Steve Springer, the developer of an influential baseball statistic, is coming to speak at Park City High School on Wednesday, June 12. Park City High School baseball coach Dave Feasler and Skullcandy Crushers director Brent Milner are bringing Springer, who introduced the concept of the quality at bat (QAB), to Park City so local baseball players can hear his story of going from a non-starting high school player to playing 14 years in the minors, punctuated with major league appearances.

By counting long at bats, walks, hard hits and other qualities, players can form a better idea of whether their at bats were successful. Feasler uses the metric in coaching with the Miners varsity team. “It’s the main offensive metric we use to define success,” Feasler said. “For us it’s all about controlling what we can control and being present in each pitch.” Each year since Feasler has taken over, the Miners strive to earn 60 percent quality at bats over the season. They’ve come close, notching 58, 57 and 56 percent respectively over his tenure. Feasler said he uses the metric because players “don’t have to be perfect.” “I think it’s taken a lot of focus off of the individual, and made it more of a team focus. We have also run some numbers and if we get three quality at bats in a row, we’re going to score 90 percent of the time. Which, it’s a pretty simple message to the kids.” Springer said his message to those in attendance can be boiled down into one idea: “How do we get the right guy playing every day?” Springer said. Springer says each player has two sides: a confident player and an un-confident player.

Last month Kelly was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. In his role with FIS, Kelly had long been an advocate for the award to recognize journalists and broadcasters for their work in telling the story of the sport. He is the 19th American recipient of the award, which dates back to 1996. “This was quite an unexpected recognition and very much appreciated,” said Kelly. “I take great pride in the role I have been able to play with FIS through the PR and Mass Media Committee.” The award is presented each year by FIS to journalists and broadcasters around the world. The American recipients are a who’s who of writers, photographers, producers and broadcasters who have worked to bring stories of the sport to the public. While retired from his role at U.S. Ski and Snowboard, Kelly remains active in Olympic sport as a communications consultant and public speaker. Saturday, June 1, 2019 REGIONAL FORECAST FIVE DAY FORECAST FOR PARK CITY ALMANAC Park City statistics for the week ending May 30 The team needs the confident player to show up. “The biggest trap in baseball mentally is batting average,” he said. “I hit three balls right on the screws, right at somebody, and baseball says I suck. My batting average goes down, I think I’ve failed, and now the wrong guy starts playing.” Springer is hoping for a big turnout when he comes to town. “I know what I teach is right, and I don’t mean that boastfully,” he said. “I’m going to talk to your players the same way I talk to (Cardinals first baseman) Paul Goldschmidt; (Cubs utility player) Ben Zobrist.” The talk will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer session. Tickets are $75 for a player and a parent, and includes a “Quality At Bats” DVD and CD. To register, go to takeatripwithmichele.com/product-page/ steve-springer-in-park-city.
