It’s a Japanese leg kick approach. It generates a lot of power if you land on time.

Looks like George Brett’s swing!

When the hips or front shoulder want to work up hill, just think about how the best pitchers rotate their back hip slightly down hill. Feel yourself trying to capture that downhill rotation just before rotating behind the ball. Hossjob Hitting

🚨 Chipper Jones : Keys to Hitting • Keep the eyes & head still • Maintain a solid + balanced base • Stay under control! ⭐️ Level & steady eyes help you pick up spin faster + make better swing decisions.

🚨 Trevor Bauer: Pitching Drill • Keep your back foot fully grounded • Hips & shoulders start square • Hips fire first then shoulders follow ⭐️ Great visualization of what “Hip-Shoulder Separation” means and how it affects arm speed.

Juan Soto talking about being short to the ball & on top of the ball to get that back spin & not top spin or knuckle balls. Down through the baseball with good extension & your head on the baseball creates solid contact & consistency. Great example right here!

James Wood Washington Nationals | 2026 Off- Season Slider / Inside Location | Key 🔑 Notes: - Great posture - Loading into the back hip - Land and fire with the backside - Hands down/above the baseball (whip) - Head, hip, and knee alignment at the contact point: balance - Head down at the contact point - Barrel stays longer in the zone on plane: backspin 80 Scale

🚨 Schwarber : Hitting Advice • Keep load relaxed + efficient • Simple mechanics = time to react • Still head + balanced eyes ⭐️ A great example of why chasing exit velo in the cage can lead to bad habits - longer swings + stiffer mechanics. Short + Quick + Relaxed

🚨 Lindor : Fielding Fundamentals • Be down & ready at contact • Get the ball to the left side of your body • Field w/ momentum to your target ⭐️ Also uses the mental cue of “funneling” or redirecting the ball into his body to keep his hands soft & loose.

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

Don't force hip-shoulder separation🗝️ While you can jerk the pelvis open or try to actively hold the trunk closed to cheat separation, the spine is designed to work segmentally. When the trunk can relax, it allows for a smooth unfurling of the whip & higher ball velocity.

Great video showing how to load and unload the body in the swing Hands and upper body still loading back as weight shifts forward Front shoulder lower than back at launch position Stride leg absorbs force and gets stable as he gets closer to contact Via: Elite Diamond Performance

Solid analysis here on Tatis Jr. and his swing-tilt + attack angle; The one portion I think MVM left out is both/either of: 1. The lack of hip coil and backside energy load 2. Weight distribution at foot strike Here's Tatis Jr. and Mookie Betts side by side Check the hip coil/load difference, as well as spine tilt (due to excessive weight transfer to the front side by Tatis) that doesn't allow for him to work *off of his backside and lift the ball by getting behind + under 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

🚨 Denzel Clarke - Tennis Ball Drill • Helps w/ staying more grounded • Compress the ball on each swing ⭐️ Very cool idea to help hitters who tend to lunge at the ball &/or don't get enough out of their legs when they swing.

Staying short & quick on top half of the zone. Staying on plane with great extension through the ball upon contact. Raul Shah 💬 🔊 breaking down the difference between high and low tire feels and what they do for his swing process.

🚨 Tony Gwynn: Stride + Balance • Land on the ball of your foot • Stride forward or slightly closed ⭐️ Simple advice but worth remembering. Landing in a balanced & athletic position allows you to adjust to anything/everything.

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.
