Pedroia's swing is fascinating. He holds his head straight up, which would normally make it harder to accurately track and target the ball. He also drops his hands below his shoulders and assumes the hammering position with the back hand very, very early as well. It is difficult to replicate what he does, but that swing in this clip is a thing of beauty for how long the bat remains in the path of the ball. It's quite remarkable.

I just want to say, nowadays, pros in the mlb only try to swing up. The only thing scouts recruit for are hitters that can hit the ball hard and hit home runs. For example, in the video look at both Jose Bautista and Bryce Harper’s swings. Both of them have a big dip in their swings. When you swing up, you only have a chance to hit the ball on the tip of the bat. It’s easier to understand if I showed you in real life with a bat and a ball. But then, look at both Robinson Cano’s swing. I know you can’t really tell from that angle, but his swing is level, and it doesn’t dip down at all. If you swing level or EVEN swing down, you have a better chance of hitting the ball. If you swing level, the ball could hit the bat on any place on the bat. Again, it’s hard to understand to explain this on a comment of a KZfaq video, but I tried to make it as clear as I can to you. So this is why people should stop swinging up and dipping in their swings, and swing level or even down. You could even try it by just going to a park with a parent and ask them to pitch to you and just try swinging level or down. Have a good day
@rextrammell78402 жыл бұрын
Getting the bat “on plane.” Sound advice, I agree 1000%. Your margin for error becomes greater the longer your bat is on the same plane as the baseball coming in
@KyleCre8s Жыл бұрын
Thanks for this! I am a high school freshman and I'm trying to figure out my swing before tryouts. I've always tried to get under the ball, but i will for sure keep this in mind. You said you could explain better in person.... Any chance you could do a KZfaq demo?
@pmoney1217 Жыл бұрын
Not trying to criticize you but I can see we’re your coming from. When I was growing up I always would try to either dip or keep it even. Now I’ve learned to go at the angle the ball is pitched at especially fastball. You might not want to do this against and off speed pitch especially when the pitcher has a lot of drop on the ball.

Several of the swings are not in game situations, they are transferring the weight too soon to the front foot because they are just swinging for homeruns. The game situation swings for most players keeps the weight behind the front knee until the swing makes contact even though it looks like all the weight is on the front foot. The swing carries the momentum and weight beyond the front knee as the swing gets beyond the front knee. The "homerun" swings get you way out in front of breaking and off speed pitches, you won't be able to hold up. It works if you can guess right, and sometimes guessing is the thing to do according to Ted Williams.

Almost all mlb hitters let their back foot come up on the tip to shift their weight to their stiff front leg and rotate around it.No squishing the bug.Then they settle down on the ball of the foot for a split second,AFTER contact.The back arm slots to the side supporting the hands and the top elbow works up to keep the bat in the zone.All you got to do is look at the slow mo,there is no throwing the hands or staying 'level"with the shoulders.They do not swing down at a ball that's going down either.
@TheBlackhawk71510 жыл бұрын
You are absolutely right, I just had this argument with my son's high school coach. It's pretty hard to argue the video but he keeps saying he has 19 yrs experience. Good thing his hitting coach teaches rotational hitting and not swinging down on the ball.
@jacobcavanaugh408510 жыл бұрын

@robstatetx10 жыл бұрын
Never swing down or level. Swing at the angle between the strike zone and the pitchers head. Homerun dirby swings are different from game situation swings also. Getting way out in front on a gimmy pitch will fly a long way, but you won't get any of those in a game. The transfer of the actual weight gets carried through to the front as the bat gets through the front. It is weird to explain when you see a back foot with no weight on it, but the body weight is still behind the front knee and moving forward towards impact. If all your weight is out front before the bat gets there you are an easy strikeout, unless you are playing slow pitch softball.

The only real problem I see in the video (and it may just be the angle we're seeing it) is that it looks like his weight is moving backwards at contact and just after. Take a look at his back foot--he's up on the toe (meaning he's moved his weight forward), and at the end of the swing, he's back to the ball of his foot.

@elainedavis97147 жыл бұрын
JJ GRAVITY a batter who hits without getting his weight to his front foot at impact will always be late and pop everything up. He will have the feeling that fastballs are jumping on him and his bat will feel like it weighs 10 pounds. The mechanics of hitting a baseball, tennis ball or golf ball or throwing a ball or a punch are all the same. You must transfer weight from the back foot to the front foot and then turn your hips.
