The same advice can be said for a lot of hitters. You don't need the new Hype Fire to hit better. You just need to turn more.

Struggling to create depth in the swing or can’t get on plane early with FBs? Try out the Kershaw drill with an open stride This will force the hitter to back up their point of contact and challenge their ability to get on plane at the back of the swing zone @CamFoster1

Toe-dominant loading strategies often lead to early hip extension The fix? Hinge and stay hinged during load/stride! Here's @JevinPatterson learning to hinge properly: ➡️Kershaw Drill ➡️Tee behind him to reinforce hinge pattern during stride ➡️Angled Plyos ➡️TURN

Want to diagnose a hitter's issues quickly? Watch their feet Toe-dominance & a ton of lateral force (often seen as jumping off the back side) can create a few issues: ➡️Generally Late timing and/or rotation ➡️Handsy sequencing ➡️Trouble getting the ball in the air pull side

yep, we use the med balls with handles (1/2/4 lbs) and the plyo balls like this. works really well for improving bat speed through lead arm strength if you dont have a proteus. radar them & works really well.

In a perfectly sequenced swing, the torso decelerates to help deliver the lead arm. If your front arm is casting off and pushing, you’re going to struggle with a down and across swing. Give this feel a try before you swing 👀🔥

Why Driveline? Hear from our Director of Hitting, @tstokey, on what sets us apart.

I recently completed my dream internship as a hitting trainer at Driveline Baseball. During my time at Driveline, I learned countless lessons about the science and art of coaching. Here are the 5 most important ones: 🧵👇

Hittrax not measuring spin is such an easy limitation to work around. Here’s an example of how a productive rep in the cage might go: Take a swing, see your ball flight. “Decent ball, but feels like I top spun it a little” Check hittrax: “nice, 100 at 13” Check blast: *attack angle 19* Check Hittrax again: *point of contact 17”* “Okay, my attack angle was a bit higher than my launch angle, confirming my thought that I top spun it. Probably because my point of contact was a bit too far out front. But my exit velo was solid, and that’s a good line drive. Decent miss. Let’s hit another 100 line drive but with true spin next swing. I’ll try to do that by backing up my point of contact”

Spent some time at Driveline today getting to know Bend, Oregon outfielder Slater de Brun. Big personality. Kid has packed on muscle this winter. Working to more consistently create more backspin. Vanderbilt commit.

Pelvis/Lead Leg has to clear to maintain “slot”, speed, & direction. Too many hitting coaches don’t teach that clearing the lead hip leads to a deep/connected bat path. The deeper dive is in the how setup & rhythm during loading sequence impacts ability to clear & stabilize the swing.

Training bat speed from different angles is vital to maintaining positions and creating an efficient path. We've got @jackcooper1028 training bat speed with direction: ⚡️Oppo angled CB with a barrel load ⚡️Pull angled SL with a handle load ⚡️ Straight on FB with an underload

In 2020, @talking_hitting & I applied a competitive system in Extended & FCL (20 weeks) -Separated Teams, tracked stats/metrics, had a running scoreboard. Key takeaways: -Value it? Train, track, post, compete, reward!🏆 -Development can thrives when it happens organically!💰

working on creating a coil by holding space in the back hip, then unraveling it into foot plant. Been working with @talking_hitting @DrivelineBB for the past 3 months Looking for professional opportunities DMs are open

They broke the booth. Rematch scheduled for tomorrow at 11am.
