Had to hop on my phone to comment. I never played sports, but have a feel for many things in life. When I mess around batting I notice something. Baseball is a beautiful sport that always caught my attention. And I never understood the correct way of hitting. I praise players who deliver contacts, you will need men on base to score. And a prodigal baseball player knows that, and understand what it means to bat, adjust, read, feel and clutch (trust your instinct/kill the ball). Simple terms, what has basketball become? A game of offensive plays, or 3’s?

What this should be called is the evolution of striking out, being that MLB has been setting strike out records almost every year, while at the the same time changing dozens of rules to make hitting easier. MLB is terrible.

Aside from the female form, and maybe a classic muscle car, there is very little on this earth as beautiful as a nice swing, especially those left handed hitters out there. Well, there might be a few of there things I’d place ahead of a great swing, but it’s a beautiful thing.

I never played baseball past HS but hit fairly well. I stayed comfortable and confident and swung at fastballs early in the count! Knowing nothing about softball, I’ve instilled this into my daughter. She has never been to a batting coach. She is tearing through 18u showcase pitchers at 14 years old. I watch all these travel ball dads invest thousands and thousands of dollars instead of investing a little time and common sense advice and they wonder why they aren’t having any luck.

@maverickcheston8874Ай бұрын
Robinson Cno, Nelson Cruz, and Alfonso Soriano had some of the best swings ever. The way Robinson Cano created his rhythm and whip on his swing was so smooth and effortless and absolute perfection! Then the way Nelson Cruz maintained bat path on his swing made him a great hitter. Then ole Alfonso Soriano who looked like he was swinging a log at the plate and was the best at creating lift on contact and using his legs to create that lift and launch. All different swings and great hitters!

Cano had such a beautiful tempo. Agreed! Soriano swing with that log piece was a wonder. Loved watching him at the plate.

What a great video! I am 56 years old and i still enjoy hitting. I go to the batting cages every chance I get. Years ago my batting cage that i went to had a curve ball machine , i can make contact in the fast ball cage but i looked foolish in the curve ball cage. It was 12 to 6 just like you described. I had to force myself to swing lower than what my mind was telling me too just to make contact. Pitch identification is truly the key. Get ready to hit the fastball then make adjustments from there.

Imagine a FB that you get middle in and think about making perfect contact with the pitch where you drive it to the pull side gap. Imagine where the contact on the ball was made. Your body position at point of contact. That’s staying inside the ball. The opposite would be where you make contact on the ball when you hit a weak roll over.

Great video ! Too many coaches forget that unless a youngsters fundamental swing is just totally screwed up, it doesn't matter what you tell them to do if it's uncomfortable...feeling comfortable in the box is huge ! And I think you made a great point with "Semantics"...to me, "getting on top of the ball" didn't mean swinging at the top half...my goal was always to hit the ball hard consistently and you accomplish that by A) Making sure each AB you get at least one pitch in a zone where you consistently crush the ball B) Getting barrel to ball as quickly as possible and keeping the ball "Barrelled up" thru your entire swing. Again, "getting on top of the ball doesn't mean you're "chopping down" on the ball. To me, and maybe this is just me, I always felt most comfortable "Throwing my hands" ( and the barrel ) at the pitch...and the quickest way to do that ( for me ) was throwing the bat from my back shoulder at maybe a 30 degree downward plane ( depending on pitch location ) and as my front foot hits and I "pop" my hips the swing would level out ( actually with a slight upswing ) naturally ! That's what felt most comfortable to me. BUT...I was weird. I switch hit and unlike most switch hitters I had totally different stances, set - ups and timing mechanisms between Lefty and Righty. I was mostly a pull hitter, with a lot more power Lefty, I struck out more Lefty ( but my swing looked prettier doing it than Righty, LOL ) Righty, I was more of a line drive hitter with gap power that hit to all fields and didn't strike out much. I never tried to figure out why I was so different Righty vs Lefty...as I said, I just did what felt comfortable. I guess if I had to sum it up quickly...Righty, I looked like a Charley Lau disciple, Lefty, I looked like a Ted Williams "Science of Hitting" student. But again great video !

I grew up a Ken Griffey Jr mark as a kid, had his shoes, had his jersey, had his cleats. I modeled my entire game after him. I didn’t have the power like him as a kid but I could hit for average and if you left one hanging because I copied his swing I could send a ball flying out of the park on occasion. The Kid.
