Started by KW as a Twitter chat back in 2012, we decided to turn it into a segment on KWB Radio moderated by @FerraroOnAir. Our listeners submitted hitting questions to #KWBchat on Twitter and Joe has chosen the best questions for @KWBaseball to answer in this value-packed episode. Sit back, grab a pen and paper and dive into the world of #GoodBatting!

1. How do you teach players the value of personal responsibility vs. the necessity of having a ‘short memory’?
2. What does it mean to ‘hit to the scoreboard’?
3. What are some drills that you think every hitter should do to elevate their game?
4. What are the best qualities of a professional manager?
5. What are your thoughts on bunting?

EPISODE 55: #KWBchat Special Edition

We have a special guest for this week’s episode! In addition to @KWBaseball answering hitting questions that were submitted via #KWBchat on Twitter, his son Braydon reveals what he and his teammates want the most from their coaches. There might be a lot of coaches looking in the mirror after listening to this episode!

1. When you first start working with a hitter, once you listen and hear what they have to say about their swing/approach, where do you go from there to help them be the best versions of themselves?
2. How do you maintain composure when you’re behind in the count?
3. What would be your one piece of advice for young hitters?
4. How do you help a young hitter who swings and misses a lot in batting practice?
