I love this article. It is a great reminder that small things compound into big swings and build momentum. Great short read.

We track everything in baseball—except one of the most important things.

“Momentum is built through the plays most people overlook.”

It’s not always the highlight plays.
It’s running hard. Taking the extra 90. Getting the leadoff out. Finishing innings.

The teams that understand momentum don’t wait for it—they create it.
