First and foremost, happy belated Mother's Day to all the Tiger moms. You're the best!
Secondly, amazing idea from some of the teams for having the moms make a celebrity appearance as the 3rd and 1st base coaches.
Alright!
Into this week's newsletter, but before we start I wanted to share an update inside your VIP. We've added 17 new hitting drills under the hitting section of the "Training Center."
Each drill has a 3-5 second clip of the drill with a brief explanation of how to execute the drill. We also added a deep dive video to further explain the details for how hitters should approach the movement, how they should feel while doing the movement, and when to use it.
To see the drills please log into your VIP and head to the "Training Center" section by locating it in the left hand navigation menu.

What I'm following
1/ If there was only an account that showed you how they broadcasted games....
Barrett Pfeiffer is in the control room for the University of Arkansas and he is quickly being recognized by the baseball and softball community. He gives a unique perspective as he calls out camera angles with his reactions. It's almost an art form on how he conducts the team to relay the various camera angles we love to see.
3/ Give Me Your Favorite, Your Dark Horse, and Your Cinderella In Omaha
The projections are in for the field of 64 for the Road to Omaha. Teams are starting to wrap up their seasons and heading into their conference tournaments. There's still a lot of baseball to play but here's the list.
Who is your favorite? Dark Horse? and Cinderella? Above graphic is a poll of all the coaches in Division 1.
10U Gray called in for the celebrity appearance, the moms took over the team for the day (see the post here)
2) "Exhibition of the Tigers" St. Louis 12U Watson V. Hoganson
Both 12U squads had a night that was open, so they called a scrimmage game in full uni's. It takes me back to the old sandlot days.
