Your focus was too deep because you were trying to stay back. Once we moved contact out front, the load cleaned up, you gathered better, and you created time. Staying back doesn’t mean staying stuck. The party is out front. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

Delay the hands so you can deliver the barrel. If your hands get exposed too early, you lose force and get stuck. Let the shoulders work, stay connected, then deliver from a strong position. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

You can’t think in the swing box. If you need to gather yourself, step out, reset, and get one simple thought. Then step back in and compete. Mechanics happen in the think box. The swing box is for reacting. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #approach

Off to a great start to the summer with @KNIGHTS_BASEBTN batting .474 and going 16/16 on total chances playing 3rd base. Love this group!

You’re flaring your ribs and pushing your hips in. That pulls your chest and shoulders away from the ball and creates that steep move. You don’t need to manipulate the barrel. You’re already in a good spot to swing from, so swing from it. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

It’s controlled violence. You need intent, not just contact. When your miss hits are harder than your best swings before, you’re in a good spot. That’s where confidence comes from. You know they don’t have a pitch to get you out. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

You don’t need multiple swings. Build one swing with small variations. Your goal isn’t moonshot home runs, it’s driving balls in the gap. Hit the ball hard in the air and let it play. Doubles and speed win for you. Don’t chase home runs.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

Don’t let Trackman be your first answer. You don’t have it in the dugout. Feel the swing, read the ball flight, understand your tendency, then use the data to verify. Data should confirm what you feel, not replace it. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

You train to make hitting easier, so stop treating your swing like a max-effort lift. If you’re strong and move well, use it. Hitting is a skill. Work with less effort, more control, and let the training show up in the box. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

Catchers understand this better than anyone. The same pitch you’d call a “good pitch” in the bullpen should be a good take in the box. Not every strike is your pitch to hit. Know what you can drive and let the rest go. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

There’s a difference between staying back and hanging back. Your toe tap is fine, but after it you’re getting stuck instead of transitioning forward. Keep the move, but let it explode through the ball. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

Pull side offset forces you to fight the urge to clear early. Keep the shoulder tucked, resist rotation, and work down the line. The feel may be more vertical, but it helps you rotate less, tilt more, and stay through it. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

Not every sport has to be a full commitment. Kids don’t always need another structured team. Sometimes they just need to play. Pickup games, church league, street hockey, backyard baseball. That’s where athleticism gets built too. Follow The Hit Lab for more.

The Hit Lab is a hybrid training facility built for what you need. 1-on-1 lessons, group training, remote coaching, team training, onsite sessions, hitting, pitching, and catching. If you’re ready to train, we’ve got you covered. DM “HITTING” to get started.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

Keep your hands in front of your chest. When they get pinned behind your ribs, the swing gets stuck. I don’t care if they move, just don’t let them disappear behind you. Feel the hands work in front so the barrel can release. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.

[Joey Lewis @TheHitLabLLC]

Water is the baseline, but feeling fueled changes everything. Energy, focus, and how you show up in training all improve when your body is actually supported. For athletes, recovery and preparation matter just as much as reps. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.
