Accelerate the barrel early
✅Turn it deep.
✅Sequence properly.
When the barrel gets on plane early and the body sequences well, you create bat speed and give yourself more time to adjust.
Early acceleration creates adjustability.
Disagreeing w/ @AROD is like a Car Mechanic telling a World Renowned Heart Surgeon, you don’t know how to operate on the Heart. Alex knows after you get separation, that’s how you start the swing. His lower half & gravity are a natural factor. This is how you create consistent, hard contact against high velocity & movement. Listen to the experts that have faced that type of pitching.

🚨 Matt Chapman : Pregame Routine
• Great look at the hours of prep that go on every single day at the MLB level.
• The intentional, focused & daily work separates good from great.

Follow your throw!
If you’re throwing far as an outfielder, it’s so important you follow your throw. Let your backside take you forward. It gives you more momentum + power and takes stress off your shoulder/bicep/elbow.
Here’s a great example of a little 8 year old doing just that at my clinic last weekend as well as and pro Jayda Coleman.
