'Nobody swings the same, but they all get the same contact point and it’s cool to look at how other people do it and I’ve found my way that way.' Rising Canadian baseball prospect Owen Caissie focused on improving by studying elite hitters. | ShiDavidi

It was in the dugout during that March 12 game that baseball shut down, the initial word filtering out from coach Adam Stern. Even though the club had heard about Utah Jazz centre Rudy Gobert’s positive test the night before, Caissie’s initial reaction was disbelief.

Though he was "pretty heartbroken" as the team packed up and headed home, a dose reality hit soon after when word of a New York Yankees minor-leaguer testing positive filtered out. The Canadians were to play the Yankees on March 13 and "if we didn’t shut it down, it could have potentially spread to us.

A big part of that has been "hours and hours" of tee-work, leveraging the guidance and support he’s received from FieldHouse Pirates club team coaches Lee Delfino, the hitting co-ordinator, and George Halim, the director of player development. "If your plane score is good, you can technically never be late because you stay on the hitting path for the longest time, you can hit the ball to all fields," says Caissie. "But I normally go on feel off the tee when I’m not feeling it, that’s how I fix myself."

A four-day work week in Canada is viable by increasing productivity, report saysIf productivity increases by 2%, each year, between 2018 and 2030, the average Canadian worker could make more money, while having a three-day weekend The fact that our per-capita productivity has been increasing faster than compensation since the '70s leads me to file this under 'bamboozle'.
