Re: Re: Re: Posting swing clips of coaches

Hi

I am thinking a lot of us who are over 30 years old should post clips of our swings, our 60 sprint times, bench press and squat stats and try to get a pro contract. What do you all think? Coach C paved the way with his MLB quality cut.

You can bench and squat all you want but that doesnt mean you can play pro ball. Please get real, for a 30 + yr old position player to make the majors out of nowhere like ure speaking of is unreal and frankly not possible if you have not been playing pro ball for a while. Melvin, I hope this was a joke, I have a beatiful swing and run a 6.6 at best 60 time, but I still trying to get into a college and not even considering a pro contract because those players are unreal.

Those players are not unreal, they are mechanically sound. Post a clip and make sure it's yours and not your college buddy's. Now that's funny and I did fall out of my chair! Keep it real Doug (my new fast friend with the big league swing).

I'm in my junior year in high school, I never said I was in college, nor is my name Doug. There is a difference between having a big league swing and big league bat speed. My response was based more towards Melvins remarks about how he thinks its so simple to become a professional ball player. When I attend a showcase in January I will have clip online which I can link to here, and proof of my 60 time.
Major League ball players generate batspeeds over 90 mph and for the most part are in amazing shape. Not all are speedsters but they are all amazingly athletic. My point was that if you are over 30 and not in the pros already, don't even try. I found it very comical that Melvin made such a comment.
