Looking to identify the swing components that all great hitters have in common. Not claiming my content is original just attempting to piece it all together.

We have over complicated hitting #shegone nation. Too many so called experts trying to profit off of naive people and push their newly discovered cheat codes. I am often asked about my hitting theories by people who believe that there is some magic pill to being a good hitter.

Love this from Jerry! The catcher takes more ownership of the report, and the pitchers see a guy willing to put the work in on their off day. Learn from the best catching coaches in the world at #CatcherCON25 Dec. 12-14, Nashville, TN. https://t.co/C8C5FZG3sl

https://t.co/41eUMdloW2 Truth be told, Tm had to have stolen that move from Ralph Kramden. Also, Ichiro didn't do what Tm said. He coiled his back hip, but he also utilized forward momentum and ground force.

It’s wild how many self-proclaimed “hitting experts” talk like they’ve cracked the code but can’t explain how the body actually works. The problem isn’t confidence it’s ignorance. Most of what they teach is built on misunderstanding natural movement. Tilt isn’t an upper-body move

HOF Mike Schmidt top hand/arm extension on a pitch up in the zone. Schmidt wasn't one-legged. Contrast with Aaron Judge.

@JdotLaw21 @theswingman444 @forcefulhitting @shegone03 @RVGDag @TheKineticArm @SalMarinello @ChrisNowak83 @Fiveframeswing @OldBoiStudios @gringo_plakata All sounds great but it's a hoax. The numbers don't lie. https://t.co/GwYHe8Mq38
@uTeeBaseball @Teacherman1986 Speaking of principles again. @KenCherryhomes Isnt the barrel suppose to get up to speed behind your head and smash the catcher on top of the head. Now I’m no video expert but. I know I can read n count numbers. Why’s his bat going faster at the ball?

My JUCO coach used to say “When you’re struggling at the plate, keep your hands up and work down. 99.9% of the time you’re missing under”

There is no issue here. This is textbook. Outfielders are taught to immediately throw their hands up in this situation. If they went for the ball it’s played as live.
Clearly this ball is lodged under the padding. By rule it’s a ground rule double. It doesn’t matter if he can easily pick it up. It’s the rule! The fact that you lost your bet on @DraftKings or @FanDuel doesn’t mean 💩💩 Call 1-800-GAMBLER if you think it’s a conspiracy against

Talking about guts? Would you want George Springer on your team? I'd take him any day. If you ever had an intercostal strain, you know they hurt, especially when you try to swing.

“The single most important thing in hitting is getting a good pitch to hit.” - Ted Williams So, is it the chicken or the egg? Do hitters swing at better pitches because their swing feels sharper + they have more belief? or.. Do hitters hit better because they swing at better

What did I say?
@MLBNow Trey Yesavage, since he is pitching Game 1, and maybe Game 5. The Bo Bichette dilemma is second.

SNAPSHOT: OCTOBER 29, 1952 — Capt. Ted Williams of the Red Sox and Cleveland Indians outfielder Capt. Bob Kennedy team up in the same Marine Corps flying squadron. The two had just returned from maneuvers in Puerto Rico, where they flew their F-9F Panther Jets in close ground

Separation : key to bat speed. It will allow you to delay your hands and make adjustments if needed. #SwingToDoDamage #thehittingvault
