    "What's Happened, Happened": World Series Lessons About Competition for Kids - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 103 | Driveline Baseball
    Nov 5 2025
    "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
    Oct 23 2025
    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...

    Bunting Sucks, WWE is Baseball, and 8 Million Kids Nobody's Serving - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 101 | Driveline Baseball
    Oct 1 2025
    Bunting Sucks, WWE is Baseball, and 8 Million Kids Nobody's ServingEpisode DescriptionAfter a two-month hiatus, Deven Morgan returns with a raw, reflective episode covering the whirlwind July-August travel season that tested his family physically, financially, and emotionally. He recounts Danny's first 90-foot home run (and the alleged fence-climbing mission to retrieve the ball), tournament experiences from Spokane to Pullman, and getting asked to leave a dugout after defending a rattled pitcher. The episode pivots to a thought-provoking Savannah Bananas experience that challenges Deven's entire developmental philosophy—watching warmups where catching behind-the-back is practiced as a skill, and 47,000 fans chanting that bunting sucks. He wrestles with what happens when millions of casual youth players are exposed to performative, WWE-style baseball instead of traditional three-up-three-down competition, and whether the industry is prepared for that shift. The episode closes on an emotional note: dropping his daughter off at college, the reality of an empty trunk, and hard-won perspective on getting your money's worth as a parent before time runs out.Timestamps00:00 – Intro & AxeBat discount code 02:15 – July-August travel ball reality: costs, hotels & family time05:06 – Spokane: Danny's first 90-foot homer & (alleged) fence-climbing retrieval mission13:28 – Getting asked to leave the dugout after defending a pitcher24:17 – MVP International Caribbean trip: Dominican & Puerto Rico games29:44 – Shirt off his back: privilege & poverty in the Dominican34:26 – Savannah Bananas: 47,000 screaming "BUNTING SUCKS" & what it means41:11 – WWE vs. wrestling analogy: performative vs. competitive baseball47:33 – The 8 million casual players nobody's serving53:40 – Deadlift troglodytes & resistance to data-driven development55:25 – Dropping daughter at college: empty trunk, ugly cry, get your money's worth01:01:30 – Outro: swing reports, onboarding protocols & Freddie GibbsLinksStart 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 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drivelinebaseball⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/drivelinebaseball
