  • Not great for listeners

    I like Whit’s perspective on things and Lindsay is a decent host, but I feel like a LOT of times they forget that there are people LISTENING to this podcast - not watching it. There’s a fair amount of times each episode where I feel like I don’t get what they’re talking about because it’s much more geared towards people who WATCH it than those who just listen.

  • Game 6

    Allan MicolinoGreat meeting you after game 6. As I said to you the pod cast has really improved over the last 6 weeks. The chemistry between you two is excellent. Love the banter and

    Whitt’s perspective being and ex-MLB player is great. Keep up the great work.

    Love hearing from the players on a personal level and getting the inside scoop! I don’t love Lindsay on this pod unfortunately. All I can hear is her flirting and voicing silly comments to try to relate to the pro players. Otherwise, really enjoying this podcast!

Inside the mind of elite hitters with Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins | 6ix Inning Stretch

Inside the mind of elite hitters with Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: What is the core philosophy you use to tailor advice to different players?
He explains that there is no single technique that fits everyone; instead, he identifies each player's flaw, finds a cue or position to exaggerate the opposite, and adapts the instruction to the individual's strengths and weaknesses.
Inside the mind of elite hitters with Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: Walk us through your progression as a hitting coach, from the end of your playing days to landing with the Blue Jays.
Popkins outlines his non-linear path through multiple organizations, learning from a variety of coaches and methods, and ultimately integrating those lessons into a flexible, player-centered approach that prioritizes individual mechanics and strategic mindset.
