Hitting

Bat path profiles understand what external cues you may need to think. A hitter who's super pushy and guiding the ball thinking opposite field could be detrimental. A hitter who's super flat coming off the ball too quickly that could be great for him.

Eyes + Head position @ contact. The 🔑 to true backspin

"Work off the back shoulder." Is a cue we use all the time. It works. It's approachable. Players get it.

ARCHING YOUR BACK AT CONTACT?⚾️

Reposting my 2020 “Try it OR Trash it” – we don’t care either way, but this fix has worked for us for over 10 YEARS!

This hitter only spent 10 minutes on it and felt the difference.

The Problem:

Arching your back at contact = a steep swing,

When working with remote hitters, it’s all about tailoring the plan to their specific goals and movements. Here’s a sneak peek at how I broke things down for a player on Seamsup App who wanted to hit more pull-side…

Good posture = Better swings! 💪⚾️

Getting into good posture and staying there through your turn is the secret to keeping your barrel in the zone longer

Stay in posture, stay in the zone, stay consistent every at-bat! 🏆🔥

One of my favorite progressions to keep your bat path north to south. Doesn't allow you to come across the zone. Still trying to hit the back of the net with true ball flight. Hitting thru it.

Closed off, heavy balls. One of my favorite ways to teach proper posture. Keeping the chest over the plate. Emphasis on keeping the head and eyes down over the plate. This keeps us over the baseball, not allowing us to spin to the pullside.

The back elbow tells a story—trace its path, it can train your eye as a coach.

Teo HR. This flat barrel tip might be good for some hitters.

By far one of my favorite barrel delivery, swing path feels

“Make it feel like you bend the pipe + make it flex”

It gets the top hand to deliver and bottom hand to stop pulling knob

Then mesh feeling with full swing ￼

Video I made for one of my remote hitters today, thought id share with everyone!

Problem: “I can’t stay in my legs, I keep standing up in my swing.”

Solution ⬇️⬇️⬇️

An impromptu demo for a young guy that asked how he could load a little bit more-  this is simple, yes you can do it other ways and complicate the hell out of it, but this is the easiest way I’ve found to get young hitters better at controlling it.  Don’t like it, Don’t try…

- Short Bat
- Barrel Load Heavy Bat
- 37” Long Trainer

Then a few open-side game swings 🫣

Wyatt Langford at contact 🔥 

Great example to show hitters   

- "Get behind the ball"
- "Square up behind the ball"
- "Strong at contact like you're hitting a tire"

Training front leg stability so we can get into our front side efficiently. If we are unstable, you'll see hitters come up out of posture. The front leg is critical for ground force. Want to use the ground better? Learn how to compress the upper body into your lower half.
