Most hitters think the stride works like this: Foot forward… back hip stays cocked, coiled, loaded whatever the term, then WHAM. I get it. Sounds cool. But the swing isn’t a Looney Tunes slingshot. For instance, a toe-tap stride, the whole system moves forward together — head, torso, and... lower half toward the pitcher in sync. Look at the yellow lines. (Start to finish) The roof → spine → base all move forward into the position to fire. Where hitters get in trouble is when the foot goes forward but the head and torso stay back. Now they’re stuck on the backside… the front shoulder pops up and the barrel starts down too soon causing a steep swing with balls into the ground or missing under that one fastball. The stride isn’t just a step. It’s a controlled forward move of the whole system. Study the lines. Agree or disagree? ⚾️ Train with an expert. Not an influencershow more

Wait all you have to do is one leg it and snap it backwards according to internet buffoons

Agree. It’s a weight gather. Toe tap accomplishes the back hip thing.. or you can gather in the sagittal plane.. frontal and transverse plane gathering is bad. Transverse and frontal plane loading should happen during the stride.. I always liked Wallenbrochs philosophy on that.. sets things up nicely.. maybe a bit outdated but I use it in drills to this day.. good feels there. Please stop w the expert thing.. you just learned the right way a month ago.. like the rest of the world.. before that your were just an influencer. Now you can call yourself an instructor not an expert.. And the swing is a slingshot.. it ain’t a chain that’s for sure..

I agree...it's possible to move forward as a unit but still keep your center of gravity over your back thigh. Positioning of the hands staying back is what allows it to happen.

Cherry-picked two guys that have their feet close together at some point in their swing. Now do someone who stays wide throughout their swing.

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.

Don’t be a Tokyo Drifter A tiny difference can have HUGE impacts. Most hitters don’t get beat… they drift. That tiny move forward after landing? That’s everything. Try this stupid fix 👇 👉 Stand on the plate 👉 Step away from the plate with the rear foot 👉 Slight inward turn That’s loading. That’s ready. Don’t push out of it— turn out of it. Now you’re stacked and loaded— not falling into the swing. Small moves. Big results. Train with an expert, not an influencer.

Different style, but the same ENGINE ⁉️ Great hitters have differences, but under the hood they used the same engine. Taking a look at a few different big league hitters. All of them have their own unique style and setup. But what I want to focus on here is how all of them load the backside. They all are loading AROUND the backside and allowing the back pocket to take them into the forward move. This allows them to control the move forward while still maintaining the feeling of staying back. This also sets up the DIRECTION of the swing to cover the outer half and create speed behind that location. We have a mix of guys like Harper, Bichette, and Tatis who sometimes switch up the style of the load between leg kicks, toe taps, and no strides, but the way the backside loads in each different style remains the same. While guys like Suarez, Machado, and Witt replicate the same style more often. Want to be great? Start with your load. #Develop #Hitting

A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

Forward head posture isn’t just a neck issue. It often starts lower in the body — from the feet to the hips and upper back. Real change comes from restoring alignment from the ground up, plus consistent daily habits, not forcing the head back.

Learn from a Hitter Who Hit .328 with 22 HR in the SEC 1. Gathers down and back without getting stuck back 2. Loads forward and downhill without getting jumpy forward 3. Initiates his launch move behind the ball like great hitters do I use his swing with many hitters I work with and evaluate. Most hitters need a very similar load pattern Also notice, how he stays down hill with his head and front side as he gathers and strides, doesn't work uphill This allows him to stay consistent, on the ball and quick reactionary. > Save this for when you need it > Send it to a hitter who needs it If you like this type of content, let me know in the comments!

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.

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.

Foot position at contact is always important, but many don’t realize how extending your toe forward and rotating the top of the foot to face up will actually allow your hips to clear more efficiently. Try not to swing your foot through the ball like a putter. Think of it more like a full golf swing.

