You’re flaring your ribs and pushing your hips in. That pulls your chest and shoulders away from the ball and creates that steep move. You don’t need to manipulate the barrel. You’re already in a good spot to swing from, so swing from it. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball

Load, then swing from that loaded position. If you release before you swing, you lose speed and accuracy. It’s like bow hunting. You don’t pull to full draw, let off, then shoot. Stay loaded and deliver from there. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

Stop swinging without a plan. Pick a target and a location. Right center, middle away, middle-middle, whatever fits. In game, avoid mechanical thoughts. Match the pitch to your approach, adjust your eyes and timing, then compete.

Don’t put force into the ground too early. That’s when the back knee slides, you lean back, and the swing feels like work. Grab the ground, sleepwalk through the load, then deliver force when it’s time to swing. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

Stop trying to swing down to a rise ball. You’re swinging to the window where the ball is going to finish. Hitting is an educated guess: process the info, trust the window, and give yourself the best chance. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #softball #hitting #approach

When contact gets too far away from your body, you get weaker and harder to adjust. Same as catching a football or receiving behind the plate. Stay behind it, keep your eyes in a better spot, and let the swing work from there.

2nd backside tank of the tournament off a low-90s arm 💣⚾️. Came up short in bracket play, but grateful for the opportunity to compete.

You don’t have to think the same way as your coach. If “the wall” helps you stay in the right move, use it. The goal is the result. Find the feel that keeps your chest from crashing forward and lets you stay through the ball. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting

2028 @Webb__Baseball 1B Nate Simmons (@Natesimmons2009) turns this pitch around for a no-doubt 3 run HR in the state tournament facing Grace Christian Academy. Big power potential will be fun to watch progress. #UNCOMMITTED

Stay in the oppo gap, but move the contact point forward. If it’s too deep, you roll over. Slide it up, hold your posture, and let the front shoulder work back through the ball instead of pulling off. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

When I ask what you feel, it’s to build awareness. So if you go 0-for-3, you don’t panic. You know what went wrong, how to fix it, and how to prepare for the next game. Confidence comes from understanding your swing. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting

Connect the barrel to the shoulder. When the barrel gets stuck up, you lean back, dump it late, and end up underneath. Keep it flatter and connected so the shoulder and barrel move as one piece. DM “HITTING” for real coaching. #baseball #hitting #mechanics

Your focus was too deep because you were trying to stay back. Once we moved contact out front, the load cleaned up, you gathered better, and you created time. Staying back doesn’t mean staying stuck. The party is out front. DM “HITTING” for real coaching.
