This is a must-listen show, especially for youth coaches. Really enjoyed the most recent episode with Joe Barth. Quick question: he mentioned “The 9 Rules of Hitting” that major league teams lean on, but that Hall of Famers often break at least one of those rules… what are the 9 rules and what rules get broken most often by HOF players?
Lane has always been an amazing guy and this podcast is a great to see that. The knowledge and experience and passion he shares is amazing. I also love how vulnerable he is because that helps us as the audience relate. So I feel like baseball fan or not you can grasp something from this podcast and apply it to your life. Lane, your the man brother I’m so proud of what you have become.
