Pulling off the ball is the #1 issue hitters struggle with. (they would agree) To fix it, you don't need to try harder or swing slower. Schwarber proves that. He hits the longest home runs without coming off the ball. How to correct it: Shoulder in, chin and face... show more

“You can’t finish over your shoulder if your shoulder pulls out.” This feel and the chin shoulder to shoulder work has helped a lot of the hitters I train this season. Adrenaline wants to speed us up — especially that front shoulder Shut it down. Keep it in.

Controlled aggression and purpose behind every swing. Don’t just push the ball around the field. But don’t swing max effort trying to hit pull-side home runs every round of BP either. MLB hitters are the strongest and most physical players in the game. They could launch balls out all day if they wanted to. Yet the great ones understand that batting practice is about building a swing that performs in games. Watch hitters like Miguel Cabrera. Sure, they hit some out, but they aren’t constantly hooking and top-spinning balls to the pull side. They’re hunting backspin and driving the baseball with authority. Controlled aggression and driving the ball to the opposite-field gap helps hitters stay on fastballs to all fields, avoid pulling off, and buy time to adjust to off-speed pitches and breaking balls. Many amateur hitters struggle with both because they train their swing to look good in BP, not perform in games. They become one-dimensional. Be a mature hitter. Train for game performance, not batting practice applause.

🚨 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.

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!

Swinging over the top? But can’t stop it? This drill will. Then get the feel you have from the drill once the rods gone. If all you do is push the ball with the rod there then your face is to open and you have to swing OTT to try and close the face.

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.

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.

How to set up the tee for a pitch down the middle, inside & outside. I see far too many athletes setting up incorrectly when doing tee work at my clinics and I see it from all ages. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have the tee in the correct spot. You can have the best swing in the world but if your contact point is off, it does you no good. For a pitch down the middle, you’ll want to make contact with the ball about even with your front foot in order to stay connected and hit for maximum power. Inside will be right outside of front foot and outside will be right inside of front foot. Letting the ball travel too deep will jam you and catching too far out front will force you to hit the ball off the end of the bat and roll over. So for those wanting to change swing mechanics so quickly for mishitting the ball, check your contact points first.

Some hitters constantly pull off the ball or get spinny. One reason could be related to Motor Shoulder. Every athlete has one shoulder that naturally sits slightly in front of the other. That shoulder often becomes the one that helps drive direction during rotation. In Motor Preferences we commonly see two patterns (with nuance): Back Motor Shoulder Keep the shoulders more in line with the pitcher so the back shoulder can work through and drive direction. Front Motor Shoulder Allow the athlete to load the front shoulder in so when rotation happens they can maintain direction through the middle of the field. The goal isn’t to force the same swing. It’s understanding the ranges of motion the athlete naturally organizes around and coaching toward them. We go deeper on Motor Shoulder and Motor Preferences in the Level 1 Baseball/Softball eCourse.

When you're off the green, to get relief from a sprinkler head, you need to have physical interference with your ball, stance, or swing. It might be distracting, and it might even change the next shot you play, but without physical interference, there is no free relief.

Tee on the inside half. Hit it back up the middle. I’d do this drill a lot to groom my bat path to be short & inside the baseball. If you can consistently be inside the baseball it will allow you to trust your self to let the baseball travel deep towards the plate before you make a decision to swing. When you can let the ball travel deeper to make a decision to swing you swing at better pitches…. When you swing at better pitches & track the ball longer you square up more baseballs…. Square up more baseballs get more hits! Hitters University

Tiger Woods is/was the best at making swing changes… he changed his swing 4 times… maybe more How did he do it? By not caring where the ball was going in the early stages. I’ve preached this from day 1 Recreational golfers are SO OBSESSED with ball flight when making changes that it stops you from focusing on what you actually need to, which is the body movement your making If Tiger didn’t care, why should you. The information is out there folks, the only thing stopping you from changing is yourself and your own discipline Video credit Chris Como

This video has always been a favorite of mine, natural swing, as though a 5yr old threw the ball up in the back yard and hit it as far as he could. Then turned around with a huge smile and said, “did you see that dad”. To me, when training youth hitters, fun matters a ton!

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.

Behind the ball is how you get depth AND length out front. (Not one or the other) Here’s what it actually gives you: 1. You swing more connected and deeper. 2. The barrel enters earlier and stays in longer. You get both. 3. Depth behind what buys you length out front. Most guys are picking one or the other. 4. You sling the barrel through. You’re not shoving it or yanking it into the zone. 5. You actually use the ground. Behind the ball you turn. If you’re not using the ground, you’re probably sliding and pulling everything towards the ball. 6. Your bat speed becomes usable. Pushed and pulled bat speed still reads fast vs one pitch one speed. Only one of them shows up on the barrel, in the zone, on time vs pitching. — Cue for your next round: let the ball get deeper than usual, and turn behind a wall. You can scoot close to a net in front of you to get the feeling, too. Then vs moving ball. > Save this for when you need it > Send this to a hitter who needs it right now (And make sure you’re following)

I love watching Merrimack's 2-3 zone and how they close out to the gap--not the player--on ball reversals. It is extremely disruptive to teams who think they can easily swing the ball against a zone and results in a ton of forced turnovers.
