"Palm up, palm down" is s great tip! I never thought of the palms during the swing, as I always would be over-conscious of where my elbows should be during the weight shift.

Thanks for the advice I think this could be my problem also and didn’t actually think about it

Traditional “knob to the ball” instruction merely describes the linear path of the hands at extension. The term is meant to describe the path of the hands AFTER the hips and shoulder are fully turned. There appears to be a miscommunication when MLB players exaggerate the move to illustrate the technique. In any event, at the start of extension (when hips and shoulder are fully turned) the hands are up in the area of the shoulder and control the knob in a linear movement to extend the sweet spot of the bat barrel long into the zone. It’s a smart batting strategy if understood and taught properly.

What about the high strike in fast pitch softball? Hands still above ball? Barrel still below hands?

Hi Matt great video. I’m probably not in the right place but do the pros keep track of how many pitches a batter takes per AB?

Hey Matt have you ever been in the dugout for a major league walkoff

This makes a lot of sense......good explanation......but how are you incorporating that punching/body bag into hitting?!?! What's it for?? I'm intrigued. Is there a target on it???

@AntonelliBaseball 3 жыл бұрын

We use it for a bunch of our drills. Good for learning new movements in the swing without needing to focus on hitting a ball. There are some targets we use, but usually just have them hit anywhere

The baseball swing and the golf swing are similar in that the move toward the ball goes from the "ground up"..Bat speed and power come from the lower half. When the hips fire, the palm up/down is natural.It HAS to happen. ... Bat speed comes from hip rotation. I used to tell the kids, "free your ass and your body will follow"., I got kids who had been coached this 'throw your hands at ball" or as you say, "hands to the ball"....That is if they had any coaching ( from Dad) at all.Once the hands move before the lower half, all the power those big muscles can supply is gone.... I'm also a big believer in maintaining posture through the hitting zone. Slight knee bend, butt slightly out, athletic position in the box. Start the swing by firing the hips. Hands lead the barrel through the zone, uncoil the top half of the body...Bat speed and control

Matt sice you have had wrist surgery, could you try using an Axe bat and see if it makes your swing feel better on your wrists. I'm very curious to see if it has any added benefit. Thanks!

I need some help with things to do with my son. His elbow on his front arm stays close to his body (near his ribs) and then he cuts off his swing early. Any thoughts on what to do?

@patersonplankrd 3 жыл бұрын

Soft toss to the outside of the hitting zone. Get him used to extending his arms.
