    Sandy Koufax Retired at 31 and We're Still Letting 14-Year-Olds Go 121 Pitches in Fall Ball - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 104 | Driveline Baseball
    2025/11/17
    Sandy Koufax Retired at 31 and We're Still Letting 14-Year-Olds Go 121 Pitches in Fall BallDeven opens with Pitching Ninja's video on Yada Sensei—Yamamoto's trainer—and his tree analogy: focus on the trunk (core, proximal segments), not the branches (arm positions, extremities). He applies this to youth coaching, calling out PE teachers demanding point-at-target finishes instead of teaching proper sequencing. The episode pivots to "This Week in Pitch Counts": 14U kids throwing 121 during October fall ball. Deven systematically dismantles every fall ball justification ("chemistry is built," "toughness is earned") while contrasting Yamamoto's built-up workload capacity with kids spiking acute/chronic load in meaningless games. He invokes Sandy Koufax's retirement at 31 from chronic arthritis as proof we're ignoring history. The core is his fired-up plea ahead of the ABCA Youth Summit: four years of talk, now it's time to build Pitch Smart 2.0 with universal pitch counts, universal reporting, and red-light/green-light systems like Baseball Ontario's app. He frames the crisis through "two boxes"—baseball's dependence on pitcher health and accelerating public perception that travel baseball is injurious and family-hostile—arguing the game will die from the bottom up if parents stop enrolling kids after watching burnout and injury cycles repeat.00:00 – Intro, AxeBat code & new training packages02:13 – Yada Sensei & Yamamoto: trunk vs. branches philosophy08:38 – PE teachers, pointing finishes & proximal-to-distal reality14:31 – 115 pitches October 11th: This Week in Pitch Counts16:15 – 14U kid: 115 Saturday, 121 Sunday, 97 Monday in fall ball22:18 – Debunking "It's never just fall ball" myths27:15 – What fall ball should be vs. October tournaments31:04 – Sandy Koufax at 31 & normalizing ibuprofen for 9-year-olds32:42 – ABCA Summit: four years of talk, time for action34:08 – Pitch Smart 2.0: universal counts & reporting blueprint42:19 – Two boxes: pitcher dependency + public perception crisis47:25 – "Why sign my 7-year-old up after what killed my 11-year-old's love?"50:25 – Baseball Ontario's red-light/green-light app solution56:04 – Universal reporting unlocks coach certification visibility01:02:30 – Outro: Austin summit report next weekLinksStart training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🚨 Follow Driveline Academy on Social Media 🚨⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrivelineYouth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drivelineyouth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/drivelineyouth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔽 Follow Driveline Baseball on Social Media 🔽⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrivelineBB...

    "What's Happened, Happened": World Series Lessons About Competition for Kids - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 103 | Driveline Baseball
    2025/11/05
    "What's Happened, Happened": World Series Lessons About Competition for KidsFresh off the most chaotic World Series of his lifetime, Deven dissects game seven's critical moments to extract actionable lessons for youth players, coaches, and parents. He opens with new Driveline youth assessment packages, then dives into Shohei Ohtani's masterclass in mental discipline—giving up a three-run homer to Bo Bichette in his dream scenario (pitching game seven), then returning to compete effectively as a hitter. Deven contrasts this with Miguel Rojas's game-tying home run on just his second hit in a month, using both examples to illustrate trainable competitive mindset work. The episode pivots to practical troubleshooting: when your kid goes 0-for-the-week, the first conversation must be "Are we on time? Are we swinging at hittable pitches?"—not mechanical minutiae. He breaks down hunt-the-heater approach work, go/no-go training rounds, and why thick-grip bats aren't the leverage point parents think they are. The Yamamoto workload discussion gets serious: 200+ pitches in a week is extraordinary, not replicable for 12-year-olds, and can't be "wished into existence" without tracking tools like Driveline Pulse. The episode closes with a fired-up blueprint for Players Way amid federal investigation—stop carving registration fees, build coaching curriculum, reward compliant leagues with free national tournament experiences, and quit arguing about swing mechanics when competitive mindset and experience design matter infinitely more.Timestamps00:00 – Intro, AxeBat code & new youth assessment packages05:49 – Game Seven chaos & Kershaw's legacy moments10:06 – Shohei gives up Bo Bichette dinger in dream scenario16:36 – Competing after failure: trainable mental discipline22:08 – Rojas: second hit in a month, game-tying homer27:15 – 0-for-the-week fix: "On time?

    Geno Suarez Shanked Grand Slam Proves Your Kid Needs Bat Speed Training - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 102 | Driveline Baseball
    2025/10/23
    Geno Suarez Shanked Grand Slam Proves Your Kid Needs Bat Speed TrainingWe first take a deep dive into MLB's new Amateur Recovery Period (October 15th-January 15th), breaking down why the league is using its leverage to force rest and development time for high school players. The episode pivots to Shohei Ohtani's transcendent postseason performance (two 116+mph batted balls, three homers, pumping hundreds on the mound), using it to illustrate why youth players should train as two-way athletes and move around the field instead of getting pigeonholed. Deven connects Geno Suarez's late, shanked home run to the bat speed training argument, then tackles the Mariners' devastating Game 7 loss and Dan Wilson's old-school closer decision. The core of the episode centers on Orion Kerkring's throwing error and Rob Thompson's response—hand on chest, picking the kid up—which Deven holds up as the coaching standard, contrasting it with his own past failures as "kind of a dick" in games. He challenges coaches directly: when a kid fails publicly and the game is already lost, how will you respond? The episode closes on A-Rod's commentary, national personalities who can't celebrate the game, and a preview of the tongue-in-cheek "How to Ruin a Hitter/Pitcher" video series.Timestamps00:00 – Intro, AxeBat code & first vacation in 20 years04:01 – MLB's Amateur Recovery Period: October 15th-January 15th breakdown10:45 – Fatigue, super-compensation & why kids get hurt without rest13:41 – On-ramping 101: marathon analogy & 4-6 week build-up protocols19:03 – Showcase economics vs. player health: "matters concerning health comes first"22:16 – Shohei Ohtani: 116.9mph, 469ft & the billion-out-of-a-billion performance30:17 – Two-way paradigm & moving kids around the field: why Danny got varsity reps34:26 – The disaffected right fielder stuck there "all the mother effin time"37:07 – Geno Suarez shank homer: low smash factor argument for bat speed41:15 – Dinger to Springer & Dan Wilson's old school closer decision46:12 – Orion Kerkring play: Rob Thompson's hand on his chest & what coaching should look like53:32 – "What's happened, happened": the game is lost—how will you respond?56:04 – A-Rod commentary & why national personalities hate the state of the game58:04 – Outro: "How to Ruin a Hitter/Pitcher" video series previewLinksStart training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🚨 Follow Driveline Academy on Social Media 🚨⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrivelineYouth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drivelineyouth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/drivelineyouth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔽 Follow Driveline Baseball on Social Media 🔽⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrivelineBB...
