@SangilloJohn John, no one of importance takes you serious. Criticizing a guy who works with tons of pros when you have no clients at the top level of the game is embarrassing. Keep working with your youth players and stop criticizing a guy who coaches some of the best MLB hitters.

If your explanation is “tilt a Ferris wheel into a merry-go-round,” you’re not explaining how the body moves. You’re explaining a picture. Real movement is:
rear hip internal rotation /forward center mass/front-side stabilization/ rotational acceleration This is not a free-floating circular model. So telling an athlete to “tilt a Ferris wheel into a merry-go-round” doesn’t explain movement. That’s a creative visual. It’s just not how the body produces force. If this is how you understand movement, there’s a reason high-level environments don’t and will not take you serious.

@LoJackHustle @Teacherman1986 Stupid response. He has posted these details many times over the years. Be grateful he gives so much away for free. If you don't have an open mind to learn, ignore or block him.

@Teacherman1986 So if you weren't bored in a hotel you wouldn't post this?

Hotel Boredom: Let’s talk tee. Many orgs have eliminated tees in favor of ‘more game like training’. I’m about to prove them wrong. I know as I write this they aren’t interested. This is for you…..the player. You MUST take control of your mind. You MUST analyze everything you’re being told. You’d think mlb orgs, who are at the top of the talent chain, would also be at the top of instruction chain. They are not. So……

@MatthewNichol5 @VandyonTigers @shegone03 @Teacherman1986 Rich trolls the ignorant regardless of who they are - and it sure looks like you fall in that category, Matty.

@VandyonTigers @shegone03 @Teacherman1986 Look @Teacherman1986 is trolling another ex MLB player. What a clown.

My first interaction with the legend in his own mind, Teacherman. I’ve never followed him and honestly couldn’t care less about his hitting theories. But he trolled me and started the confrontation. The problem for him was simple—I dismantled every argument he made, and many times he ended up proving my points himself. BUYER BEWARE. Richard uses cherry-picked video clips trying to prove his system works. Video can say anything if you select the right clip. For every example he posts, there are hundreds showing the exact opposite. When a man claims he’s right and everyone else in the game is wrong… calls players who played at the highest level morons and low IQ… and then posts videos that contradict his own claims—you should seriously question what he’s selling. Honestly, he deserves to be banned from my feed. But I’m keeping this conversation visible so people can see exactly how unhinged this man really is. Be careful where you spend your money.

@VandyonTigers @Teacherman1986 Paris, Rizzo, Happ, Durbin, Robson, Pederson, and many many more that prefer to be anonymous. Now, where is your list?

@TomoLancer @Teacherman1986 Judge Carpenter Name the rest

Parker, stop with the “I’m seeing the ball well.” If you were, the results would show it. The most important thing in hitting is separation — it must be completed at release or just after the pitch is released. That’s timing and pitch recognition in one move. If you’re fouling off too many pitches, your hands are getting under the ball too early. Get the hands to the ball out front. GO TIGERS!

@VandyonTigers @Teacherman1986 "Your stuff doesn’t work'. Ok, he has 30+ guys in the MLB who work with him including the best hitter on the planet. How many MLB players do you work with?

@Teacherman1986 Your stuff doesn’t work. I’ve rebuilt too many high school swings in West Michigan that came out of your system. When a method leaves a trail of broken hitters, it’s not instruction — it’s damage. #toobusyunfuckingwhatufuckedup

@MiniTourLoser @Teacherman1986 Sadly they do. High schools are filled with coaches teaching this garbage.

@Teacherman1986 Do people still teach what he’s doing here??? Honestly?! That’s nuts.

Is that barrel coming from underneath? Lol 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Tell us about staying on top, Judy?

@theswingman444 @gritnj

@TomoLancer @gritnj Maybe this is the “ one legged” wrist snap the guru was talking about HE SAW…not even close…and you look like fools for teaching it lol

One legged

@theswingman444 @gritnj Your ignorant. Move along, no one is falling for your bait.

