CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – Pinch Hit Friday #32: Variability, Random Practice, and Youth Development

About the Author: Eric Cressey

This week’s Pinch Hit Friday podcast is now live. In this episode, I talk about why variability is a bell curve that’s particularly challenging to manage in a sport like baseball that, at times, demands so much precision. Learn about random vs. blocked practice and what long-term athletic development strategies parents and coaches can employ with youth baseball players.
