Hey everyone,
It's that time of year again! My Tusculum University college baseball team fundraiser. Approaching my senior year and final ride I am very excited, time has flown by these past for years. This year we are have a goal of each player raising 525$ to go towards all our team expenses such as gear and equipment, as well as travel expenses. As a small college, funding for athletics is much smaller than that of a large school so each student-athlete is told to do their part and help raise as much as we can to offset the heavy expenses. If you are able to donate and financially help in any way, I would be very grateful and thankful! Any amount helps no matter how big or small! If you aren't able to donate, or even if you are, I would also appreciate if anyone who sees this can share this message to spread the word! Thanks in advance everyone!
-Sam

Really great article for all coaches and parents when it comes to what you should be telling your players and kids when it comes to hitting! Must read!!!

"Proper swing mechanics are vital to the development of good hitters. But just because a hitter has good swing mechanics doesn’t automatically mean he or she can hit. There is much more to hitting than what the swing is "supposed" to look like. Instead, coaches need to tailor their instruction to the strengths and weaknesses of individual hitters. A focus on a uniform swing can distract players from the aspects of hitting they need to be focusing on, such as approach, pitch recognition, and making adjustments. Mechanics don't make great hitters; a good mentality does.Too many coaches focus on teaching a method rather than identifying a player’s strengths and weaknesses and conveying what he or she needs to be successful!"

Troy Silva sees too many coaches take a "one-philosophy fits-all" approach to hitting. He breaks down the top 10 myths about hitting today.

I know it’s a little chilly, but it’s not too terrible out! If anyone is interested in lessons over the next 3 weeks, I’m home for winter break and will be available!

This swing was in a 3-2 count: (very important to note that my first two swings were bad, I had pulled off big time head, shoulder, and front foot). Making in game adjustments is so important! Don’t wait till after your at bat or after the game to make an adjustment! Own your at bat, make adjustments in the box, and compete!

So important to see the bigger picture always!
