I don’t think this topic has been covered in this forum. It’s funny bc these are the pillars of consistent hitting. Anyone got a thought on how to get these things trained and or understood?

WW, I have been discussing this the past 10 + years.. Guess I didn't do a very good job
Anybody that played HR derby as a kid would instinctively know how to adjust to that. I don’t ever remember kids saying a pitcher was too slow growing up but I hear it all the time now, baseball and softball.You stated in the other thread that Leveraging late is dead. Agreed. Then you stated the alternative is to leverage early and adjust from there. Then you stated a couple posts later that Foot down early is an adjustment cue. I'm not following. I could be wrong but you always seem to make statements of get foot down and leverage early as a central fact of the swing not an adjustment.
I want to be leveraged on time every time as much as possible and adjust if required. No different than what trout did in the video of tewks. Trout did not make and adjustment on the FB by getting his foot down earlier and then change or anything with the Lob pitch. Trout simply knows his rhythm and timing of his load. He knows how to repeat it every single time. He already know what the slow pitcher was throwing and on deck or even before in the dugout, timed when to start his load timing to match contact. IMO of course
Just like hardly any player has a hard time syncing up with front toss timing, They can just jump in there and start hacking away. Ok, it may take 1-2 swings probably on avg. Then they have their timing.Anybody that played HR derby as a kid would instinctively know how to adjust to that.

Yeah..because that is what they see. We played HR derby but we also played speedball where the pitcher would throw pinkies as hard as they could from 30 ft. Wiffle ball too…you figured out your timing or you looked like an idiot in front of your friends.Just like hardly any player has a hard time syncing up with front toss timing,
