10U Swing Help

[_MIA_]

And eFastball, that's funny(not really) because I have actually taught her to put her bat like that, I saw somewhere, or heard that it will make it much quicker to bring it around since it is already flat. So quicker and easier to get on the plane of the pitch. But with all the places these tips are taking me I can see it's more of an arc...

Make sure you look at HL swings before making any changes (suggested or otherwise) to make sure they match up with what you see...and for the love of God fix the leveling (inside joke....)

Yes, the movement pattern Shawn is pushing works but not what the best in the game are doing.. "Swing is the shift" shift is the slowest movement of the swing so I would focus on getting the shift out of the way before starting the swing. This is what slows the ball down for hitters.

This is really helpful guys. I have researched a lot of this stuff and see drill after drill but never am quite sure of myself. I am glad I finally put this video up to get some insight. I will continue to work with her on this stuff. Shawn, the clips in the link you posted are great we will be working through those this weekend. BiSkyHi I like the Antonelli video, it sums it up nicely, now just to implement that!

Flatter is longer and more around

Flat should be a result of pitch location. Not a fundamental.

Remember she is 10u. We can see what is wrong, fixing the hands will help.

What do you mean by getting the shift out the way?

In the load there is forward movement. Hitters are always working forward. Although they are still back while going forward.

Always working forward.



Not rushing forward, not jumping at the pitch. Just hanging out as he is one legged.
