Bichette’s lower–half is the story of his breakout. Strong calves = balanced stance = line drives all over the field. A total 180 from ’24. Last year, two calf injuries sidelined Bo for over two months and his swing showed it. In 2025? His strength and timing are back, and the results are clear. Watching these small, game-changing details is why I love breaking guys down on Apple Friday Night Baseball with our MLB research team. Lesson for Players & Coaches: Don’t ignore your lower body. Leg strength drives your balance and power. For Parents: The difference between a good hitter and a great one? It’s often about the fundamentals you may not see. Including creating the foundation from the ground up. Your base, feet, calves, hips and direction of your stance. #BaseballLessons #PlayerDevelopment #Bichette #MLBBreakdown #YouthAthlete #CoachingTips
