MBC 13's To Visit U of W Cages


You will all soon find out, if my actions haven't given it away already, that I suffer from a terrible handicap called CALENDER IMPAIRMENT. In my haste to get away last weekend, and my guilt of missing a weekend to work out, I made the WRONG assumption that our next opportunity to work out would be the weekend of the mandatory player/parent meeting.


The good news is that we have one more weekend before that meeting and I intend to use it! The EXCITING news is that this weekend I have a special treat in store for the team.


SUNDAY OCTOBER 19 at 3:00 we will all meet at the University of Washington baseball field. We will watch the current Husky baseball team play some of their annual intra-squad World Series and then go into the hitting barn out in the left field corner and hit in the cages.


These cages are great. As a Seattle U alumni we were allowed to take pre-game (US vs SU alumni game) BP in these cages. The really great aspect of these cages is that there are FOUR video cameras on you as you hit. The cameras are on a delay. After you hit your round you are then able to come out and watch yourself from four different angles. It is quite an impressive training tool. One can be told over and over of a mechanical flaw in their swing BUT seeing is believing and is the fastest way to embrace instruction.
