How to Hit a Curve Ball

Calendar May 3, 2011 | Posted by Brandon

Hello hitters,

......DON'T MISS THE FASTBALL!!...How do I hit a curve ball? This is
the one question that I get from parents and kids all the time. The off
speed pitch gives amateur hitters a fit. I always answer with "Don't
miss the fastball". Kids and parents laugh, but I'm serious.

During every at-bat you should be focused on getting a fastball in your
zone in favorable counts. As the at-bat goes along and the count
changes, your focus should change, but you should focus on hitting the
fastball when you can.

As you move up the ranks in baseball and have access to video and
scouting reports, you will begin to see how pitchers throw to hitters
and what counts they like to throw off-speed pitches in. Scouting
reports and video can be very helpful to hitting the fastball and not
worring about how to hit off-speed pitches.

Focus on the fastball in your zone!

The Off-Season

Calendar November 30, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

Well, it's here and it aint going anywhere....it's the off-season. This
is not a good time of year if you're a fan of the game, but if you are
a player (at any level) it's the most important time of the season.

Youth players today are playing baseball all year long. At first
glance, that seem s to be great. When you look a little closer, it can
become a problem.

I beleive that even if you can play all year 'round, you shouldn't. You
need to take a break and create an "off-season" for yourself.

Benefits of the off-season

1. Time to recover from any injury or aches and pains-When you play
everyday, take BP everyday, run and throw everyday, you will do some
sort of damage to your body.

2. Relax-playing baseball everyday, during the course of a season can
become stressfull, especially if you are not having a good year, or are
fighting against injury. Take part of the off-season to rest your mind!

3. Be a Kid!-All kids need time to be kids. you can't play and practice
everyday. You need to spend time with friends, go to the movies, play
golf, rest and have fun...other than playing baseball.

4. Work out the Kinks- The off season is the time to get back to basics
and re-build your swing. Evaluate everything, right down to your
stance, and make the necessary adjustments.

5. Prepare Physically- After you have taken some time off to rest, it's
time to get back to work and get bigger, stronger, faster and more
flexible so you can play at your absolute top level!!

Use the Off-Season to your advantage and you will become a dangerous
hitter!

Cliff Lee's One Mistake

Calendar November 2, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

In the playoffs, good pitching usually beats good hitting (and the
Rangers can swing it!).

A good hitter has to look for the one mistake a pitcher might make. The
mistake might only happen once during an entire game, or it could
happen once per at-bat. Regardless, you must not miss the mistake.

In the World Series, Cliff Lee made one bad pitch and Renteria didn't
miss it! The Giants hitters knew Cliff Lee would be around the plate.
They were patient and waited for pitches to hit.

As a hitter, you must be mentally ready during the playoffs because you
are only going to get one chance to hit a mistake pitch. Don't miss
it!!

Playoff Baseball Pressure

Calendar October 5, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

Hope you're well and hitting ropes!

This is my favorite time of year...PLAYOFFS!

I've been asked recently how to stay composed at the plate and how to
hit while relaxed. Some of my students say that the get nervous in a
big game or in a tight situation.

The player who is the best post season performer I've ever seen is
Derek Jeter. I want you all to watch Derek in the playoffs. He didn't
have the best offensive year of his career this season, but so what. He
is going to be focused during every at bat and 100% mentally ready to
do his job.

He might stike out, or ground out or fly out, but he will take pitches
(giving his teammates a chance to see all the pitchers stuff). He will
also be focused on doing his job at the plate. Hitting the ball the
other way, sacrifice bunt, sac fly. He knows that he will not get a hit
every time up, but he can help his team every time he's up!

So what does he do differently during the post season? Well, that's a
trick question. the answer is nothing! Derek Jeter does nothing
differently during the post season! He remains focused during the game
and mentally prepares the days before a game.

In the playoffs you will see many pitching changes in order to match up
against hitters. In his pre game prep, Jeter and all great hitters will
go over the different pitchers they may face and run through different
situations they may be in during the game.

The key to performing well in the playoffs or in big games is to be
prepared for every possible situation you might face. The best way to
stay calm and relaxed is to be prepared! The mental side of hitting is
the most important side. If you are mentally ready to play, you will
perform in any situation.

Enjoy the playoffs and study Derek Jeter. He is always prepared for the
big situation.

Add Power at the Plate

Calendar September 30, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

It's Brandon here giving you 5 easy ways to add more power at the
plate.

It takes dedication and hours of hard work to develop a great swing. It
also takes a little bit of luck at the plate sometimes to get some some
hits. What doesn't take hours of mental and physical preparation is
eating well.

Food is the best way to add natural energy to your game. When you don't
eat well, it's like putting low octane gas in a high performance sports
car. Your body is the sports car! You must treat it the right way to
produce the power and energy you need to perform in the game and during
practice.

