Tyler Loclera, like many young players who gained their first capabilities at the Big League level, were all eyes and ears in just under three weeks, which he spent with Seattle Marinrs last season.
Internal: What should each of the four best prospects for sailors answer to
“This is a big experience in training,” said the 24-year-old first founder. “You are able to see what these guys do on a daily basis. You are able to learn a little about yourself, how you fit into the big leagues, learn from your mistakes and grow as a person. “
The 49 appearances on the slab he received is hardly a big enough sample to judge exactly what can be at the Big League level. His line from. As he acknowledged the emotions that come from the excitement of the situation, they came to him a little in his first few games, he knew who was on the plate and where he should be.
“It’s about choosing the terrain, swinging at the leaks you are comfortable to handle and drive it to the field, gap to the precipice,” he said. “When I go well, the ball rotates again, the acceptance is aggressive, the walks are up. Everything is just flowing. “
It flows into the plate. At the first base, it turns out that different flow is needed. Yoga Stream – which to Loclerar, was prescribed by the Infield Perry Hill coach. A greater surprise, he would not do it alone.
“We did it together because he told me he would not make anyone do something he was gone,” Loclera said.
Yoga pact
The 72-year-old Hill enrolled for yoga hours in Michigan, and his young student did the same near his home in Bell-Air, California.
“I thought it would just help his flexibility and extend things instead of being so muscular,” Hill said. “Works.”
“I think it has helped a lot,” Loclera said. “I am fascinating and as we call it a worse, rhythmic around the bag.”
The two registered each week or two during the extra season to see how the other is doing and whether the other is still doing it. They were, but with different levels of enjoyment.
“I just liked it to be a different way to work,” Loclera said. “It was about learning about your body, being fading, something I never took advantage of.”
Hill did not have the same enthusiasm.
“It didn’t work out for me,” he missed. “I didn’t get the same results.”

Locklear has bought and plans to browse the program during the regular season.
“It’s about being strong with your body,” he said. “He really focuses on himself and being in this state of Zen, they somehow preach there. This has helped me work on my breathing a lot and just somehow relaxing and I remain calm. “
Zen element, additional advantage for Locklear. His coach may also take advantage of Zen?
“I think he did it,” Locker said with a laugh. “He still yells and everything he does on the pitch, but said he was fading and moving well. So he was really pleased with it, he had a lot of fun. “
Really? Maybe not. When he was asked to summarize his yoga experience, Hill replied, “At the best of a case.”
So there is no Zen? No at all?
– No. Zero. I hated him, but he works for him, “Hill said.
This is important for Hill. What is good for the student should not always be useful for the teacher, as it is in the end. Hill’s award sees progress and for this purpose he saw the difference when he first looked at Loclera in Peoria.
“I saw him immediately and he saw him,” Hill said. “His body works as it should work.”

Where it takes Locklear, it remains to be seen. The first base for 2025 Mariners is currently busy, but things are happening in a season of 162 games. For a young player, the name of the game is to continue to improve and according to Hill Yoga should help.
The Loclera itself is a believer.
“Oh, I didn’t think, in or a lot of fan because I tried it before. And then I actually bought in it, I was really very pleased with how it went. “
