Exactly how to get power to opposite field

[Cornbread]

Here is a look at the position of my dd on an opposite-field home run. Notice that the catcher is straddling the opposite batter's box inside line.

Very nice shoulder tilt. Helps working from the inside. Shoulder rotation is the enemy of oppo

Some other words of wisdom...

Player has to be thinking opposite field and let their hand eye skills take over. They also need to stay connected.

Let outside pitches travel deep to the back part of the hip and contact there. Also depends on what count and if the hitter is targeting that area...Easier said than done, but if the hitter is splitting the zone early in counts and looking there, it's half the battle.

Angle of the bat and finishing the legs (glutes) the direction you hit the ball.

Anyways, here is a deep turning. The hands are a rotational axis. The other axis is the rear hip/leg. It’s a focal point to create the slingshot between these two axis’s. Feel the groin area as the weight goes there.

No, it’s making sure there is plenty of bend in the front knee. A lot of bend.