✨ It’s not about how you stand—it’s where you start! ✨ There’s no “perfect” stance, but there is a perfect starting point. Here’s the deal: when good hitters reach toe touch, they all fall within a “range of great.” ✅ Front shoulder down: Keep it level or slightly down—this sets you up for success. ✅ Knob back: Think behind your back foot to the catcher’s head. 🎯 You’ll never see elite hitters at toe touch with their front shoulder pointing at the sky or their knob aiming at the pitcher (well… not often). So stand however you like, stride your way, but if you can consistently hit these key checkpoints at toe touch, you’re giving yourself a real shot at success. Simple. Effective. Game-changing. 💥

Here's a unique way to teach a pitcher how to ride the slope. I call it the "Sliding Hinge Drill" An initial teaching tool for guys who: ✅ Extend off the back leg ✅ Lose foot stability ✅ Lose torso positioning Hard throwers "move forward while staying back." They initiate this by creating ground force through a stable back foot. The head stays back, trunk stays stacked and pelvis stays relatively level. Once they "feel it" this can be generalized to dynamic drills. I want to reiterate that this is an early teaching tool for guys who have no idea how to hinge. Pitchers with good back sides don't need to put the training wheels back on.

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 dumps all the tension you created during the load. No tension = no stored energy. No stored energy = you’re not maximizing rotation, swing path, or power. Period. It’s been this way since the beginning of time (uh not really, but you get the point) — and it continues to prove true. This is how hitters maximize their own power, no matter the size.

Diagonal delivery vs L shape delivery. When I got up to 95, all I thought about was getting as deep into my back leg as possible. When I made the jump to 98, what I did was get into that drop a lot quicker. Now as I train to throw 100, I’m starting to think about it differently. If I sink too deep into my back leg, I create more of a drop and drive delivery where I have to drop first and then create energy toward the target. Rather than having it happen at the same time. Where I’m going down and out at the same rate. That’s the most efficient way to create as much energy toward the target as possible. One of the big fixes I’ve made is dropping into the inside of my back foot. Rather than putting force into the whole foot. This prevents me from getting too deep because I can’t get into a squat position when I’m putting force into the inside of my back leg. It also helps me create more energy toward the target. When you put force into the inside of your back foot, you’ll naturally move forward more than you move down. I also created a full guide on this, so if you want it, comment guide and I’ll send it through to you.

The WINDOW of Rotation (Rails)🪟 The window of rotation starts with the inital set and alignment during the leg lift. We want the head, torso, and center of mass aligned on top of each other so everything can move efficiently toward the catcher. As we move down the mound, the goal is to carry that stacked position forward and ultimately rotate pelvis, torso, and arm to the target. When the body stays centered, rotation has a clear and direct path. If pieces begin to drift too far over the glute or leak out over the toes too early, the direction of rotation changes. Instead of rotating cleanly toward the target, the body starts rotating where the weight has shifted, often leading to inconsistencies in command, timing, and force transfer. Start stacked ➡️ Hold Posture➡️ Unleash thru the target. #Develop

Stride Stop 101: The Secret Move That Transforms Your Paint Game During Jay Wright’s tenure, Villanova was known for their ability to play off 2 feet in the paint. It was a separator for them. But what exactly does play off 2 feet mean? It could mean a number of different things. When it comes to playing off 2, one of your best options is the stride stop. Unfortunately, it’s one of the more challenging footworks to teach. While jump stops come naturally to most players, stride stops can be difficult to learn. Many players get frustrated and never master this move. As a result, they limit themselves when they get to the paint. Make sure that’s not the case for you and your players! What Exactly Is a Stride Stop? Unlock This Key Finishing Move What is a stride stop? Like a jump stop, a stride stop is a 2 foot stop. Unlike a jump stop, your feet don’t hit at the same time. Instead, your outside foot hits first. The stride stop is useful in a couple driving situations: -When a help defender comes across to take a charge. -When the on ball defender is physically on the inside shoulder. Coach Matt Lewis teaches the stride stop as a key element of The Flow Motion Offense.

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.

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.
