Everyone obsessed with that front shoulder “up”at toe touch… listen up. When you land at toe touch → heel plant, the front shoulder benefits the hitter more if it is slightly down or at least parallel. Not shrugged. Not lifted. Why? Because when that shoulder pops UP, your torso... show more

If you’re not doing this, you’re losing power and stability in your swing. After a controlled load into the back hip, we have to be ready to unleash that stored energy into the ball. The only way to do this with both force and stability is by hitting against a strong front side — more specifically, our front heel. When we drive the front heel properly into the ground, it allows us to maximize both force and stability, enabling our mechanics to function correctly and generate gap-to-gap power! #softball #hitting #lesson

Hitting Dumbed Down -Ever feel like you’re dragging the barrel too far when you start your swing? You’re not alone—THIS HITTER struggled with the same issue.” Instead of getting on plane early and driving the ball, the barrel was dragging, getting stuck, and leading to weak ground balls and pop ups the other way THIS HITTERS THOUGHT/ fix? “Think about slicing your shoulder toward the ball. Don’t let your barrel drift too far behind.” “When you ‘slice the shoulder,’ you create a tighter, more efficient turn behind the ball, staying on plane longer and driving through the pitch.” “The result for him? More consistent contact, more power, and the barrel is exactly where it needed to be.” “If you have this issue & Next time you’re in the cage, focus on slicing that shoulder—it could be the key to unlocking your best swing.” “Tag someone who needs this tip, and let’s get to work! 💪⚾””””for those not in at Tampa Bay, I do a remote training via the SEAMSUP APP.

Listen... your riches aren’t being blocked by some outside force or hidden order. That’s not what’s happening. They’re literally coded into your frequency field locked to who you are at an energetic level. And they don't unlock because you grind harder or prove anything they unlock when you actually embody the truth of who you are The world’s frequency is shifting and what used to get rewarded doesn’t fly anymore. Fake identities, hustle masks, performance done. Truth and alignment are the new access points. And if you're not resonating with the energy of what you're meant to hold, you won’t connect to it not because you’re being blocked, but because your own soul is safeguarding the power until you’re stable enough to hold it clean It’s not delayed it’s protected. It’s sitting in your field, right now, waiting for your nervous system, your decisions, and your energy to line up. And when they do? The release is instant. No fight. No begging. No waiting list You don’t earn this you match it And that’s not a belief that’s universal metaphysical law. Every real esoteric system says the same thing: You face the fire, align your frequency, transmute what’s false and then it meets you That’s the code. Straight up

🚨 HITTERS — Your front heel plant can make or break your swing. 🚨 When that front heel hits the ground, your head should stop moving forward — ideally right at heel plant or within 1–2 frames after. Why? Because drifting through the swing kills launch time, robs swing speed, and throws off your swing path — all of which crush your chances of consistent, hard contact. ✅ Lock in your head at heel plant. ✅ Maximize power, speed, and accuracy. 💥 Your best contact starts here. #BaseballTips #SoftballTips #HittingMechanics #SwingPower

Here’s a nice drill to help your OL from popping up in their pass set that we love to use at 5AS1 OL Training. Put a medball under their down hand. They must “roll” the ball along with them along the angle of their sets, but they must keep it inline with their shoulder. You’ll find that if the athlete is rising in their set, the ball will lag behind or not move at all. OR if the athlete is opening up that shoulder, the ball will continue to roll outside of their frame. Remember this will not look perfect! This video is the athletes first time, and there are lots of things to clean up. The important thing is that the athlete feels what it’s like to move horizontally without “bounding” or “popping up”.

