**Has the game changed or just the coaching?** - Bunting - Where is the small ball? - Cuttoffs and Priorities - Everyone has a job. - Situational hitting - Taking strikes, choking up, or swinging away? - Back Up - Remember the catcher that would run halfway up the first base line behind the batter? What else has disappeared from the game? ---

Hitting wise everyone is so worried about base hits and bombs. My favorite way to score is hitting behind runners with less than 2 outs. There is nothing a defense can do they play it perfectly, get the out and we still score. I think that team offense mentally has been lost in baseball. ---

Everybody loves base hits and bombs—but there’s a different level of baseball IQ when a hitter understands the situation and executes for the team. Not everyone can execute when it matters. We all like to see the dingers, but the scoreboard ultimately tells the tale.
