Can you analyze my swing..

What is your age.

are you in college? You have a very good BP swing.

Bob

Thank you Bob,

I'm 19, I was playing fall ball for my local community college. But had to stop due to family issues.

You should go to the MLSB tryouts.

Open the MLB web site.

Also complete a profile on our web site <www.goodwillseries.org>

Bob

What type of program is that sir?

check this "link" for the MLSB camps.

Thank you very much for that information sir, I will look into that. I see that information for the tryouts, will not be available I'm guessing until later april. Are there any other suggestion that you can provide that will help me with my swing?

your bottom half can be more explosive and on some swings you seem to shift THEN swing..you have a decent swing not sure you are major league ready though..Good luck to you Choctaw,you have some good stuff happening

This is probably one of the better swings I've seen on here. You've got a pretty decent lower body action, though I've yet to look at it frame by frame. The thing I would work on right now is pulling back with the lower back. If you can feel a hip coil (i.e. a dynamic rotational moving of weight), then you're halfway there.

Work on pinching the scap. And turning the barrel. Try to break the handle in half. Honestly, go ahead and try it with your hands. Do it towards the dugout.

Thank you everybody for the feedback, it's really helping me to gain a better swing.If it was possible though, you "Low Finish" please explain more on the breaking the handle in half towards the dugout?

finish go back to the other hang out and revisit the corner thread,,look at bm's explanation of how the right hand turns.he draws the lines on the right hand knuckles and shows the hand rotation..this promotes dump in my opinion.

Thank you both

BM is promoting top hand swivel. This drill and the "barrel dump drill" are designed to feel the action of one gear working against another. Let me provide a better clip for our friend ChoctawTaylor (who has a very nice American Indian reference in his ID)



Admittedly, there are some things I would change with the demo, but I think it's OK in showing the action.

I thinks thats swing builder in the clip either way ..the clip i'm referring to is the "corner" clip..it was a close up of the top hand only.BM drew lines on the top knuckles which were vertical and facing the catcher showing them turning to horizontal facing the pitcher..thats the desired move imo.

i've been looking over there for it for a day now..lol..its just the top hand with lines drawn across the vertical top knuckles and how they turn to become horizontal in the front..i thought it was in the corner thread BUT i cant even find that one,,it shows the top hand and how it HELPS turns the barrel while causing the elbow to drop naturally.gets you quickly in the "palms up" position

Thank you all for the awesome information.. I'll take everything and apply it the next time at the cages

How everybody doing, I had a chance to take some hacks today, and just wanted y'all input on my swing. I adjust acouple things, since the last video. Thank you very much, as every comment is very much appreciated.

the swing looks pretty good bro. Any swing can look good or bad in the cage, it all depends on once you get out on the field and start getting consistent at-bats and C-O-M-P-E-T-E!!! that's the beauty about baseball... there isn't one exact right way to do anything.

btw lovin' the old man up there in khakis and collared shirt taking some hacks with a noodle in a living room...or whatever he's doing
