Hosmer talks about timing his separation to hit. Not his hips. Not his front foot. He wants to feel his 'stretch' on time with the pitcher. When he creates his separation on time( forward move with walking away from his hands) he feels he is at his best. You time your sequence ( separation ) to the ball. I mostly agree with your quote.

So to answer your question Shawn. I feel it starts on the move out and ends when the hands start to go forward.



His barrel path is not something I teach because I coach fastpitch where almost all pitches are level and or 'rising' not dropping. An on top mentality is best I feel for softball.

Ps. Had a USA player/all American at my tryouts last weekend. She has played for a few top notch programs. Hitting prowess is not something all programs have she exclaimed to me. It wasn't a shocker. Kinda disappointing. She said Clint Meyers and staff know what there doing .

So, are you saying that softball players should swing different than MLB players. I watch college softball and the swings seemed to be the same as MLB.
