Youth Softball is Way Behind

Can Hear It Now 😂
“You swing like a baseball player”
“Quit uppercutting”
“Swing down to the ball”
Is she dipping the back shoulder a little? Maybe
Is this path a little more uphill then I’d like? Sure
But do her hands stay high majority of the swing? Absolutely
Does she use her hips for the power? 100%
Did this swing hit .395 with 103 HR at the D1 level? You betcha
There are many ways to hit… swinging down on the ball, hand heavy swings, and having your weight diving into the front foot is not what 99% of elite hitters do consistently in their swing
Some mechanical things all great hitters do…
Loading into the back hip and glute
Using the ground and having a good lower half
Hips, torso, hands, barrel is the sequence
Hands working above the ball and beginning to work uphill by contact
Barrel flipping/getting in the zone roughly even to the shoulders
Posture/balance slightly back and slightly over the plate at contact
Ability to hold finish and ground contact through strong front leg
Practice the things that all great hitters do while mixing in your own personal style to it 🤙🏼
