Creating a Foundation

The toughest thing for young hitters to do is consistently create a base to hit from.  When I am in the cage hitting with young players the number one mechanical flaw I see is that hitters do not create a base for themselves to hit from. Most hitters are just trying to master the first swing that was taught to them. Many hitters never experiment with other ways to load. Next time you are in the cage I challenge you to try these three simple ways to create a base for yourself. Tall and fall to landing like Tullo, Hip movement in a no stride base like Goldy and the gather and go by Miggy. FEEL how your body reacts to these ways of generating momentum which ultimately create timing in your swing.
