Attack
the ball each swing.
|
| Belt
buckle should snap quickly toward pitcher as bat is "thrown" at the ball. |
| Contact
each pitch in appropriate contact zone. |
| Do
not elevate front shoulder during swing. |
| Eliminate
weight rushing forward during stride. |
| Focus
on the ball all the way to the point of contact. |
| Get
the back side to stay tall at contact. |
| Hips,
snap, elbow extend, and wrists elongate at contact. |
| Initiate
a slow coil as pitch is being delivered. |
| Just
keep hands loose and flexible and throw them at the ball. |
| Knees
spin in unison during the swing. |
| Level
hip and shoulder rotation during contact. |
| Maintain
the front shoulder down, hip weight back and front knee during stride. |
| Never
think about things other than the baseball during each swing in a game. |
| Once
the bat meets the ball, the back shoulder and chin should graze together in
order to keep eyes on the ball and the back side from dropping. |
| Point
the front hip pocket slightly toward the pitcher prior to pitch in order to
build hip speed. |
| Quit
straightening out the lead elbow prior to contact - this will product a
long, slow swing. |
| Roll
wrists after contact is made. |
| Stride
with a "closed" front toe. |
| Turn
back heel upward during contact. |
| Unify
the hips and hands together during the swing. |
| Visually
track each pitch from pitcher's fingers. |
| Weight
distribution with the hands and hips is slow during the coil and stride and
then is quick during the swing. |
| X-ray
visually the speed, spin and location of each pitch. |
| Yes
to strikes, no to balls. |
| Zero
tension during each plate appearance in the game. |
