Welcome to Behind the Lineup. Everyone loves the highlight reel—but what actually wins games?
In this episode, we break down the real game-changers in baseball and why consistency always beats flash in the long run.
We start by talking about why players, parents, and even coaches can get caught up in metrics like exit velocity, showcase home runs, radar gun readings, and social media hype. These are just tools—not outcomes. “Consistency beats flash every time.”
Next, we dig into pitch execution. Velocity is important, but location, movement, and plan execution are what get outs. Great pitchers don’t just throw hard—they hit spots, change speeds, and attack hitters with purpose.
We also explore plate discipline as the ultimate separator. The best hitters swing at the right pitches, extend at-bats, and help the whole lineup by getting into bullpens and raising pitch counts.
Situational IQ is another game-changer. Winning players know the score, the outs, and how to move runners. They anticipate plays, make good decisions, and earn the trust of coaches who don’t have to tell them twice.
Finally, we talk about why coaches value consistency over everything else. Reliable players compete every pitch, don’t take plays off, and make routine plays routine. Consistency builds trust—and trust earns opportunities.
If you want to truly change games, focus on executing, developing discipline at the plate, understanding the game, and working on the mental side.
