    The 80/20 Podcast is one of the most educational baseball podcasts I listen to. It’s been extremely helpful for my coaching, especially in how it simplifies the game and focuses on what truly matters. The ideas are clear, practical, and easy to apply at any level.

  • Good podcast about baseball

    Good to hear a coach talk about something that’s not pure velocity. I played with him a summer in AK and dude is a smart guy and obviously knows what he’s talking about. Thanks for the content Bo!

  • Very frustrating to listen to

    The flow of the discussion sounds like a bad tick tok video, without video… good content, but very annoying recording style, seizure inducing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#335 - Speed Training w/ Coach Pendergraft of Speed Training Co.
Q: What's the role of mental components in speed training for youth athletes?
Emphasize body awareness and coordination; the brain needs to learn to cue the muscles efficiently, so cueing drills that connect movement to intent helps athletes sprint with better form and speed.
#335 - Speed Training w/ Coach Pendergraft of Speed Training Co.
Q: How do you fit speed training into a short practice window (10-15 minutes)?
You structure a tight sequence: a dynamic warm-up, short accelerations or flys, then quick, high-quality ground contact drills and a few controlled plyometric or elastic jumps, keeping volume modest to avoid overtraining while maximizing quality reps.
#334 - Increasing Our Player's Speed w/ Coach Pendergraft of Speed Training Co.
Q: What would be a good or recommended speed test for a 12-year-old team to gauge their players' speed?
Two reliable tests are the 10-yard dash and the 20-yard fly (which includes a 10-yard build-up and 10-yard fly). Together they help estimate acceleration to max velocity and actual sprinting speed, with adjustments based on age to ensure the tests are developmentally appropriate.
#331 - COACH CHAD JACOB SHARES SOME EXCELLENT HITTING TIPS w/ US!
Q: What is your priority order when evaluating swing mechanics?
The host asks for a structured checklist, and Chad emphasizes lower-half movement first, then how long the barrel stays in the strike zone, and finally maintaining a consistent path through the zone.
#331 - COACH CHAD JACOB SHARES SOME EXCELLENT HITTING TIPS w/ US!
Q: What are some of the more common swing mistakes in young hitters?
The guest explains that the key issues are often mental rather than purely mechanical, with hitters assuming they have a problem and needing to develop better in-game thinking and self-evaluation.
