Hand angle is huge. It’s a difference maker.
"We want as much surface area and we want to stop the ball when it gets to us. The other hand is going to take care of the rest." 🫡 💪

You don't make the baseball team in the SPRING. You make it RIGHT NOW. NOVEMBER. DECEMBER. JANUARY. FEBRUARY. When it's cold outside. When nobody's watching. When there's no lineup card, no scoreboard, no crowd, and no recognition. Somebody is getting STRONGER. Somebody is getting FASTER. Somebody is fixing that swing. Somebody is learning to COMMAND the baseball. And somebody is doing absolutely NOTHING, assuming they'll have the same starting spot they had last year. Here's the reality... LAST YEAR'S PERFORMANCE DOESN'T GUARANTEE THIS YEAR'S OPPORTUNITY. The player who was behind you in June might be ahead of you in March. Four months is a LONG TIME for a hungry ballplayer to close the gap. Don't wait until tryouts to prove you deserve to play. MAKE THE TEAM BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS. ⚾️

“So you spent $6 billion dollars on a baseball team?” “Yes, Dave.” “And you lost to the Brewers in the playoffs?” “That’s correct, Dave.”
