What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a must-listen show, especially for youth coaches. Really enjoyed the most recent episode with Joe Barth. Quick question: he mentioned “The 9 Rules of Hitting” that major league teams lean on, but that Hall of Famers often break at least one of those rules… what are the 9 rules and what rules get broken most often by HOF players?

Lane, your the man brother I’m so proud of what you have become. -Stefon
