🏐⬆️ STAY TALL WHEN YOU HIT. One of the easiest ways to lose power and options is to collapse your body before contact. #BeachVolleyball #VolleyballAttack #HittingTips #ContactPoint #BeachVolley #VolleyballTraining #BetterAtBeach #TrainSmart

Jeff Bagwell -- Exit velocity and distance are for the fans. Hitting a ball 376 feet when the fence is 375 is great, but is it the best use of 570 at-bats out of 600? A focus on hitting for contact and getting on base is key, with homers being a bonus. #HittingTips

Falling back….dumping the barrel….. get a tire! #hitting #hdrhitting #hittingtips

If I see this stupid analogy one more time. 🤦🏼🤦🏼That ramp drill looks cool… but it can mislead hitters. The ball speeds up because gravity is pulling it the whole time.A swing doesn’t work like that. A bat accelerates from rotational force — ground → hips → torso → hands → bat. ➡️ Ramp = passive acceleration➡️ Swing = active acceleration And hitters aren’t starting from zero anyway. Good swings already have rhythm movement:• leg lift• load• coil• stretch reflex A small down move can help if it:✔ improves timing✔ keeps the barrel adjustable✔ stays controlled But it hurts if it:✖ lengthens the swing✖ disconnects the body✖ is forced This dump drill doesn’t create bat speed — the hitter does. #HittingTips #BaseballDevelopment #SwingTrainin

Load, Coil, Gather, whatever….YOU DON’T NEED TO LOOK LIKE YOU’RE TAKING A DUMP TO LOAD YOUR RUMP!!!!!!!!!! Hip coil isn’t a bathroom squat — it’s a flowing gather. When you lift, sit, and hold like you’re waiting for something to happen… you kill the spring. It’s more beneficial for a hitter to use a smooth, dynamic load → unload than frozen tension. ✅ Turn back and flow → the body unloads naturally ❌ Sit and hold → now you’re just stuck on the toilet Coil in motion. Don’t sit and hope. ******Now before anyone gets offended, this is a general self help for all hitters. If you get offended, oh well, 😂😂************* #HittingTips #HipCoil #BaseballTraining #StanceDoctor

“Turn behind the ball” or “have a deep turn” can be tough to explain without video— But the move is this: stride forward, then reverse the shoulders at heel plant. You’re not taking the back shoulder to the ball—you’re turning early and staying back. #hittingtips

Tired hitting cues that need retiring: ❌ “Squish the bug” → ✅ “Get your back foot weightless” ❌ “Hands to the ball” → ✅ “Turn behind the ball” ❌ “Keep your shoulder closed” → ✅ “Stay hip hinged” ❌ “Swing level” → ✅ “Front shoulder down & in longer” #hittingtips

“Happy feet” aren’t always bad—if there’s rhythm and control. Elite hitters rarely move both feet like that, but it’s okay if tempo is right. Try a metronome at 100–115 bpm (like Arenado’s ~110 bpm) to help young hitters find that groove. #hittingtips #baseball #softball

What is sequencing? In hitting, it’s the proper order your body reaches max speed: 1️⃣ Hips 2️⃣ Torso 3️⃣ Hands 4️⃣ Bat When that order is off, power consistency suffer. No K-Vest? Use slow-mo video: if hips start the move, you’re on the right track.⚾ #HittingTips #SwingSequence

If you’re struggling at the plate - your smartest move might be to lay one down. If you aren’t using movement, deception & pressure to create opportunities every AB - then what are you doing? 👉 KEEP GRINDING! #The9Hole #bunt #hittingtips #smallball #baseballtips

Failure is part of the game. What separates great hitters is their mindset. One bad AB doesn’t define the next. Mike Trout once went 0-for-21 in 2018… and still hit .312/.412/.628 that year. So don’t panic over a rough weekend. It happens—even to legends. #HittingTips

The hands don’t lead the swing — the hips do. 💥 Watch Morgan Howe: by the time she’s in bat lag, her belt buckle is already facing the pitcher. That’s “hips go first.” Hips → torso → hands → bat. Proper sequencing = power. #Softball #HittingTips

This hitter starts with hip hinge, so at launch (heel plant), there’s little adjustment needed. Starting upright would require more hinge to get into a strong position 📌At contact ✅Shoulders & barrel match angles ✅Maintains tilt—not level shoulders Great work here!#HittingTips

Timing Starts A slow, controlled load & stride is key for consistent timing. If your kid struggles with timing, mechanics may play a role (like the hitter on the right), but focusing on a proper load & stride will help a TON! -Slow to fast, not fast to fast. #HittingTips
