What Does It Mean To ‘Build The Database’ When It Comes To Hitting?

Here are some of the topics to be discussed:

  • You're doing a lot of really big things over the last year or two? Go ahead and let them know what you guys are up to?
  • What are some of those tools? I know you have a bunch of them, but say like top two or so outside of the actual pitching machines?
  • It's not just about a whiffle ball pitching machine to hit on?
  • What does it mean to ‘build the database’ when it comes to hitting?
  • You guys have done a lot of cool stuff with using max BP with catchers, how do you guys use that?
  • “Where you're making them make a decision and ignoring one color versus being locked into another color...”
  • “You can honestly get work in and probably 10-15 feet. 20 feet is a good space....”
  • Do you guys test them before they go out?
  • Where can people find you, the website, the social media, all that good stuff?
