Help with swing, 15YO

Would you say being sudden is most valuable to a hitter? If not, what is?

Yes, I would. The second most important thing is vision. If you can't see the ball, you can't hit it.

IMO, most valuable is having the confidence, instilled from learning how to being sudden, to expect success in every at bat because there isn't a pitcher that you can't catch up to or adjust to.

I am going to say a bat....haven't yet seen a player get a hit without one...

It just felt with a good lower back stretch from the SnF setup that I could have waited forever...and when I started the swing it felt early but i was still able to hit up the middle and not pull everything...I guess the words of the day are "sudden" and "adjustable"

I definitely did NOT see any beach balls....but I used this vid as inspiration when taking a break.

For you and Red:

Adjustable to what? Speed or location?

If speed, why be adjustable if you are sudden.. If you can swing "instantaneous"?

If location, how are you adjustable to location when being sudden. How are you being adjustable if you are waiting to be sudden?


If you are being sudden, what does it mean to be on time? What are you on time to? Wait, then swing suddenly to pitch speed and location?

Care to answer any of the questions though?

Now that Rich had said his piece (and missed the boat) can you guys give it a shot?

Maybe my usage of the word "adjustable" is not the best chosen word for the ability to get the longest possible look at a pitch...
So yes "wait", so to say, giving yourself some advantage to judge speed and location, then "suddenly" swing.

That is my answer to all 7 or 8 questions....if I missed the boat, oh well.

Actually not "oh well". If I missed the boat, tell me about the boat. I will gladly be wrong for some free info.
