My Boys...16U Trosky Baseball

I just wanted to acknowledge the boys of 16U White Team for all there hard work they have put in this summer, and its only June.  In the 2 tournaments that I have coached with you fine gentleman you have gone from 0-2-1 to 3-1 and a 2nd place finish.  Your first tournament was not that great either.  Here is what I see as an improvement so far.  You are starting to play together as a team. Picking each other up and encouraging each other on.  You don't panic.  It's just another play, pitch, inning and you play the game very calm and cool.  This will be to you advantage when the real pressure comes later.  You all work hard and give your best.  You are able to be coached.  Between Adam and I there is 8 years of division I baseball and 17 years of professional baseball as players.  Not to mention I have been a teaching pro for 19 years.  All you guys ask questions and go out and try to apply this learning quickly.  I am looking forward to our next outing.  Keep playing hard.When you get back to school in the fall you will see the difference when you get around other players that have not used the summer to their advantage.

BBCRAP UPDATE

I thought I had included this a few months ago but I see that the original post was left in my unpublished area.  I did some additional testing on the EASTON SPEED SERIES bat.  I liked it a lot. I finally hit a ball 90 mph with a BBCOR bat.  I averaged out at 84.85 mph. In the thirty balls that I hit clean during the test only 6 of them were 90 mph. That's on average 2 per 10.  The other thing that was not so good was the number of balls I hit in the 70's. (8) which is about 3 per 10.  That means 3 out of 10 times the ball is not going to get out of the infield and if it does it's not going over the outfielder's head.  I am seeing more and more of these bats being used so I might not be the only person feeling this way to.  My test is done from a tee with the same 10 balls. The ball have to be what I considered struck cleanly. I throw out any ball I feel is not hit near or on the sweet spot.  The purpose of this test is to find out the max exit speed of what I can swing.

Average Exit Speed 84.85 mph
Max Exit Speed 90 mph

I like the feel of this bat too.  It has an over all good feel to it.
I would swing this bat if I had too.
I am no paid or endorsed by any bat company.
I am a hitting advocate and want to put the best equipment in the hands of my students
and hitters. 
My recommendation from the beginning has been start swinging wood and still is.
Wood, Composite Wood, and Baum bats still outperform BBCOR bats.
