- So happy for this young man!!!!!!!! Hunter Bishop @HunterBishop9 @SFGiants you’re getting a great young man!!!! He hits a little bit too!!
00:00 - The concept of Barrel depth and taking the hands out of the swing can work for some hitters, it can cripple others. If your swing feels long, around and slow, this drill will help you. Barrel out front to CF
00:00 - High Tee done right should be a staple of any hitting routine. Notice how the first ball he hits stays on a line. That’s 🔑. Don’t learn to turn the barrel without learning how to control the barrel. Also notice how he isn’t happy with the second rep!! ✅
00:00 - David Dahl - Early Go drill. Start the hitter on a verbal cue before your arm swing in flips. Force the hitter to start early, get to their spot and control it. @ddahl21
00:00 - This is a big league “let it eat” round Pull side HR Backside HR Dead center HR Pull side HR @ddahl21 is ready
00:00 - This #fridaydrill is explaining hand launch without hand push. I use the term "short hands, long barrel"
00:00 - Marte getting to the inner half without flying open with the shoulders and leaving himself exposed on the outer half. This is hitting not cage swinging.
00:00 - One arm work, feels, movement focused day w/ @BobbyDalbec A very deliberate, focused hitter and he’s got a little ⚡️🧨 in that bat too!
00:00 - PVC work for barrel turn. Barrel awareness by working to different pitch heights and locations. #fridaydrills
00:00 - I don’t post a lot of this, but here is a day of drill work and swings w/ @ddahl21 ✔️Constraint tee ✔️ Drop drill ✔️ Wall/Net Block ✔️ Lob Front Toss ✔️ Pull Only Round ✔️ Straight Round
00:00 - I use high tee a lot! Hit the ball head high. Here’s why: 1. Front arm and front shoulder stay flat. No forced elevation. 2. Barrel control, top hand down feel. Then for some hitters I blend the high tee feel w/ a “finish low” constraint in flips or BP.