REAL HITTERS. REAL MOVEMENT. REAL TEACHING. 1/ Will Clark — Bottom Hand + Shoulder Angle = The Down Comes First Clark explains the bottom arm works with the shoulders on the down. That’s posture. That’s angle. That’s barrel organization. • High tire / high tee • The down organizes the up • Movement creates path Not cues movement. 2/ Mookie Betts — Shoulders Stay Above the Ball Mookie explains keeping the shoulders above the ball is what lets the rear elbow match plane. • Shoulders set the plane • Rear elbow gets on plane through posture • High-tire work reinforces it Not “turn the barrel early.” Movement creates plane → plane creates path. 3/ Will Clark (Again) — Dusty Baker: “Take Your Rear Hip to the Ball” That’s femur action: down → in → under. Same pattern as the throw. No spinning. No artificial torque. Just human movement sequencing. 4/ Jeff Kent — Oppo Walk-Throughs Reveal Direction Kent wasn’t doing a gimmick. He was showing pure direction under momentum: • posture stable • direction honest • top-hand release real • body organized Elite hitters move with direction, not against it. 5/ Nolan Arenado — Nose Down, Eye Down, Torso Completing Arenado is positional integrity: • nose down through contact • backside eye down the line • shoulders matching pitch plane • torso completing around center mass • rear hip + rear elbow staying connected He’s not repeating a swing he’s repeating movement sequencing. 6/ Mike Trout — Top-Hand Release Into Dab Finish Low pitch = top-hand dab by the ear because his body created the natural up. Not tilt. Not manipulation. The sequence finishes itself. 7/ Shohei Ohtani — The Clearest Example of Force Coupling on Earth Ohtani is biomechanics in HD: • pelvis gaining ground • torso stacking over front side • rear glute throwing the body forward • rear knee turning down → in → under • rear lat anchoring the hands • backside crashing into a braced front side That collision IS force coupling. It transfers all the stored energy into the ball. No leaks. No wasted power. Power comes from movement, not cues. The body creates the swing the swing never creates the body. 8/ Adrian Beltre — Knee Down, Femur Action, True Natural Up Beltre on a low pitch is a biomechanics lecture: • knee works down • femur turns down → up • torso turns deeper behind the ball • rear hip + torso stay connected • lift comes from turning UNDER and BEHIND the pitch No fake tilt. No dragging. No hand manipulation. Natural lift is a movement outcome, not a cue. 9/ Alex Bregman — The Miss Tells the Truth On a miss he still shows elite control: • heel-to-toe • back shoulder to cheek • rear foot stable • torso stacked • posture balanced If a hitter can control chaos, the movement is real. 10/ Frank Thomas — Top-Hand Release + Back-Foot Release Direction and posture decide release. Not cues. Not drills. Just pure human movement. THE TRUTH THE INDUSTRY IGNORES Everything hitters need is right in front of them if you study movement not just the swing. The swing is the final 30%. The other 70% is: • shoulder angles • femur action • ground-force anticipation • center-mass control • torso completion • force coupling • front-side bracing • rear-lat anchoring That’s the REAL engine of elite hitting. Most instructors: ✓ study the swing ✗ ignore the movement So they miss: • how the down organizes the up • how posture sets plane • how the femur organizes direction • how the pelvis gains ground • how the torso completes • how force coupling transfers energy • how adjustability is created If you don’t study movement, you will never understand hitting.

Presence is the part of the 'swing' nobody trains. When you walk up to the plate.. Are people saying "oh, the pitchers in trouble here" Or do they see your presence and think "he's got no chance" Hitters spend all waking hours on their swing and zero time on how they carry themselves in the box. Or on deck. Or walking up to the plate. Train how you carry your bat walking up to the plate. Train how you have that slight 'good luck' stare down at the pitcher. Train how you give off 'you better not miss' vibes to the pitcher. Pitchers read it. Coaches read it. Your family reads it. You step in unsure with your head down and you've told them how the at-bat goes before the first pitch. The ones who own the box aren't faking it. They know their plan, they trust their swing, and it shows. Go watch your own video, Go train it. You'll be surprised by how much better you perform. > Send this to a hitter who needs it > Save this for when you need it.

