@Lane Adams helps a ton! Thank you for the reminders. Will give you an update tonight!

Drilled those during pre game! I'm very happy with the day from a growth standpoint. I saw the ball significantly better tonight, was on time, and made much better swing decisions compared to what I have been. My first two AB's were positive for me. Had a flare out and line out with good launch, true spin, just not hit hard enough and too close to the center fielder. My 3rd AB I think I weakly grounded into a DP. The first AB of the night where I thought my poor swing decisions had caused me the at bat. My fourth AB I went down 0-1 on pitch clock violation but I had a different thought. I knew the pitcher was primarily fastball/slider mix. He was sitting mid 90s and already ahead in the count so I got ready for a fastball and tried to pull it into the RCF gap and ended up hitting one of the most pure no doubt homers I've ever hit in my career. On time, clear plan of attack, simple thought, and a bit of growing confidence from my previous at bats. My fourth at bat I continued to see the ball well but took pitches a little too close and got down to two strikes. Then, I abandoned my 2 strike plan that I've had since high school and as a result I chased a changeup that bounced at the cut in front of the plate. Overall, I'm pleased with the night. I'm still struggling but taking steps in the right direction for sure. Gonna keep drilling those ones you sent me and working to find the cues that get me back there.

Not coming out of the ground! And keeping hands up to help stay a tad bit more flat with the pitch on the inner half to help produce a better flighted ball to the right side of the field.

1. Everyone is good. What separates in my opinion is maturity, competitiveness, and give a crapz. How you mentally approach the game matters, how hard you play no matter how sore you are matters, your love for the game and give crap matters. Everyone has a good swing nowadays it’s about how you prepare before you get in the box and your approach when you’re in battle with another man. 2. I wish I would’ve developed more areas of my game. I “bulked” my freshman winter to hopefully gain more power as a hitter and ultimately didn’t gain much at all but I took away my ability to steal bases and contribute in that matter. Instead, I should’ve managed my weight and continued to lift and become stronger/ more powerful and faster that way. 3. JUCO was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I wouldn’t be the player I am today without it. I would’ve loved the stay another in an attempt to win a national championship with my best friends but doors were opened and OSU made it hard to pass up. I will never not be a supporter of JUCO baseball and the way that it prepared me for the next level. I would also say that nothing changes if you don’t. You might not be the better hitter or fielder but you can always be the harder worker. Outwork your competition and fall in love with the process. The flood gates will open once you realize that you’re never your final self, there is always room for improvement.

@Lane Adams Exactly what happened to me!
