One way to maximize your training and your ability to rotate is to build your training progression from the most general environment to the most skill specific environment.

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

Baseball is a rotational sport. However we can’t rotate just to rotate. There are efficient and inefficient ways to create rotation. ⁠

@hossjobhitting

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

Like anything, we want to attack rotational training from several fronts. ⁠

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

This allows for greater transfer of energy and the ability to hold tension while moving, increasing adjustability to off speed pitches.

Lance put in the work and transformed his swing, can’t wait to see what he does next.

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

When the back foot heel has a good relationship with the back hip hitters can control their forward with the backside. This can help with proper timing in launching their swing.

@LanceWhitaker99 @hossjobhitting

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

When tension is created and held in the back hip, back hamstring, and rear leg adductors (inner thigh) hitters can ride that back hip out longer. Pair this with the ability to plant the lead foot with a firm but flexed front knee and hitters can ride out the front leg.

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

How well can you time up the ball?

@hossjobhitting

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

Until you get to two strikes, you are in the drivers seat. ⁠

Take advantage.⁠

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

He’s put in the work and is now one of the hardest-hitting 8th graders in the world.

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

At the beginning of 7th grade, Lance came to us hitting in the low 70s. By the end of 7th grade, he had reached the low 90s, touching 94 mph and playing on varsity.

@LanceWhitaker99 @hossjobhitting

[The Hit Mill @TheHitMillSC]

Now, at the end of 8th grade, he consistently hits balls in the mid-to-upper 90s and has touched 100 mph a couple of times.
