Anytime the top of the bat almost points at the pitcher during stride, thats a long way to go to catch up with velocity. Abbreviate the load a bit. Get him to think thru the centerfield wall, not over it. That will allow front elbow to go more directly to the ball. He has a bit of an arm bar (straightening) of that elbow, which also is slowing him down. Hope it helps…
@SeanTPendergast@SethCPayne@SportsRadio610 Up, of course. Give the debris an opportunity to fall, and not get clogged in the bottom of the silverware holder thing-a majiggy.
@ClintStoerner I have a rule with my boys. If they can't prove to me that they can put the "oven mitt" on in less than 15 seconds, they can't use it in a game. We're too aggressive on the base paths to have my base runners looking like they're struggling to pull a hot pie out of the oven!😆
Phil Garner was a delightful man.
A fabulous story teller,
and a baseball guy's baseball guy.
