Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and others (Many Dodgers) might disagree since they have gone back to Driveline multiple times.
Dodgers are asking their players to go there...

Did Ohtahni and Betts need to and what changed in their already elite hitting?

Ohtahni used it for enhancing his health as he goes both ways, and pitching.
I saw others on the Dodgers who used this heading into the 2023 season and nothing changed. Gavin Lux, Taylor...

Their known for pitching, not hitting. Drive weighted training to increase bat speed and hit the ball harder and biometrics.

Didn't Snoot go there? :lol:
Yes, Driveline does both pitching and hitting. You could have mentioned Kershaw, who went there multiple times. Per the statement that a person can't attribute anything successful to Driveline, then the argument that you can't attribute player failure to Cardinal coaching is as valid an argument. If the argument is that you can't attribute any success in a player's development to any instruction or coaching, how about running Walker out there and seeing where the chips fall? He can have a laid-back off-season.
Lol.


Just proves my point.

CNt name hitters that have been transformed by Driveline.
You tried to make a point? I guess there is a first time for everything. I've listed the names of some MLB players who go to Driveline. A couple of MLB franchises send their hitters there. I'd suggest that these players wouldn't go there if they didn't think it helped their production. Then again, you seem to think that they willingly waste their time. You do you.

Correct.
Data informs.
It does not improve.
Improvement comes from first correctly analyzing data and then correctly applying it.
Until the Cardinals replace their entire coaching staff, the pursuit of data is a wasted effort.

I provide performance coaching for a living.
I know better than anyone that answers are always in the data.
But not the solutions.
The solutions are achieved only by properly understanding the data so that the correct plan can be developed - and then executed.
My job is to understand what the data establishes and then provide the corrective plan to clients.
I give the tools.
But they must be fully and properly applied.
Some are able to do that.
Some are not.
It requires both the right leadership and commitment from the individual.
The Cardinals clearly lack that on the part of The Marmot and staff - and it remains to be seen if the player lacks it as well.
