@YESNetwork @RealMichaelKay They’ve lost 13 out of 18 while he’s hitting like an MVP. The Yankees offensive player development is terrible.

He came in with a long sweeping shift then swing swing. First session: All tee work. Learning to swing. Hand pivot. Rear leg pivot. Stretch. Wall Drill. Command Drill. Flips. Mixed speed flips. Second session: Propeller tee. Propeller flips. Propeller Machine. Hack Attack

Most don’t understand the ‘ready at release’ concept. It’s because their mechanics are momentum based not stretch based. They have no suddenness to their launch. Therefore there is no such thing as ready, let alone a controlled ready. They sweep the bat through instead of

Incredibly important that you understand that the hips don’t rotate but instead the rear leg pivots. @MyTPI , you can learn @WIRED_Dev

A great example of excellence. Versus. What mlb teaches. Devers stays back on his rear leg as he moves forward like all the greats. He launches the bat from back by tilting the pelvis rearward . Derosa shifts his weight forward before launch. He rotates the pelvis and pushes

Yes yes yes no.Yes yes yes no.Yes yes yes yes. The difference between no and yes…….is the hand snap. Which means the hands are first at launch . Obvious to truth seekers.

On MLB net, Kerry said his weight is 100% back, he keeps his head over his back leg while reaching out with his lead leg and countering that move by pulling back with his back. I saw him the next day. Here’s a video. It’s all right here. SNAP!!

To not torque the handle into a rearward arc instantly at decision…. is to drag the barrel and create timing issues.

Learn to swing ‘out from’ your body not around it. Off center toss teaches it.

A different, more game like, one legged drill. You’ll reach your potential when you stop shifting weight before you launch the bat.

Every ball anyone has ever hit hard, happens because the bat head snaps out in front of the hands. The less the hands go forward independently the quicker the bat head will snap. This is a tremendous view of the body’s turn, driven by the turn of rear leg, taking the hands

Todays lesson. From Curtis Granderson and Aaron Judge. The underlying readiness. Created without movement. Turn your back on. Take the slack out of the rope. Then move. Then it will stretch.

I get asked this everyday, multiple times per day…. “What’s wrong with so and so’s swing?”. The answer is always the same…. He/She is not in position to swing when he/she decides to swing. They have to move first….then swing. Gleyber on the left could swing the entire

The game is hard. Really hard when you’re off. Weeks ago I posted this comparison. You can tell by watching which barrel will be shorter to the zone when released. The knob going up instantly is key.

A homer. Nice swing. He has 27 of them.

Jackson Merrill’s take. Aaron Judge’s take. Watch their rear hip sockets. Watch their barrels. Both are checking a swing because their loading was done. A swing was in progress. But checked. Both were launching from max coil of the rear leg. There is a snap of the rear leg

The Pause….at the top of the load…. is the stretch reaching its limit. It’s the control. It’s the anti-momentum.

Happy to discuss hitting with anyone. If you’re willing to show your work, ie video of you and your student’s swings, like I do, we can duke it out. It’s on. I’ll compete. Video will be the referee. It doesn’t lie. No one will be left in doubt. If not, bye bye. you’re blocked.

Your timing window includes a pause between full load and launch. The window starts with a pause. It means you’re waiting not rushing. If you swing the moment you get your full load, you’re rushing.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR ALL: The actual swing starts when the bat pivots about the hands. The great hitter’s bat pivots from/at their loaded handset. The others push or pull the bat forward, then it pivots. This video shows the difference very well.

This is an outstanding view of swinging ‘out from’ your body not ‘around’ your body. All great hitters swing ‘out from’. It also debunks the Cunha/Bleecker/farm board ‘across your body’ nonsense.

I’ve heard that Juan Soto wants to hit every pitch at the front edge of the plate or back. Not further forward. Of course we’re not always perfect with our timing but that concept is what creates high level swings. The ability to let the ball come into your swing instead of

Back muscles v arm muscles. If Jazz can find his back he’ll put up impressive numbers. He does good things. But has a two move launch. After decision he flips his rear arm then swings. That is totally unnecessary and upsets his timing. If he can get rid of that first move his

You must stop using your arms to power the bat forward. Until this move is part of your launch you will continue to use the arms.

This drill, done properly, forces many, if not all, of the absolutes to happen. The barrel must go parallel to the wall as it goes through the ball.

This swing of Gleyber Torres is one of the all time great swings. Up early. Under control. Waiting. Waiting. Snap!! From behind his rear leg. Money. He had a good year in ‘23. He took this swing consistently in ‘18/‘19 when he was money.

Most players don’t get ready to swing until they see the ball. They are ready to get ready. They aren’t ready to swing. Ready to swing means just that. You could swing any instant. You don’t need to move first. You don’t need to load some more. You can launch. If you are.

My aha moment was Sep 2006. I started posting about the snap the next day. So we are 18 years into the journey. The claim made in this video started the day after people realized Aaron was working with me. And has continued ever since. No amount of video that I’ve posted,

For @JLucroy20 , you know, the guy who has studied the swing for 27 years, and can recognize HLP and licks his chops as a catcher when an HLP hitter comes up to bat, because he knows the HLP holes……here’s a question for him. Is this an HLP swing?

Ball anxiety, needing exact pitch location before you can swing, is the biggest obstacle standing between you and your potential. It requires too much info, that takes too much time to process, which puts you in a compromised timing position. All decel teaching, all ‘get your

Weight back v weight forward. Tilt v rotation . Deep snap v forward push. Under v over. And…. save the excuses. Pitch location has nothing to do with the differences.

A very clear view of the timing technique of the great hitters. It’s called ‘Ready at Release’. He could actually swing at pitch release. It’s why “everything is in slow motion”.

Gleyber issue just jumps off the screen. His prior swing on the left. Current swing on the right. On the left he pulls back with his back muscles against his forward move to stay stacked, therefore he stays back as he rides the rear leg forward, keeps the weight back until

How by many times have you heard the leg kick causes timing issues? Anything done wrong will cause problems. This is the most extreme leg kick you could have. And it creates good timing. It’s his way of getting to the one legged launch position early. And his foot doesn’t have to

The pause without the pause is critical to timing. Trout is one of the best at it. If you’re swinging as soon as you get your load, you’re late.

It’s really simple. Ready at release. Control it. SNAP!! Hitting is so hard for those with poor mechanics. And so doable for those with high level mechanics.
