Every hitter I train learns to get behind the ball and why it helps them be more consistent. It’s what turns weak rollovers into balls you actually drive with authority. The cue I use the most for this: Keep your eyes behind it and finish all the way through the ball. This helps you stay on the ball too. (There are many benefits) These 4 MLB guys do it about as clean as it gets.

🚨 Korean Pitching Movement Drills • Emphasis on a stable front leg + • Keeping the back leg loaded ⭐️ The legs are the engine. Flexibility & strength in your lower body is one of the healthiest way to create more power/velocity.

‘27 Ethan Wayman (Christiansburg l Visions Select Baseball 18u) Consistently mixed in both FB and CB for strikes. Worked both sides of the zone to get weak contact. FB: 85-87 T88 CB: 76-77 @PrepBaseballVA #MDCampusSeries

Trusting this concept immediately gets you quicker: Think about taking your dry swing… no applied force into an object. Then, while looking at the ball, take the same dry swing. Most would change their swing because of the ball. Changing = wasting time. 👀 Watch the overlay. Same exact swing. One dry. One with a ball running into it. ⚾️ @DavidThau22 (2030)

Simple but effective!

In Pete Rose’s first game as a player-manager, he hit a stand-up double and still went into second with a headfirst slide.
