Every year I RT this on the day of the draft in order to cement its place in Bulls lore.

One of my favorite draft memories - the Bulls blacking out all the windows to ensure total secrecy before selecting Denzel Valentine and Paul Zipser.

A common issue when hitters are trying to lift the baseball is not that they are intentionally trying to lift with their chest.

It is usually a compensation that shows up when the hitter does not have a clear feel for how the barrel should create lift through contact.

Instead of turning behind the baseball and letting the hands work through the ball, the chest can start to climb, the posture changes, and the hitter loses some of the lower-half positions that helped create power in the first place.

That is the mechanical inefficiency we are trying to clean up here.

The goal is to keep the body in a stronger position behind the baseball while the barrel works through contact with direction.

The bottom hand helps the barrel get down and on plane. The top hand helps the hitter stay strong through contact and continue working up through the baseball after contact.

In this drill, the hitter gets a better feel for creating backspin without having to manufacture lift by pulling the body away from the ball.

Make contact in a strong position, then let the barrel continue working through the baseball with the top hand.

That is a much cleaner way to create lift without giving away the positions that allow you to hit the ball hard.
