Belly button gaining ground is a must.
Interesting. A connection between the 'hands' and the 'rear shoulder' through tension in the 'scap'. I appreciate that description. I would have been more impressed if you spoke of a connection between the 'hands' and the 'lower body' via the creation of tension in the rear 'scap'.
I have no interest in trying to impress you.
I find it interesting that you pull these two components out. Why? Because that is what I used to instruct a team last weekend. They did great. Makes me wonder if you are one of the team coaches, or just coincidence."forward as we take the ball out of the glove"-
and this:
"some refer to as a 'hand-engine' ... but it is really just an arm-action that is equivalent to the start of a side-arm throw."
together might really work well in getting a hitter to feel the proper action required.
What do y’all teach on the negative move? Most elite hitters compress front hip and back while posting up on firm back side. My experience on teaching hip compression (coil), is that most girls will over rotate upper body. I’ve tried to teach back butt check to Pitcher during negative but that has resulted in entire front side turning toward catcher too much. May be a non teach. I’ve focused on simply sinking back knee to post up against firm backside on pitcher movement and getting into legs. What y’all think?
