IT WASN'T GOOD enough.

Kyle Schwarber's first step didn't have the explosion his trainer, former pro football player Yo Murphy, wanted.

The drill consisted of Murphy calling out which cone the Chicago Cubs slugger should run to out of a square of four. After Schwarber switched directions three or four times, Murphy threw a tennis ball over his head, mimicking a fly ball. Schwarber's job was to track it down, but on this occasion, he missed. Murphy instructed him to do it again.
