Archives - Episode 79 - Designing an Offensive Machine with Matt Bragga, Tennessee Tech and Tom Eller, Harford CC

Baseball is easy – score more runs than your opponent and you win. But there is a recipe for building your offense and we connected with two coaches who have consistently placed their programs at the top of offensive columns: Matt Bragga, head coach at Tennessee Tech University and Tom Eller, head coach at Harford Community College. Both coaches are having tremendous seasons so far. Bragga’s offense is ranked first nationally in multiple categories including 11.5 runs per game. Eller’s leads the country with 194 stolen bases and also walks. Inside this show, we pull back the curtain on what truly goes on inside the cages and batting practice, the inner details of what’s being taught and the language that drives each unique culture. We also explore constructing a lineup, which is different for both coaches, plus the statistics that they pay attention to that provide the true glimpse into who is producing inside their offensive group. This is yet another ‘take feverish notes’ episode as both Bragga and Eller offer up drills, ideas, concepts and specific batting practice routines and competitive situational routines that should find their way into your practice plans.
