Start a season to see your coaching briefing.

Bring this to practice

Improve a need. Protect a strength. Keep building the fundamentals.

No supported findings in this group yet. That does not mean every skill has been assessed.

Keep developing

Steady skills to build through regular practice.

Strikeouts with two strikes

40%

How often a two-strike count turns into a strikeout.

Enough to guide practice

72 of 180 observed opportunities

Why it matters: A two-strike plan gives hitters a way to compete without abandoning their approach.

Next practice: Use 0-2 rounds and distinguish called third strikes from misses before choosing a cue. Rehearse recognition rather than telling every hitter to swing at everything.

See evidence

72 of 180 observed opportunities · 6 players measured

Strikeouts do not identify chase or a mechanical fault without the pitch evidence.

Age-based performance targets do not apply to this age group. Use the recorded context and practice plan without a grade.

Check afterward: Review the next recorded games using the same count definition and show the counts beside the rate. One better game does not establish improvement.

LENS count-context research · Professional count-context research; not youth cutoffs or a validated drill prescription.

Practice suggestions are GameLense coaching guidance; the measurement does not diagnose a cause.

Runs scored after walks

0.13 per inning

Runs opponents score after getting on base with a walk — free runs.

Enough to guide practice

15 runs scored after walks in 120 innings

Why it matters: Runs scored by walked batters connect free passes to recorded scoring.

Next practice: Review how the walked runners advanced. Pair command work with the fielding or running-game assignment actually involved.

See evidence

15 runs scored after walks in 120 innings · 6 players measured

The walk-origin run is an outcome of the inning; it does not assign every subsequent mistake to the pitcher.

Age-based performance targets do not apply to this age group. Use the recorded context and practice plan without a grade.

Check afterward: Review the next recorded chances, including outs and safe outcomes. Compare like situations; do not treat a small change in batting average as a proven skill change.

More recorded observations · 3 areas

Use these measurements with their coaching context and practice checks. A descriptive rate alone does not establish a strength or weakness.

Swings at the first pitch

51%

How often your hitters swing at the very first pitch.

Context to review · not a performance grade

123 first-pitch swings in 240 plate appearances with pitch sequences

Why it matters: The useful decision is whether to attack a hittable first pitch, not how often to swing.

Next practice: Use the existing first-pitch attack-zone round: choose a hittable zone before the pitch, then reward a swing in that zone and a take outside it.

See evidence

123 first-pitch swings in 240 plate appearances with pitch sequences · 6 players measured

Neither higher nor lower is automatically better. A swing percentage alone never triggers a swing-more or swing-less recommendation.

Use the recorded context and the practice check below. This measure alone does not trigger a good/bad judgment.

Check afterward: Observe missed hittable strikes and swings outside the chosen zone. Read the game swing rate alongside taken first-pitch strikes; pitch location is needed to assess decision quality.

Batting average with runners in scoring position

.293

Hitting with runners in scoring position — the at-bats that turn baserunners into runs.

Context to review · not a performance grade

44 of 150 observed opportunities

Why it matters: RISP at-bats are opportunities to turn existing runners into runs.

Next practice: Use situational batting practice with runners on second or third. Keep the pre-pitch plan consistent and rehearse the contact decision for the outs.

See evidence

44 of 150 observed opportunities · 6 players measured

Batting average excludes walks and productive outs. It cannot grade a hitter’s composure or all scoring contributions.

Use the recorded context and the practice check below. This measure alone does not trigger a good/bad judgment.

Check afterward: Review the next recorded chances, including outs and safe outcomes. Compare like situations; do not treat a small change in batting average as a proven skill change.

MLB: batting average · Metric definition only; no youth performance target.

Batting average in high-pressure situations

.376

Hitting in the game's biggest moments — close and late, runners on.

Context to review · not a performance grade

32 of 85 observed opportunities

Why it matters: A repeatable routine helps hitters approach close-game opportunities with a clear plan.

Next practice: Rehearse the same pre-pitch routine in ordinary and late/close scenarios. Review the decision before the result.

This split is not evidence of a stable clutch trait. It can overlap RISP at-bats.

Use the recorded context and the practice check below. This measure alone does not trigger a good/bad judgment.

Check afterward: Review the next recorded chances, including outs and safe outcomes. Compare like situations; do not treat a small change in batting average as a proven skill change.