The easiest way to gain energy is to eat well and to eat Breakfast!!
You may have had a late night game the day before and just want to
sleep in the next day. That's fine, as long as you eat right when you
wake up. Eating breakfast replenishes your bodies food supply from a
night of fasting (you fast when your body is at sleep). Skipping
breakfast is like driving your high performance sports car on empty!

Here is an example list of energy foods that baseball players can
easily add to their diets during the busy season.

Energy Foods

1. Fruit (apple's specifically) easily carried, and found in just about every
store, even truck stops on lonely highways.

2. Yogurt (low or non-fat) easy to travel with and full of vitamins. Add nuts
or berries to enhance flavor.

3. Tuna- Get it in a sub, or eat it right out of the can. Tons of protein for
lean muscle!

4. Sunflower seeds- a baseball player's favorite! good source of fiber and
energy.

5. Bananas- Easy to travel with and quick to eat. Provides potassium which
helps maintain muscle function.

The list goes on and on and on, but these 5 foods are all readily
available, can be eaten anytime of day and are cheap to buy. Add these
foods into your pre-and post game meals and fuel recovery and add some
energy!

Staying Focused & Positive

Calendar September 22, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

If you have read any of my previous posts, you know that I sign off
with "Stay Focused". I have been asked "how do I stay focused at the
plate?" by parents and hitters of all levels.

The best answer I can give is the more prepared you are to play, both
mentally and physically, will help you stay focused during a game.

Being prepared mentally means knowing who you are going to face as a
team and what opposing pitcher you will be facing. Have you seen that
pitcher before? Do you know what he likes to throw in certain counts?
Does he start every hitter with the same pitch? Does he tip
pitches...etc. If you are prepared to play mentally, you will be able
to lock in and focus during a game. Also, have you had good practice
sessions, or done some tee work or other batting drills to burn into
your mind the correct swing path?

Physical readiness means, is your body in condition to play at your
best? Are you in good enough condition to handle any type of climate
change, like extreme heat, or cold? Are you injury free or do you have
nagging injuries that are in the back of your mind? If you have trained
properly and feel good, then you have a great chance to play good! My
friend and professional strength coach, Brandon Smith, has the
philosophy of "Move Better, Feel Better, Play Better" This means to
me, that if your body is prepared you will feel better and not worry
and be free mentally....leading to better performance.

Just like I say in my Ebook, Conditioned to Hit, prepare yourself
everyday mentally and physically. If you can do that, you will have no
problem staying focused and staying positive!

Rotator Cuff Basics

Calendar September 17, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

Hope you're all doing well and hitting ropes. As baseball players, we
all have to keep our shoulders in condition. Even as a DH, I never knew
when I would have to play the field!

One point to building shoulder strength is to work your legs hard and
develop great mobility in your hips and thoracic spine. It's also
important to do direct work on the shoulders.

This video with strength coach Brandon Smith shows a very simple way to
work the muscles of your rotator cuff. As you can see, you do not need
weight (if you use weight, do not exceed 5 lbs.)



Maintain your physical conditioning program all season long and keep
your shoulders healthy! A Conditioned Hitter is a dangerous hitter!

Strength and Stability

Calendar September 14, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitters,

I hope you're well and hitting ropes.

Here is a video from professional strength coach, Brandon Smith, that
is great for developing better stability while increasing strength.
This exercise is called a Stability Bar Pull. You will feel this move
engage your core muscles, hips, back and even some forearm and wrist.
Maintain great posture and always be aware of your body position.

Great hitters have excellent stability at the plate. Having great
stability gives you a foundation to build power on.



Try this exercise only after you have been cleared by a physician to
engage in physical activity.

All great hitters follow a sound physical conditioning program (year
round!). Add this new exercise to your program and you will see the
difference.


Stay focused and get Conditioned!

Better Nutrition=Better Performance

Calendar August 30, 2010 | Posted by Brandon
Hello Hitters,

Processed, Packaged, Boxed & Canned!!

Foods processed this way will make you fat, feel lazy and lethargic.
You will not play to your optimal performance if your diet consists
primarily of processed, packaged, boxed and canned foods.

Try to replace these foods with healthy, grass fed animal products.
Grass fed animal products have higher nutrients and will make you
leaner and healthier. Because of the high nutrient density of grass
fed, animal products, you will actually eat less and avoid consuming
dangerous hormones, antibiotics and parasites that unhealthy animals
may consume and pass on to you.

Remember, a healthy hitter is a dangerous hitter!

Stay Focused
Mike "The HitMan" Easler

PS I would like to thank Brandon Smith and Joe Howley for their input
on the subject of nutrition and performance
