The difference isn’t if they rotate — it’s how.... This is how. Rotation needs an axis. If the spine stays stable, the pelvis can rotate around it. That’s what allows the backside to work forward through the turn — not drift out in front. Now the barrel is delivered by the body, not saved by the hands.show more

Misunderstood: the front leg and how to "firm it... up." It’s not pushing you back. It’s holding you in place. Stable front side = spine stays organized Then the back side can actually rotate. No stability → no direction → no consistency.show more

The Hollingsworths Emma Hollingsworth Lyla Hollingsworth came down from... Massachusetts today. A big part of our lesson was learning front-side compression how the front leg and hip stabilize so the body can rotate up against it into contact. Too many hitters think forward momentum is “bad,” but it’s not. Moving forward is necessary, the key is keeping the body connected as it moves. We worked on using the rear lat and back side to pull back and stay connected to the front side. This keeps the body together instead of pushing forward. Through resistance band and towel drills, they learned the feel of: •Holding strong direction through the front side, •Allowing the pelvis to pull the rear leg through, •Creating whip of the barrel against the front side and through extension.show more

Yeah, I know the Mookie video gets overused… but... what he says here is absolute gold. Some of the best info on social media, period. Mookie shows how going back lets the lat pull the top arm. In a game, when he lets that move flow into the ground, the chain fires correctly: ground → pelvis → torso/lat → hands. That’s why the barrel turns from the middle instead of being pushed. Trevor Bauer explains the same thing on the mound: rotation pulls the lat, the arm just whips through. Swing or throw it’s the same principle. Stay connected, let rotation compress into landing, and the sequence works. Cut it off, and you’re just pushing. And here’s the truth: Once you understand this connection as a parent or coach, you can’t mess a kid up it’s how the body naturally moves around center mass. The mistake comes from listening to people who’ve never taken health or fitness seriously. If they don’t understand how the body sequences, they’ll lead you down the wrong road. This isn’t a “method.” It’s just how the body works. And the barrel path? It’s not something you force behind center it happens because the sequence is right.show more

The Pelvic Whip👇 A Big League pitcher’s pelvis can... rotates faster that 900 Degrees per second To maximize that speed with proper timing, many of our athletes and coaches like the feeling of keeping the pelvis closed THEN Exploding! BUT, if the front side groin is tight, the lead leg will just drag the pelvis open which is a much slower version of pelvic rotation To get around this, some guys land in a valgus position (Knee Caved in) on the front leg since you don’t need full Adductor Range of Motion to do this. And Some step across body which can also work around this. This Test / Exercise To see how your groin affects your pelvis, hold your knee out while performing this exercise. You will know immediately if this affects you or not! 👊show more

Don’t take the bat into the red. Send it... there. There’s a big difference. So, I have always had a problem with down and back behind for a barrel cue. I’ve always felt that it makes hitter stuck and uphill. That’s not what I’m promoting here. The energy is created next to the back shoulder so the space is not behind, it’s to the side. So it may feel like you’re swinging out toward the first base dugout, but the body is turning sideways to home plate and taking the barrel forward. #hittingtalkshow more

To Rotate or To Tilt 📝 📝 Rotating around... a spinal axis can feel very powerful. BUT it’s sluggish. The barrel doesn’t get up to speed until late. ❌ Tilt provides the direction and quickness early which leads to consistent power numbers. ✅ At Launch, you can see Judge’s head like a statue while the torso works more North/South (tilt) Why isn’t it Rotation? Barrel Path 👀 Rear Leg 👀 ✅ Watch the barrel path. It works like a clock. Starts at 12 and works down the back. Then contact at 6 o’clock and Out from. ✅ Watch the rear leg Pivot and provide the shift AT launch. ❌ Rotation creates a drag, then speed around and out front. Limits direction. Decreases your time. #gritnjshow more

I want parents to really think about this. Imagine... paying good money for lessons because you care about your daughter’s long-term development… and the first thing you’re told is that “swinging down isn’t correct.” Instead it’s barrel depth, elite path, and swinging up because “that’s what the pros do.” That’s where development goes backwards. Most young athletes aren’t broken they’re underdeveloped in movement. They don’t understand shoulder angles, how to get on top of the ball, situational hitting, or how the body actually organizes a swing. That’s not their fault. That’s instruction skipping steps. In my cage, athletes do not swing up first. They have to earn the right to swing up by first owning the down. We stay at the top of the zone, learn how to find the down, and teach how the shoulders orient the swing. The up isn’t cued or forced it’s a byproduct of correct movement. What floors me is how often kids, especially in softball, are taught to swing up immediately. How do you start middle-down and swing up in a sport where the ball is traveling on an upward plane? It makes no sense. Baseball and softball mechanics are the same the body doesn’t change. But instruction must start differently because pitch plane is different. Baseball breaks down. Softball rise spins up. If a softball hitter can’t control the down out front, they’ll never handle elite rise. Once control is there, the femur turns down, the torso gets pulled up, and the natural up shows itself. No forcing. No manipulation. I can post videos like this all day. I’m not teaching a “style.” I’m teaching how the body is designed to move. I’m demanding because parents invest real time and money, and I won’t waste either. If you want game swings that hold up to velocity and plane find the down!show more

Don’t “Lose Space.” Watch how the pelvis stays against... the line through contact. This helps create/maintain room for the hitter’s arms to swing down the line of the pitch. If the hitter stands up and the pelvis moves towards the plate, it reduces room for the back elbow.show more
