My swing

I was actually hoping you could go frame by frame with it but do what you can.

bump...

Game swing?

I have no game footage if thats what you are referring to. Sorry.

It is tough just off of a tee, but I would like to see more of a load through the shoulders.

Plus you never look up where the pitcher would be. On tee work you want to try and make it as game-like as possible. I know it's very tough, but you need to always work on the entire swing and it all starts with seeing. If you arent used to tracking a projectile (in this case visualization needs to be used) it won't carry over to the field.

Again, these are two quick things I saw by watching the clip once. Can you provide game footage?

Thanks, I assume you mean closing the shoulders more before the swing. I dont have any game footage yet but could possibly get some later in the year.

BHS..I agree with Jon...need to practice like you play...you dont get to tee it up during a game...but if you cant get the hang of tracking a moving baseball off a tee try this trick I got in AA....the roving hitting coach had those of us who were having some challenges sit in the front of the bus or when we were riding in a car..pick out some small item on the roadway on the right (for me) and track it with our eyes and head motion....had to say what it was when it got in the hitting area...thought it was hokie but it started working...I started seeing rotation much earlier and stayed with it longer....you might give it a try next time Dad or Mom or a buddy is doing the driving.

Make sure your approach is the middle of the field......In the clip you are slightly pulling the ball....you also spin, which makes you vunerable to off-speed pitches (which is a bad habit)....use the tee in a hitting tunnel and try to wear out the back of the cage...and any other time for that matter...

Try to visualize yourself hitting the ball off the tee over the CF fence.......

If your approach is to drive the ball from gap to gap it will help hitting pitches in all locations...

LOW337....Bingo you got it right

Batter....Try to figure out why you put the tee so far up and hit the outside of the ball to LF on the ground.

COmmon novice swing

For starters, with your stride you are doing what Jeff Bagwell use to do.

One thing I did notice is you have the bat wrapped around your head.

If you can come to NorCal I can get you squared away in no time.
