The @Teacherman1986 Coaches Clinic was a huge success.  Coaches from around the country gathered to learn the drills, techniques, and progressions necessary to develop high level swings. 

Parents/Players – if you like what you see, you now have more access than ever to learn the High Level Pattern from specially qualified coaches in your area.  You will square baseballs like never before.  Reach out to reach your full potential.

And there are some who insist that’s “knob to the ball.” Incredible.

The hand pivot is one part of the swing

The rear leg pivot is the other part

Both are connected

Here’s how:

Here’s Judge’s Breakdown: 💣

Ready at Release- Feeling ready to launch at pitch release

On Around- Continuous Load on and around the rear leg (stretch)

*Oppo Launch- Keeping the approach and launch Oppo to allow the rear leg pivot

Out From- Keeping the tilt with the torso to allow the release of the barrel

Hotel Boredom: Truth is Truth. It doesn’t require your blessing.

Your swing can not be considered quick if you’re still applying force at contact.

A quick swing is done several frames before you hit the ball.

It is snapped instantly, quickly, and rearward into ‘autopilot’.

Both of these hitters are feeling the quick rearward flick of the barrel, that launches the swing and ends force production, before they actually execute it.

They can already feel what they are going to do if their decision is yes.

They must feel that before the pitch is thrown.

There is only one thing to do. They do the same thing every time.

[Ray Ramelli @rayramelli]

Most popular drill is the kickstand because it puts the hitter into an alignment over the rear hip. Which creates the quickest path to the ball

@danjaques96 @gritnj Not all.

Hand Pivot Point

The barrel starts above the hands. The speed works down the back.

The tighter the pivot point, the quicker the bat.

This right here👇

[Michael Eckstein @MikeEckstein_]

When you stop relying on momentum in your load you gain an incredible amount of control. Finding the coil and stretch up your back will allow you to launch your swing on command.

[Richard Schenck, The Heretic JFD PPP LQC TTE. 🙂 @Teacherman1986]

When you watch a big league game this season pay attention to the hitter’s belly buttons.

The greats: as soon as they swing the belly button turns completely. If it’s facing the plate at start it turns more than 90* instantly. The turn pulls the bat through.

The others: their belly button stops/slows when it’s pointed oppo, and the arms push the barrel forward and out run their body’s turn

It’s SO OBVIOUS here

Don’t talk to me about deceleration and rotation and core strength and connection when you’re using your arms to swing.

Analyzed all pitches in Will's scrimmage vid (FB, CH, CB; ~12 shown, velos est mid-80s avg from frames/movement). Arm slot est 35° (3/4, consistent).

Comparable: Ben Joyce (35° slot, high-velo).

Composite PA1 vs Joyce baseline (adj for HS/60ft):

- Arm Slot: 35° (match)
- Rel Pt Consist: High (low variance)
- Stride: ~83% ht
- Velo: 84 mph avg est
- Spin: est 1950 rpm avg
- Hip-Shldr Sep: est 55°
- Penalty: 0 (clean mechanics)

Tips: Build lower body power for more velo. Solid command! More vids?
