Tatis Breakdown - Bad vs Good - Better, bigger stride - Using the ground better - Obvious more confidence + conviction behind the swing A situation like this.. Some would describe the 'bad swing' it as "short and quiet" And what helped him breakout looks like a little big... louder, more aggressive swing Like always, find what YOU NEED. Sometimes the answer IS, let it loose more.show more

Great analysis, Trey. Tatis definitely seems to have more coil and stretch in his current swing now than before. I wonder if the addtl coil & stretch improved his bat speed and time to contact ? Maybe, using his core engine better has allowed him to generate more bat speed, be more on time, & make contact more out front with higher EV. I've always believed and taught that the core drives the barrel and the arms and hands just direct it. Additional thoughts on that?

Also just getting more stretch and creating a better turn. Like you said, I’m sure there’s a confidence and mental component as well

Good morning. Wouldn’t you say on the left as he gets to foot strike his front shoulder is slightly up and finishes with his body slightly forward?

You could say that, yes. Not very ready or loaded either.

Would you say this limited his attack angle therefore lowering his launch angle!

I mean maybe. I think more importantly, he wasn’t ready or loaded. So all he had was his hands and threw them at the ball He couldn’t elevate anything, be on time or hit anything hard as byproduct. Everyone said “he lost his power”, but he lost his load.

Great mental learning for players to see even the best of the best struggle from the mental side.

I see this problem with a lot of Padre hitters. They look way too stacked on their backside, and it almost looks like they are in the middle of the loads during the pitchers release rather than their arm swing. Do you think the entire hitting department could be telling…

Send this to a player who needs to see it. If you like breakdowns like this, be sure to save and follow.