@gritnj @TomoLancer Hard to believe that you HLP protégés believe a guy that claims HE SAW Bonds snapping his wrist while standing “ one legged “ on video lol. And he never has shown a photo or slow motion video of Bonds ACTUALLY doing those things, hilarious!

@theswingman444 @gritnj You cannot even respond to the right thread. Hitting is way over your head. Move along.

@gritnj @TomoLancer No ELITE hitter starts their swing with 100% of their weight on their back leg. Not one Einstein!

@theswingman444 @gritnj So you are saying elite hitters are 50/50 at launch?

@TomoLancer @gritnj Ignorance is saying and believing a hitter is “one legged” when he launches his swing, and it’s clear that he has weight distributed on both legs.

@theswingman444 @gritnj You are the perfect definition of ignorance.

@TomoLancer @gritnj I have no desire to learn some slang or cute phrases that people come up with that make absolutely no sense!

@theswingman444 @gritnj Its a cue. Been used in HLP for 10+ years. Because what you just said is way more words than "One Legged". If you put the time in to study what is being taught, you would understand the terminology and cues. The baseball world (even non hlp) is full of it.

@TomoLancer @gritnj How does having MORE weight on one leg = being “”one” legged? Why not just say that he has more weight on his rear leg at launch? Why try to make it appear that you’ve come up with some revolutionary way of hitting when you haven’t?

@theswingman444 @gritnj At launch he is one legged. Weight always needs to transfer, but at launch, more weight is on rear leg than front - thats one legged.

@gritnj Not sure what you mean when you say “ one legged “, but it’s clear that he transfer weight forward into the front leg . The key to understanding how the weight is distributed is to look at the belly button, that’s a good indicator of where the body’s center of mass is located.

@CRAIG_LAPINER @gritnj Those stats at a DII, regardless of injuries, clearly show a swing that is no where close to where it needs to be. Imagine criticizing HLP (something proven to work at the highest level of the game) and one of your students has those stats at DII. Sorry man.

@TomoLancer @gritnj Sure you would if you knew me and knew how many injuries he has battled thru the last 3.5 years. Kid has more grit then anyone.

Two Pivot Points Stretching against each other to create an instant Snap of the Barrel. 🔑 Don’t think that HLP is some complicated system. We break the segments apart then combine them into one simple move. From there, your swing decisions will be much more consistent and more importantly, Quicker. #gritnj #gritnjfam

@CRAIG_LAPINER @gritnj I saw your son's stats, Craig. Maybe HLP could help him. I would not be criticizing anything hitting wise before first looking in the mirror.

@gritnj Hit the low strike pitch with that swing! Keep teaching the that HLPoo

@radiiy3 @Teacherman1986 @JoeRoderick You do not know what launch position is. RAR is the difference Rich is talking about.

@Teacherman1986 @JoeRoderick He even gets to about the same spot. Granted ortiz was a 86 mph change up and gorman was 99. The only difference is ortiz has his front foot pointing to the short stop. While gormans is at the dugout

Flip side of this video... Nolan Gorman needs to be able to hit 99mph fastballs #STLCards

@PavlovicNBCS Wish the Dodgers got him.

The A’s announced that they brought Bob Melvin back as a special assistant for baseball operations.

@gritnj Judge has the most balls called strikes since he came into the league. This will make him much better.

Crazy to think that this is going to make him even better…

@JJ0nez_3 @gritnj Have your grandson explain it to you.

@TomoLancer @gritnj Not sure what this means

Ah yes, more pictures of a swing during a drill where there was no focus of a forward move. (Even though the back leg is pivoting well) The picture actually shows a really good hand pivot point lol. Thanks Chris.

@JJ0nez_3 @gritnj Out of breath I assume.

@TomoLancer @gritnj Not reading that book of a response #BANG‼️
