The off-season break should have given players the mental and physical chance to clear the mind from last season and come back hungry for the next season. The best part of the baseball season start is that players have not put any bad baseball swings into their system for a while.

This article subjectively covers my best baseball posts and the must read baseball articles of 2016. The worst of the year articles will be forgotten.

Join former Big Leaguer Jack Perconte and Sam Zagorac, owner of Diamond Edge Academy in Willowbrook as they talks all things baseball. No softball or baseball question is too basic or too complex for these long time coaches. If you like what you hear, send questions and tell a friend about these podcasts and thanks for listening. This episode was taped in the spring of 2016 when it looked like both the Chicago White Sox, one of Jack's former teams, and the Chicago Cubs were going to contend for the World Series. We all know how that ended up. Anyway...

The preseason baseball time of year seems to begin earlier each year, and I am not talking about major league baseball. The offseason for youth baseball leagues has diminished over time to where preseason baseball training starts even before the major league teams do. That may be unfortunate, but it is what it is, and everyone must prepare for the upcoming spring training and baseball season.
