Strep throat got me this week. Put me on the IL for a few days. So if I missed your messages, swings, or comments, that’s on me. My throat felt like I tried to swallow a cactus. Starting to feel human again and working back through everything now. Appreciate the patience. Back in the trenches soon. P.S. I’m blaming this on the kids who think washing their hands means a one-second rinse and a wipe on their pants. 🤙Lane

You earned this. Before the game starts, take 5 minutes to yourself. No phone. No noise. Just breathe. Slow your heart rate down. Relax your shoulders. Calm your mind. Control you before the game starts speeding up. When it’s time to play, keep it simple: 1️⃣ Be on time. 2️⃣ See the ball. 3️⃣ Swing at good pitches. That’s winning baseball. Be a great teammate. Energy Communication. Support. And remember, you never know who’s watching. Play hard. Run everything out. Strong body language. Calm presence. Compete with poise. 🤙🏼Lane

We control bat path by first understanding the arc of the swing. The barrel works around you. Not at the ball. Around you. The goal is a clean arc that enters through the back of the zone, stays through the middle, and exits through the front. That’s what gives you coverage and real carry. When the arc is right: • You stay on plane longer • You cover more pitch locations • You drive the ball with depth What ruins it? • Losing your body off the ball • Drifting forward • Casting your hands over the plate • Letting the barrel get away from your center Once the arc widens or shifts forward, direction disappears. Simple drill: Use a mirror. Set up sideways. Move slow. Watch the barrel trace around your body. You should see the barrel travel from behind you, through the zone, and out front — without your hands shooting away from your body. The mirror gives you instant feedback. If you can see the arc, you can control the arc. If you control the arc, you control your direction.
