Today, pitchers are taught to attack the top of the zone, which means hitters must train both planes. Without two adjustments within the same swing, you create holes.

We stay in the back leg and turn until release (throw/swing). In both throwing and hitting, the rear leg maintains force and internal rotation until the moment of release/contact. Back knee descends and internally rotates to activate the lat and drive the turn. The

At the end of the day, what matters most to me is helping athletes succeed and grow their confidence. My hope is that their hard work not only pays off on the field but also opens doors to scholarship opportunities that help them chase and achieve their lifelong dreams.

Fantastic work this summer, Riley!.
Summer stats:.AB 55 34 Hits AVG .618.7 2B, 2 3B, 3HR. My favorite stat is I only had 1 strikeout. @AcesSangillo built my swing with so much adjustability that I'm confident no matter the pitch location. @MattP7671 @CoachAMRobSB @PottsSteve @RaleySullivan @CoachScoone @brosully16.

1️⃣.Everyone talks about “staying on the backside”….but not enough people talk about the front foot and how much it impacts efficient rotation. 👣⚾️. 2️⃣.✅ The angle your front foot lands at can either unlock clean hip rotation or jam it up completely. ✅ Our body tends to.

✅ Why the HLP Method Misses the Mark and fails hitters how to move properly around center mass. High-level biomechanics research shows that elite hitters all organize movement around their center of mass (COM). When instruction ignores COM control and focuses on isolated.

Too many hitters today are stuck on the backside paralyzed by anti-forward movement cues and a flawed belief that rotation doesn’t exist or shouldn’t be trained. That mindset misunderstands how true hinge and coil work in the swing. Instead of teaching a functional.

Why “staying 100% back” hurts hitters and what to teach instead. I’m seeing more and more hitters come in who are stuck on their backside at foot strike and struggling because of it. The idea of teaching hitters to “stay 100% back” is well-intentioned (usually to stop lunging),.

Let the back knee start it. Feel pressure on the inside big toe and let the back leg and hip do the work. Don’t spin the foot let the hip turn it. Drive the knee in to create stretch and set your angle. When the leg goes, the upper body follows. #SwingTruth #StayGrounded.

Watching him run free along the shoreline, ears flopping and tail wagging, reminds me how simple joys really are the best. He’s made plenty of new salty, sandy friends and even tried to “catch” a few seagulls. #LBISurfcity

Leah’s footwork stays under control attacking the ball defensively and staying grounded in the box. Keep up the great work, Leah!.

Great having @LilaAlvarez07 & @SkyeDupre2025 in yesterday from the Rhode Island Thunder Softball Program!. The girls put in some serious work staying grounded in their legs, moving from the ground up, and working through their front side all the way to contact. Love seeing
