Snap it rearward into in arc. Parallel with the batter’s box line. Trust it. Swing explodes like a gun firing. Quickly, powerfully, and accurately. One swing that covers the entire zone.

@Teacherman1986 @Teacherman1986 100%. Mastering auto-pilot is a must. Create the arc. Let it go. Let it whip out from the body. Trust the arc will catch the ball within it.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

Way too many players have momentum dominant swings. You must learn to stretch & fire properly to be the best that you can be.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

The primary driver of confidence is certainty.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

High level technique improves quickness, accuracy, power, timing, and visuomotor zoning simultaneously.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

The meat & potatoes of the mental game is the skill of staying present. Keeping your attentional focus where it needs to be when it needs to be there. This is done through physical actions.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

Bat speed is very important. How the bat speed is created is much more important.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

Understanding what body part loads in the swing and what body parts do not load in the swing is VERY important.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

A swing that affords more time & more space for the barrel to work. The two most important things you can gain as a hitter with your swing technique. You must learn to dominate the details to maximize your potential.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

Dominate the details. The smaller the detail, the greater the value.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

@Teacherman1986 @Teacherman1986 Yep. I think if he pre-set the torsion spring a tick more in his set-up, he’d get it and not need so much forward momentum to get stretched.

@uTeeBaseball @uTeeBaseball lol. Judge & Ohtani are 2 all time greats right before our eyes. Tremendous combination of technique & athleticism. Privilege to watch.

@Teacherman1986 @sweetandownlow @Teacherman1986 100%. The mechanical advantage is the separator of a player’s ability to level up. Average to good. Good to great. So many players have more in the tank.

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

@Teacherman1986 @Teacherman1986 When the gears engage, it’s a beautiful thing. That is the gamechanger.

Elite Scap Action= Elite Barrel Depth

[Hitting Enlightenment @hittingenlight]

Proper Scap Action is CRITICAL. The musculature around the rear scapula must pin the Scap down to the spine and that must be MAINTAINED in order to use the pressure wave/torsion spring load of the rear leg.
