When a baseball hitter is ahead in the count at 2-0 or 3-1, there isn’t any such thing as a mediocre swing, late swing, weak swing or check swing during these hitter’s counts. He should have the buttons on his uniform shirt popping off because his swing should be aggressive or he should not be swinging at all and should take the pitch! You will definitely see many better pitches to hit when ahead in the count.

You can be much more selective and decide if it’s the type of pitch that you want to hit and it’s located where you want it to be located or simply take the pitch. If a hitter’s favorite pitch to hit is a fastball that’s belt high and out over the plate and the count is 2-0 or 3-1, if he doesn’t get the fastball out over the plate and belt high he simply takes the pitch. If you are a pull hitter, you can look for a certain pitch that’s over the middle of the plate or middle in, where you like it. If you are an opposite field hitter, you can look for a pitch that’s over the middle of the plate or middle away, where you like it. You can also position yourself in the batters box to hit a ball in a certain part of the strike zone, because that’s the only pitch you are going to swing at anyway.

Most people agree that on average, you get one real good pitch per at bat to hit. There is a much better chance that you will see that one real good pitch if you are ahead in the count and not even or behind in the count.

The main point here is that when you are ahead in the count you should only swing at one type of pitch that’s located where you like it located. You can afford to be very selective and you are in the driver’s seat and not the pitcher!

Although 2-0 and 3-1 are both very good hitter’s counts, the best of the two is the 2-0 count. At 3-1, if a hitter takes strike two, he’s one pitch away from a walk but is also one pitch away from strike three. At 2-0, even if the hitter takes strike one, the count is still favorable for the hitter at 2-1 and he still has plenty of breathing room.

Baseball pitchers at all levels of play are very much entitled to pitch from a safe mound that’s pitcher friendly. Do your own mound maintenance if necessary and don’t let anybody stop you.

As a baseball pitcher, don’t be bashful about inspecting or fixing a mound yourself before you even throw a warm up pitch. Two very important areas are where your landing foot will hit the ground and the pitching rubber area. Don’t hesitate to fill up a hole that quite often is present where most pitchers land with their landing foot. I’ve seen this landing spot sometimes a foot deep and that is unsafe and your pitch quality will suffer also. You can easily get injured landing into this unsafe, deep hole that should not be there.

The area that I have the biggest problem with is those deep holes just in front of the rubber where your pivot foot moves. Unfortunately, they are very common at amateur levels of play. They are very dangerous and risk injury to the pitcher’s foot and also to his arm. Many baseball pitchers have injured their throwing arms by releasing a ball awkwardly and these deep holes in front of the pitching rubber are encouraging just that to happen.

When I was about ten years old, my father taught me how to deal with this hole that is right smack in front of the pitching rubber and does not belong there. He taught me to fill up the hole myself, using my feet to move the dirt from other areas of the mound. Sometimes if the mound is too hard you can’t do this. It didn’t happen often, but occasionally I would hold up the baseball game, spending close to five full minutes filling up this dangerous hole. It makes no sense at all to twist an ankle or possibly getting an injury even more severe.

I asked my father what should I tell an umpire if he tells me to hurry up because we have to get this game moving. My father told me to very politely tell the umpire that this hole should not be there and I’m concerned about breaking my ankle. I must have delayed ball games on about a dozen occasions and not once did an umpire ever say a word to me because they all knew that this hole should not be present if the mound was properly maintained.

Don’t hesitate to make sure the mound is safe and don’t let anybody rush you when you are doing your maintenance. Don’t allow anyone to talk you out of it. The more intelligent umpires will be in total agreement with you and may actually join you while you fill up the hole, as was the case with me several times. You may not be entitled to a pitcher’s mound that is perfect like professional levels of play. On the other hand, you are very much entitled to a pitcher’s mound that is safe and will not inhibit your pitching. Baseball pitching is tough enough on your throwing arm and don’t allow yourself to be put at an even higher risk of injury. Don’t ever hesitate or let anyone stop you from making your workplace safe! And by the way, those of you who are serious about your baseball pitching will very much consider the pitcher’s mound your work place!

There is an endless line of prospective athletes who want to qualify for a basketball team, be it youth level, school teams, club teams, college teams and even semi-pro teams. But few are aware of the shortcuts available that can get them there ahead of most others.

The first and normally just about the only skill that prospective hoopers spend what seems like forever practicing is scoring. Honing their shooting skills is all most everyone seems to be motivated to do.

As a result, shooters are a dime a dozen. Note I did not say scorers as that is a whole other matter. But just about anyone who likes to play the game can shoot since most of their time has been spent lifting the ball towards the basket. In other words, virtually everyone is a shooter. Therefore it follows that the most difficult part of the game within which an athlete can distinguish themselves is shooting. To be recognized as exceptional in that skill set is the most difficult route one can pursue to get noticed and be of value to the team. Yet that is where almost every perspective player focuses.

When you really stop to consider that fact, it makes little sense to follow that crowd if you want to be a part of a basketball team. So what to do?

First and foremost, keep in mind that basketball is a team game. Also remember that it requires a variety of skill sets. The game needs scorers, rebounders, defenders and ball handlers most particularly passers. Unlike a game such as football, there are not lineup changes for offense, defense and specialties. Keeping in mind that most all prospective players spend their skill development time to become shooters, all of the other skill sets are largely ignored. Yet those ignored skill sets are of equal value to scoring and no one is working to master any one of them.

If you want to get on the fast track to qualifying for the team and even more significantly being an impact player, specialize in developing one or two of the other skill sets.

Although this is not rocket science, it is amazing how overlooked this simple idea is by literally millions of athletes wanting to play on a basketball team. However, if you pause to consider the value and importance to getting this right, you can shortcut the team tryout process.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “defend to win”? Most people who understand basketball know the value of defense. Theoretically, it is impossible for an opponent to win if they never score! Make your self the clearly superior defensive player trying out for the team and you will not only make the squad, you will get major playing time.

Or how about being the best shot blocker and rebounder? It is very difficult if not impossible to keep a great rebounder and shot blocker out of a game, let alone not make them part of the team. In basketball, possessions (that is the number of times your team has the ball as opposed to the other team) are a huge factor in determining team success. Rebounders and shot blockers provide for extra possessions and that often is the difference between winning and losing.

Many will say they are too short or that they cannot jump high enough to be effective rebounders and shot blockers. That is just plain bunk! Just as it is possible to train shooting skills, it is possible to train jumping skills. In fact, it is possible for almost anyone to make huge improvements in their leaping ability should they really want to be on the team.

But as we all know, almost no one does. They are just too busy trying to become shooters where they in fact will just be part of the crowd.

For those few who are really driven to make a team, abandon the path followed by all of your competitors and get on a track that will not only land you on the team but will make you an invaluable part of the squad.

All skill development work is hard work and that holds true for improving vertical jump. But if you get into a proved comprehensive jump development system, the future is yours. There are good options available if you seek them out. Do it, and the rest of us will see you in uniform busily providing those extra possessions for your team.