Qullamaggie on The Key Is to Outperform “You’re only up 20%, well, it could be that you’ve been trading the wrong stocks or you’ve been in mediocre stocks. If you know you should have been trading the solars, the EV names, or the spec names over the past six months, you probably have been trading the wrong stocks. If you haven’t at least traded some solar or speck, or EV battery names. You’re up 550% this year. Yeah, that’s good, but 40% is still good as well, though it also depends if you’re using margin or not. If you’re up 20% in the past month and a half without using any margin, that’s still good. It’s not bad at all, it’s okay. The key is to outperform; that really is the key. If the market is up 10%, you should be up 30% or 50%. That’s really the point of why we are here. That’s why you focus on these higher ADR stocks because we know we don’t bother with the slow stocks. Let the mediocre traders trade the slow stocks, the low momentum stocks, and the sectors that are not hot. Let other people trade them. We want to be where the money is; that’s our job.”

No human does Stage 3-2 like this. It makes absolutely no sense to jump at the very edge of the block when it gives you the least possible time to line yourself up. It's very suspicious if not blatant.

All great hitters — no matter the guru, teaching style, or era — line up within a range of these 4 checkpoints. L.A.C.P Period eh, Period E, Period A…..😂 1. Launch: Front Heel plant. Hips fire. Barrel goes back. Torque is created. 2. Approach: Set the barrel plane. Knob aiming where you’re letting it go. Slightly below parallel = $$$. 3. Contact: Barrel + chest = parallel (or close). Hips cleared. Barrel trailing hands. The moment of truth. 4. Power V: My personal favorite. Pure direction, length, and adjustability. Gives you grace when you’re a touch early. Learned this blueprint in 2010 from the master himself, Coach Ep - Mizzou Jake Epstein — and it’s still the foundation today. L.A.C.P. = Consistency, adjustability, and juice. #LACP #HittingMechanics #BarrelFlow #Contactandconsistency #SwingSc

Yay, i did it, i even did one for the shoulder to somewhat adjust when the arm is moving up and down, the only downside is that you can't or i don't know how to, add the elbow joint to control rotation, but i consider this a win.

Bat Speed Doesn’t set up swing path!!!!Watch 35+ hitters in this video. U can literally close your eyes at this point in the swing. If done correctly you’ll hit it, if wrong, you’ll miss. Different eras, ages, levels, sports, coaches, teams and origins, all doing the same thing. This position is the most important of all of them (especially for younger hitters). No matter how fast the bat is traveling at this point, if it’s wrong, you’ll miss!!! Approach will range from the sternum to the belly button (high / low) and on the shoulder or off a little (in/ out). Watch your videos closely, if you’re missing a lot, this could be the culprit! *the standard feel for this is place the middle of the bat below the deltoid (in the boney area below the shoulder, now take swings connected. Move the bat up higher or lower based on the tee position, turn. As u get comfortable, then add all the snapping, whipping etc u want. But u better get through this position before contact) #StanceDoctor

Life is short. Enjoy it and make the best of it! Naval “It’s even briefer than that. Each moment just disappears. It’s gone. There’s only a present moment, and it’s gone instantly. So if you’re not there for it, if you’re stressed out, or you’re anxious, or you’re thinking about something else, you missed it. So the true wasted time is a time that you are not present for, when you are not there for it, when you are not doing the thing you want to do to the best of your capabilities such that you’re immersed in it. If you’re not immersed in this moment, then you’re wasting your time.” Chris Williamson

The difference in the way Drew threw in HS/college and what we saw in the videos from the Steelers rookie camp is extremely subtle (basically a slight adjustment w/ the front leg and zero change to his upper half or arm path/slot) and most wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I disagree that he was early with his external rotation during college. The video below (from 2024) shows his typical approach over the past 7 years…staying loaded and coiled on the back leg until the front foot makes contact with the ground. The drill is designed to keep him loaded in his back glute, and maintain the discipline to not fire his hips early, until his front foot gets down. His front foot and hip slightly clear (while staying coiled in the core) to allow the hips to come through cleanly. That slight opening of the front hip, along with the slight closure-internal rotation-of the front shoulder is how hip-shoulder separation is created. Getting the hips to come through first (while the shoulders and arms stay back), then the torso, then the shoulders, is how hip-shoulder separation (power) is maximized. Learned that from Chris Hess and it’s been a fantastic tool.
