hogan873 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 And the food accounts have spoken. Footlong Comiskey Dog said Kevin Long was interviewed a second time.

He is a phenomenal hitting coach, however. Expand Quote Mickey Moniak said you offered him a packet. A thick packet. He said he wasn’t sure he needed it, but that he just wanted to hear your advice. Did you do a packet for every guy? Yeah. So, what goes into that? I just kind of paint a picture of their analytics. I do their best month. I do a rundown of where they’ve been and what they’ve done in their career. I look at hot zones. I look at pitches. I look at strike zone discipline. I put together an analytical assessment. Then I do the video and I see if it matches up. I start writing down what’s good, what can get better, and then little notes and tidbits that I have. I’ll just kind of throw that in there as well. The biggest thing is them knowing that I’m taking a vested interest in their career. Once they know that, getting in the cage and doing what we need to do becomes a lot easier.
