L3u fifth natty since 1958!!
I feel your pain!!!

Hitters should be getting timing down in the on-deck circle. If the first pitch is a strike, they better be pulling the trigger!

Ain’t none of them Pete Rose, who was the GOAT at taking strikes to size up the pitcher. He watched the pitch all the way into the mitt. He was processing!

One thing I insisted on once there were two strikes: Widen your stance, no stride, stay back, choke up, and try to hit the ball up the middle.
It worked pretty well after they got used to it, and lots of gassers for not doing it. It was non-negotiable, but our 2-strike hitting improved.

Google “pitch count vs average” Print the chart and give them a copy. Post a copy in the dugout by the bat rack.

Good luck!!

I tuned in late this afternoon and saw Sam maybe 3-4 times because they showed every second of McIlroy’s rollercoaster +1 round!!
If bama is not doing film analysis of every hitter on the team regularly, (fall and spring), and addressing issues, whether bad habit or player stubbornness, then the hitting coach needs to go!

I guarantee you could set a T on the outside black of HP, and Torres and Steele would have to do something different with their hands in order to hit it to the right side of the field. And that is the kind of stuff a hitting coach should be working on. And give LeBron some reps too. :lol:
Hitting wise there is nothing more pure than line drive doubles into alleys because that’s where the ball was supposed to be hit.

mental approach


Bama’s mental approach was terrible. So passive!! Batters took so many 2-0, 2-1 pitches right down the pipe with the count in their favor. So frustrating!

Too many batters made no adjustments during the course of a game. Consistently getting pitched to certain areas in the zone and never adjusting to that spot…..Torres and LeBron getting pitched on the outside part of the zone are examples. And they went game after game trying to pull it. LeBron’s avg fell like the Titanic, and Torres is just a .225-240 hitter, regardless of where in the order he bats or what pitches he gets. Hines can hopefully figure this out, too, because his swing is on the same plane regardless of the pitch.
Vaughn and Steele invariably took a first pitch FB strike to put themselves in the hole. So did other guys at the bottom of the order who started at some point in the season

As everyone knows, an 0-1, or 0-2 count is a tremendous advantage for a good pitcher. It makes hitting a lot harder. There are some really good ones in the SEC and post-season, but our approach at the plate has pretty much sucked all season. How many times did it look like our batters were really challenging a pitcher? Refusing to strikeout? Owning the plate? Daring the pitcher to throw them a strike?

My $.02 worth.

FIFY
Not quite as bad as ‘25 L3u football (#3, finished 7-6) and ‘26 baseball (#2, finished 30-28)

Defines overrated.

LeBron has holes in his game, but he’ll get paid handsomely.

Zero place for them in Omaha.

Embarrassing.

The Fighting L3u Tigers got eliminated in April. :lol:

I totally agree nfLoSerU.
