Dude has worked his ass off all summer here in Tampa! Speed, path adjustments and moving better. Few get after like @Nicolas_LoBello. @DrivelineBB

Everyone chases bat speed and a perfect attack angle, but that doesn't tell the whole story. @Justin_Sartori breaks why bat path—the combination of swing path tilt, attack angle, AND attack direction gives you a more well-rounded understanding of how a swing works.
We’re cooking again here in the @DrivelineBB Tampa #Launchpad @TommyKoch14 and the boys rooting him on.

Thrilled to be joining @DrivelineBB in a part-time capacity to help place a spotlight on research/athletes/training/other cool stuff happening here and around the game. First story? We had Inside Edge grade 19 Greg Maddux starts. What did we learn? x.com/DrivelineBB/st…
Greg Maddux’s command wasn’t just elite — it was historic. New data shows just how far ahead of the curve he really was. 📊 Full breakdown in our newest blog: drivelinebaseball.com/2025/07/greg-m…
How do the function of the shoulders/scapulas help with adjustability? Lets dive into it ⬇️
Get beat the right way! For new movement patterns to transfer to the game, you need to challenge them But when you get uncomfortable the old patterns come flying back in. Smash Balls are a game changer for stabilizing new moves without fear of getting jammed or breaking bats
Another day, another @Justin_Sartori banger tweet.
Why The Best Hitters In MLB Whiff A LOT I wanna circle back to this and talk about why the best hitters in baseball are usually NOT good at making contact and post well above average whiff rates. Lets use Nick Kurtz as an example🧵 1/12
