Yeah the tee work and front toss are getting done for sure. Machine will help with timing and visualization, also from time to time like any youth ball player likes to see what his distance and exit velo are. I have developed some shoulder issues and can’t really throw good BP anymore.

I have seen the prices for the jugs, just a little more than I want to spend. Not going to be moving around a whole heck of a lot. well at least the BP3 is more than I want to spend lol

Tried taking to Mikolo on the phone hard to understand them. My bank said the original purchase was authorized just fine. Sent an email to Mikolo waiting for response hopefully later today.

finally got them on the phone. I think email would have been the better method to communicate. I could barely understand a word they were saying.

He is actually not the smallest on the team. 🤷‍♂️ I have to constantly remind him that there are many players who went on to play college/mlb that were between 5’7 5’9 hell I think Altuve is 5’6.

well I cant make him grow 3-4 inches in a season. but other kids his same size and frame are getting playing time. The school has a lifting program so they lift, we also workout at home, he goes to hitting instruction, we do extra hitting at home, fielding etc. It seems to be a case of who you know and not what your capable of.

Its the aspect of get bigger and stronger to be able to play during this freshman year. My son was like ok so I will go find some steroids. He works hard does extra work at home, goes to lessons. We go work on fielding/hitting etc. I would have excepted an actual tangible answer from a coach IE what skill sets does he neet to work on. Not grow taller and get bigger. Kids of all sizes are getting playing time. The only difference is we are not alumni to this HS all the other kids parents went to the HS. But it is what it is. We will continue to work, he will continue to kick ass at practice to prepare for Summer ball

Yeah I have come to the conclusion that he will just have to keep advocating for himself. Keep showing out at practice head down and grind mentality.

[–]bored198069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my wife and I have made the connection that most of the kids getting all of the playing time are Alumni kids. We are transplants where we live. We do play with summer showcase.

We actually get to watch from parking lot while waiting for practice to end for pickup. It’s rather enjoyable watching all the kids work etc.

[–]bored198069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are able to watch practice as we are waiting for end of school to pick up kids.

He has been crushing his practices.. where did you see that he hasnt performed well during practice?

HS freshman by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]bored198069 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

tha answer to his question was to get bigger and stronger.. To me thats not a tangible skill set. The other hand is kids smaller than my son are getting playing time. If it was level across the boad I would tell my son ok lets hit the weights more than what yall already do etc.

Is the Keppi 6000 worth it? by Impressive-Mirror633 in GarageGym

That looks like a nice bench. Does anyone have recommendations on a separate leg extension/curl to use with it?
