Wins his second Masters in dominating fashion and still doesn’t make it about himself. Waits for his caddie and lets him lead the way. A moment I’m sure he’ll never forget.
WE > ME
One of the best role models in sports.

As the college season has began I have been able to talk to some coaches about what they see going on with their hitters. Here are 5 takeaways I believe hitters may find useful:

If I am a young infielder I am not missing a Puerto Rico game this WBC. Watch how efficient they are with their movements. They play downhill, always on the attack. High energy, quick to congratulate each other, fun to watch. An absolute electric factory if you ask me.

I’ve always done this since I was a little kid. Guys used to joke around about how loud I would breathe out when I hit the ball. Interesting to hear A Rod talk about this. 40% power increase sounds kinda crazy though lol

Mookie Betts NL Player of the Month
Deliberate training that goes from:
Cage ➡️ On Deck ➡️ Game
You can see the moves he’s focusing on in the cage translate to the game
Year in year out, one of the best in the game. Learn from the best 🔑

Ali has one of the best swings I’ve seen in softball.
Up early giving herself plenty of time to get her swing off to go along with a great bat path that is adjustable to all fields.

Francisco Lindor has been my favorite infielder to watch since he came up with Cleveland. Here is a breakdown of why I think he is consistently one of the best infielders to watch in the MLB using Perry Hill’s 6 F’s of Fielding in my own words.

Every great hitter may not share the same exact approach or style as each other, however many of them share some similar moves in their swing.

Many people misunderstand the concept of the arc.
My first day with

I could not hit the machine. I was aiming at the ball resulting in a push. It was too slow. Rich calls it ball anxiety.
The second day I stopped worrying about the ball. Clip 1 led to clip 2.

1. The perfect swing will still not play in the game if it takes hittable fastballs for strikes early in the count and chases breaking balls in the dirt behind in the count. If you’re worried about what your swing looks like while you’re in the box it’s over.

2. You have 8 at bats in between yours to figure out what the guy likes to throw. What does he go to early in the count? What does he go to when he’s ahead? When he’s behind? With runners on? All of these give you insight on what you’re about to see. Use it to your advantage.

Shift then swing vs. swing the foot down.
Swinging the foot down from the backside allows him to stay behind the baseball and create launch quickness.
Major differences between the 2022 and 2023 swings.

2023: .347 AVG 1.062 OPS

3. Play chess not checkers. If you could hit every pitch in every location at any given time you would be in the big leagues right now. Stop hunting three pitches at the same time. With less than 2 strikes pick what you want to swing at. You may only get 3 AB’s. Why waste one?

4. Take what the game gives you. It’s called offense, but really you can only do so much with what you’re given. Every situation doesn’t call for the 3 run homer. Stay within yourself. Often times in baseball less is more. The more you try to force it, the farther away it becomes

I have talked about overthinking in the past, however I believe these are good things to think about. Leave the mechanics to the cage. You owe it to your teammates to place all the focus on winning the game. That’s all for now. Reach out with any questions.

5. My most memorable home runs occurred not because of the pitch I swung at, but the ones I chose not to swing at. There’s something to be said about being ahead in the count. Win the battle one pitch at a time.

Applying force towards the ball leads to higher chase rate and weaker contact. Tough to hit good pitching this way.
Applying force behind the ball creates a larger timing window and quicker launch. Let the bat run into the ball

The Happy Gilmore drill is great for teaching the hitter how to resist forward momentum and control their load, but I think most people do it wrong ❌

I think something that can get overlooked when watching this is how easy their arm actions are when throwing it off the wall. They are not forcing themselves to throw over the top. It’s loose and easy on the eyes. Many amateur infielders are missing this type of arm action.

Different strokes for different folks. I have been able to learn both of these training styles first hand. Figure out what works best for you. Pick up a bat. Experiment. Continue to learn.

The best thing to do in my opinion is watch game footage of great hitters. I have seen this guy play for 3 years now and he has raked every season. I believe he separates himself from the rest by:
1) Ready at Release
2) Launching from the rear leg
3) Launch quickness

Interesting stuff today on MLB Network. A big leaguer working on launching behind the baseball and seeing career changing results. But I thought it couldn’t hit the high pitch and only leads to pop ups and strikeouts?

Cool view of Alvarez using a back heel drop to establish rear leggedness into a short quick swing.
This could be a useful swing to look at for guys who want to adapt a simpler 2K swing.
