Get this one a lot….wanting more power and wondering why it’s not there. This is a perfect example of landing really hard on the stride foot and coming off of the back foot. Back leg straightens and the head and body move forward. Causes him to be behind the heat and in front of off speed. That’s a bad place to be for a hitter. This young fella, at address, is in a nice position….with a softer stride and staying in that back knee, I do believe results will follow. Back knee bent throughout and swing ‘north’! Hope this helps…
