Why I Went MIA For A Few Weeks I’ve been a little quiet in here lately. Not because I’ve been checked out. I’ve been learning. For the last few weeks, I’ve gone pretty deep into Motor Preferences and how they apply to hitting. The basic idea is simple: Not every hitter is built to organize movement the same way. Some create stability differently. Some access force differently. Some movements feel natural to one hitter and completely fight another. And the more I learned, the more I realized there was a hole in my own coaching. A lot of hitting instruction starts with: “This is what good hitters do.” Then we try to make every hitter fit that model. Maybe the better question is: How does THIS hitter naturally organize movement? I’ve spent the last few weeks studying it, testing it in lessons and figuring out where it fits with what I already teach. I’m still learning. But I’ve seen enough to know it’s going to change how I evaluate hitters and coach the individual in front of me. Same game. Same task. Different bodies. Different solutions. I’ll start sharing more of what I’ve learned in here. Thank you all for your patience. Lane

Here are some swings from in game recently. I have made changes in my swing and they have been feeling pretty good recently. I have mainly tried to stride less far, load my back elbow more, not move forward in my swing, and not close myself off as much in my swing so I can see the ball better.

Here are some of my recent swings. I’ve changed a few things, so if you have any tips, I’d appreciate it!

Here are my 2 abs from the last game. The first one was a changeup and the second was a fastball.

Here are a few swings from today in preparation for my first high school game on sunday.
