congrats on hitting Book sale #1000 !

Is that hitter being taught to fall backwards towards the catcher?

Yall are nailing it. This is the first podcast I have listened to of yours , I’m 40 minutes in and yall got my attention. The last two years I keep talking myself out of putting my son in travel ball because of all the bullshit that comes with it. I coach my son in rec and do my best to grow every year as a coach so I can grow with my son and his teammates talent and needs. Weighing out the pros and cons between the two is so hard. Politics and bs are on both sides. I have come to realize very few have the kids at the forefront of what they are doing and why they are doing it

Our routine after pitching in a game is a mix of cold and hot. High School sophomore. As soon as he comes out (65-85 pitches) he uses his stim unit for 10 mins while in the dugout. Once we're home, he uses his ice pack on his elbow for 10 mins to reduce any swelling. Then he follows that up with a heating pad and his stim unit simultaneously for 20 mins. He is not required to use ice, but he prefers it. He is required to use heat and stim. We do other things afterwards, but it's irrelevant to the ice conversation.

As the father of a 16U pitcher only, I like the idea of a player portal. We had discussed something similar after we finished our summer season. If he was only going to play 1 game a weekend, why not be a "super sub" or "mercenary" and pick and choose your spots? It cuts down on unnecessary travel and expenses, we don't have to waste time on out-of-town tournaments and we can spend our summer weekends doing other things when my son isn't pitching. Now, could we find a team that would be willing to agree to a lesser obligation and be just fine with us showing up for only one game? Absolutely. And ultimately, that's what we decided to do because there were special circumstances around this particular team. But I can certainly understand if other pitcher only players and parents wanted to embrace this system. I definitely wouldn't criticize a coach for using it. You guys act like these coaches are entering tournaments at the last minute. Our 2025 summer schedule is already booked. Injuries happen. Vacations happen. Life events happen. There are any number of reasons why a coach would need to use this system to find a replacement. Fall ball is a perfect example, especially for high school age players. We subbed for our old team for a few weeks because half the roster was JV/Varsity football players who were not available to play. The coach signed up for the league knowing that there were other players available. And this was the case for every team in the league. They were all using subs from other teams who weren't playing fall ball. Having a system like this in place would certainly make it easier to navigate the weeks when a player is busy with football, or a homecoming dance. Why eliminate a tool that can make it easier for kids to play a game if they're available and want to play? It seems like you guys willingly defaulted to the worst case scenarios of why not to be apart of this system. What difference does it make if it's a players regular team vs a team they're subbing for when it concerns pitcher workload? I've seen kids arms get abused more by the coaches who are around them every week more than I have when subbing for another team. Anytime my son has subbed with another coach that isn't familiar with him, we always discuss his workload for a given day, and I never put him into a compromising situation where he can be overworked. Instead of shitting all over what the guy has created, maybe try to see the positives of what it can offer. Not every player, parent and family has the approach that you guys do. It's not your kid, it's not your money, it's not your time. I've listened to every podcast from the start, and I've had some philosophical differences with some topics, but you guys missed the mark big time with this one.

Good point ~!

Is the snapshot only in person in a Driveline facility?

The irony… I watched my son’s former travel ball team this weekend, and watched the catcher from both Saturday games turn around and pitch 85 pitches on Sunday. To make matters worse; the Sunday catcher pitched 80 on Saturday. The coach preaches arm care, yet that’s the reason we left… I hope you keep pushing to create a uniform way of reporting/tracking arm usage of our youth.

My “I can do that” guy was Allen Iverson 💯 Also, We’d love to see the slim/power training bats in 27-28 range. We bought the 30 in and they’re just way too big and therefore have just been sitting in my garage 😅

Any idea how to attach a blast motion or diamond kinetics to one of these? Seems like you refer to using a sensor in your videos but the sock they send with it doesn’t work for me…
