thoughts for today-

hit in the cages at duke for the first time off the tee. My initial notes:

tip at the waist (weight over feet, load body), cock the fuck out of hips and legs, stay through the ball, heel timing, and don't use shoulders, extend through ball w/ hands.

i used a couple drills in the cage that i thought were productive:

practice stride in mirror- side and front

practice start swing- knee and elbow going in opposite directions

heel timing

starting load w/ right arm

right arm swings off tee - backspin

practicing load w/ 1 arm dry swing

practicing heel timing w/ 1 arm dry swing

i need to stay productive in the cage- do drills on a daily basis that will serve me in the long run- stay moving forward and not searching endlessly for a magic drill or thought off the tee and ruining my swing in the process.

I will crush this pitching in fall ball this year. my swing feel quick and powerful.
