"Seasonal" depression. Is it from the throes of winter weather, or rather, the cold, dark absence of the greatest game on dirt? jasonbotts.substack.com/p/there-are-on…
Dad only has two rules: One - keep your hands off the thermostat. Two - Never hit to get loose (get loose to hit). #HaveBatWillTravel #RaisingBallplayersInSkiCountry
Aim High, Swing Hard & Smile Often. #HaveBatWillTravel
When it was a game… #BaseballInTheRockies #HaveBatWillTravel
“The industry has closed holes in many swings but opened up holes in many hitters.” #ReadHaveBatWillTravel
Dad joined in on the action today. Might be a short porch to right-center, high-elevation, and a 33-in Bonesaber, but Dad can still put ‘em over the trees. #HaveBatWillTravel #BaseballInTheRockies
Greatness is never reflected in talent and skill, it’s solely revealed through resourcefulness and creative problem solving. #HaveBatWillTravel
The fungo is not locked back in yet, but hey, I guess it can be filed under “range” development. #HaveBatWillTravel #BaseballInTheRockies #GottaHaveThat
New articles this week: (Tues) How past mistakes of math and chess development are being made currently in youth baseball, and (Fri) my personal story on switch-hitting and the pros and cons of the art. Get subscribed here: jasonbotts.substack.com
Today’s Piece: The Development of Wisdom through “Daddy Ball” Coaching, Observing Bloodline Players, and also the Negative Impact of (Youth) Goal-Setting. jasonbotts.substack.com/p/the-developm…
Today’s Article: A former Mexican league grinder’s (this guy!) thoughts on Trevor Bauer’s summer season — and why the numbers might be as impressive as they look after all. jasonbotts.substack.com/p/trevor-bauer…
Today’s Random Thought: Forget swing mechanics. Forget bat speed or exit velocity. The two most important skills a young hitter needs to develop are (one) resourcefulness and (two) delusion.
This week's HBWT topics include: The Counterbalance of Hitting, The Limitations Of Organized Sports, & the Counterintuitive Art of Building Elite Defenders -- Read at jasonbotts.substack.com/p/building-nat…
Baseball in the Rockies. #HaveBatWillTravel
