The rate at which the Chandler logo moves in comparison to the trail forearm in this clip says a lot

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

Trail arm mechanics in the swing are interesting. Humeral adduction, ER, forearm supination, and right side bend (RH Hitter) contribute to getting the barrel on plane. Some hitters use more of one move, many use a combination of all

[The Hitting Force @forcefulhitting]

Is that what Judge did here?

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

Great point right here. Attempting to imitate the barrels reaction to a prior position isn’t wise. The barrel will pitch back naturally if it’s set up to do so. Manufacturing this motion via rotating the upper arms or forearms (independently) is miss leading

@TJHannam10 You know it! Will be sharing new ideas/ thoughts on swing path

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

I love to see visuals like this. At no point in either arc is the knob and barrel moving forward at the same rate. I see a lot of drills currently that promote dragging the handle forward in an effort to maintain direction through middle. Not ideal

Statcast bat tracking -- Luis Arraez's swing on his opposite-field leadoff single vs. Fernando Tatis Jr.'s swing on his moonshot home run

Arraez: Low bat speed, short swing
Tatis: High bat speed, long swing

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

@hossjob Exactly! At some point the knob has to stop and exit towards the hitters pull side so the barrel can release properly and work through impact. I see a lot of “path work” drills and misconceptions about impact that inhibit this action

@TJHannam10 Back for the off season to chime in randomly on hitting related tweets 😂

Real deal right here ⬇️

[Perfect Game Florida @Florida_PG]

Macen Collura (‘26, LV) having a solid day at the plate with 2 base knocks including a loud triple down LF line. Strong athlete for size w/ good feel for barrel and juice to the pull side #EastMLK @PG_Uncommitted

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

Very talented Sophomore playing down in Fort Myers this weekend. Macen Collura, Faith Lutheran HS ‘26. Easy juice sitting 92+ EV tonight with a Baum bat. Have seen a lot of good HS kids over the years. This is one of the most impressive

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

@AVSCoach @MotorPreference What a detailed answer. Thank you for this response. Very cool

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

The swingaway was a staple in the garage lab. Circa 2013. I built this one off season because I didn’t want to be bothered when working on movement

[Hitting Research @hittingresearch]

Although this one is actually brand new out of the box, here is today’s old school hitting equipment trivia…

Anyone still hitting with one of these??

[K.C. Judge @KC_Judge]

Baller. Eyes on this kid. Put size on over the past year. Super athlete. Consistently barrels balls all over the field. + Runner

[macen collura @Macencollura]

Big things this summer 🙏🙏
