Tell me what you guys think


First pitch is a single to right field....next 8 are of an at bat which ended in a weak line out to right....last three are of an at bat which ended with a pop out to center

Okay! It looks to me like your hips are late and your front arm is disconnected. It also looks like you slowed your swing down on the curve ball. You have to do the opposite on off speed, wait longer and swing faster.

What do you mean by my front arm disconnecting? How could I fix it, or what could I say to myself to fix it?

Everything just seems so long forcing you to be slow.

It's coming away from your body way before contact. Practice on a tee first holding a towel under your left arm pit. It should not fall until you are fully extended toward the pitcher or the towel moves in the direction of the ball. I'm talking about a rolled towel. If the towel falls out early, you are disconnecting too soon. If you want to spend some money, you can order John Cohen's DVD on hitting from the University of Kentucky website to see this and 39 other hitting drills being taught and performed.
