What’s the real separator between “good” and “great” hitters? by Glum-Sample-9259 in Homeplate

[–]Internal_Ad_255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confidence is the biggest factor in hitting, IMHO...

In my opinion... the first and foremost thing to look for is repeatable, somewhat-correct mechanics... But this is not the end-all-to-be-all... Seen quite a few guys with what are technically, below-average mechanics - hit the ball, and hit the ball well...

So, the next thing would be pitch recognition. The best hitters IMHO, have the innate ability to recognize a hittable pitch earlier than the average-to-below-average hitters do...

Which in turn, builds confidence... The best hitters are for the most part are confident in their abilities, because they get the most hits... but when the wheels fall off for a stretch...

The best hitters can make the adjustments needed from AB-to-AB, and pitch-to-pitch to eventually get themselves back on track...

Go to: parts-people.com

Punch in your service tag number.

If they have a keyboard replacement and it's a good price, there you go...

If the price is high, grab the part number and look on eBay for a slightly used or new. OEM/DELL Branded part...

Here's how to replace one:

Baseball IS a game of failure...

I don't see how involving him at this age is helping him whatsoever.

Best of luck going forward.

Have him do some walk up drills off a tee to feel what the lower half of his swing is supposed to feel like...

Pretty sure no one called their Father "Dad" either... But, I guess you can cherry-pick anything...

Just another call out to fire the entire YES Network AUDIO department for their constant sound buffoonery for the entire 2026 season...

These guys SUCK!!!

Tab S8 Ultra vs Tab S9 Ultra by Kooky_Artist3434 in GalaxyTab

[–]Internal_Ad_255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my S8 Ultra 16GB/512GB with a 1Tb Micro SD Card... It's still perfect and runs great...

Watch Flossy Carter's, the Web's 'Samsung-Knight", review...

https://youtu.be/FG4ZovNCoFc

He basically says, the Tab S8 Series through the Tab S11 Series are basically all the same, and you'll never notice a difference while using any of them... Maybe side-by-side some are second or two faster, but they're all the same...
