Gary Sheffield teaching his son, Noah is great stuff. “Stop drifting…. Control the barrel with your body.” Back, behind the ball keeps hitters from losing the barrel. Behind ball, not drifting, is part of body being in sync.

Stop drifting after you land. A lot of hitters think they need to keep moving forward after foot plant to create power. In reality, that forward drift often causes the barrel to work down through and under the ball. Instead, rotate behind your contact point. Keep your head stable, create more space, and give the barrel a better path through the zone. HEAD - down and back slightly OK✅ MOVING FORWARD AS YOU SWING❌ Train with an expert, not an influencer.

From this angle, you can see the turn starts from the middle of his body. As his core rotates, the barrel naturally slots behind him into the zone. Don’t force the barrel with your hands. Turn efficiently from the middle.

Hitters chase power by flying open. But that’s why they miss. Chest opens early → Barrel gets stuck → You cut across the ball. Good hitters don’t spin. They sequence. Barrel behind the turn. Chest through.

Watch when his front foot hits, his head remains totally still. Turn behind the ball. Catch it with the barrel.

Watch what happens as his front foot lands. The front side braces instead of drifting forward, creating a stable base to turn from. That brace lets the barrel accelerate and release into contact. Elite hitters get to launch, stabilize, then turn efficiently into the ball.

“Your bat angle should come from underneath your shoulder, not above.” The hands stay above the ball, the barrel works down the back. Think of a clock and the hands being the pivot point. Barrel starts at 12 o’clock. #gritnj

Good clip by Trey Hannam. Some hitters must be taught to deliver the barrel, release the barrel because their barrel stays back behind their knob too long.

Alex Bregman’s swing length is just 7.0 feet, slightly shorter than the MLB average. Yet he still creates barrel depth by slotting the barrel behind his body before it’s released into the baseball.

Getting the barrel to the ball, relatively deep in the zone, is a must. Barrel in front of hands while keeping good direction.

Small clips from my latest YouTube video “how to drag bunt from the left side” •Perfect the bunt down first base line. That is the hardest bunt to cover. •Barrel comes quick through the zone. •Barrel should be out before left foot crosses over. •Top hand is dominant. I prefer to wrap my hand around the handle for better barrel control. •Once the ball hits the bat, barrel shouldn’t go out anymore. Don’t stab at the ball. Catch it. •Keep moving through the ball. •Ball should make contact more towards the end of the bat. •Make contact more on top of the ball.

Stop dumping the barrel!! Big cue here to make sure we aren’t doing this in our swing. When we start our move, the first move should be with the back hip and knob to set our direction to the ball. If you don’t feel this and instead feel your back elbow going first—getting in front of your hands—you’re dumping the barrel and losing control of your ability to make consistent contact. #softball #softballtraining #hitting #barreldump

Everybody tries to fix their direction by training and feeling their bat path. Makes sense. The barrel and hands the part you can feel the most. But your path is mostly just following where your body already sent the energy. Posture leaks a little, the energy comes away from the ball, and the barrel goes right along with it. So when you’re pulling off, it usually started before your swing even starts. It started with your posture and where your body was working. Hands, path, posture, energy. They all work together. Clean up the stride, body energy and posture and the barrel falls in line on its own. Typically. The drill in the video is how you train that. Volume up so you catch the cue.

This is an outstanding view of swinging ‘out from’ your body not ‘around’ your body. All great hitters swing ‘out from’. It also debunks the Cunha/Bleecker/farm board ‘across your body’ nonsense.
