    Rebuilding the Approach at the Plate & Prepping for Veterans | Ep. 6
    Mar 12 2026
    Houston County head baseball coach Matt Hopkins explains how the Bears have started 11-2 while staying perfect in region play, then dives into the biggest adjustment: adding more structure at the plate to reduce strikeouts and manufacture runs.
