The amateur baseball industry is riddled with those looking to make a quick buck and glorify themselves...

Things to look out for...
- Naming after themself
- Their social media feed is all pics/vids of themself
- They position themselves as the reason your child will have success
- It looks like they are the star of the show

The valuable coaches/advisors in this industry understand it isn't about themselves...

The educated players/parents know the same thing

Choose Wisely and make your child the star of this process...

⚾ DOES THE ONE-KNEE STANCE HELP CATCHERS OFFENSIVELY? 🧢

Catching is one of the most physically demanding positions in baseball. But what if changing your stance behind the plate could help you perform better AT the plate?

William Contreras’ postseason performance raises an interesting question: Can the one-knee stance help catchers stay fresher, recover better, and maintain their offensive production deep into October? 👀

Less physical wear and tear over 9 innings. Over 162 games. Over an entire postseason.

The goal isn’t just to become a better defensive catcher. It’s to become a better complete catcher.

What do you think? Does the one-knee stance provide an offensive advantage? ⬇️
