16 yo struggling with SO and pop ups

So what's the answer? Who's on first? Where am I?

Just answer the 1st question if you can, lol

Ask her what she thinks she needs?

Sure he can video and the re-post, but you want the player to have some sort immediate feedback when she is doing it correctly and without know what "right" feels like, it is hard to do here without some sort of external goal (IMO of course..)

The movements creates things. Those turn into feels. External goals are overrated.

I was talking specifically about what @TDS suggested with regards to emulating Freeman..no movements were suggested..just a feel.

With regards to external goals, hitters learned how to hit that way for a 100 years..not the most efficient way to do it necessarily but I wouldn't discount it entirely.

Is this called the "cast out drill"?

So you’re a fan of push and slice?

She'll just repeat what she hears from me; don't shift to front hip, stay back, don't drop the bat head, front elbow up, turn your back hip...

I told you. Sequence the movements from the middle of the body. Stop using the arms and legs to create force.

This reminds me of the driveline external cues mantra that has since been tossed aside for more movement based options.

Edit: they have since learned that hitting is a timing based event.

Step 1.) Throw that tee in the trash (can burn it if you want to)
Step 2.) Hit fly balls off of another tee (get her head to go backwards at launch)

If you say so..were you trying to insult me?

No. I’m just saying that timing dictates all not a certain path. Those are timing based.
