3 10u Students - Feedback Appreciated

I like the approach of having them move forward to get into a leveraged position while the hands stay idle.. Similar effect of the fake bunt and swing.. Definetly won't have time to do this off a machine without some type of timing mechanism.

That's how I felt about it. Fake bunt and swing, just doesn't have the bat horizontal.

I would draft Kenzie first.

Her dad was the most talented baseball player I ever shared a field with. Injuries ended up costing him a great college career.

I want to see what Kenzie looks like without that forward handset...

Ask and ye shall receive.

The first two are not coiling in, they are coiling out.

The last one coils in a little, but has other problems. Back foot pointed backward, and back forearm is vertical at toe touch, causing severe bat drag..

Do you mean horizontal? Just making sure we're clear.

If you start the hands that forward I don't think you can wait till the stride out to move them back, there won't be enough time unless you rush your sequence. Notice Davis gets them to a "normal" position first then starts to move out.

I LOVE this dude's swing. Have used it so many times as a visual for kids.

Getting to that position slows the game down for hitters.

Looks a bit rushed there too. She does have others things she needs to work on but the first thing maybe drilling in the thought process of "slow and early".

You said 10U, just out of curiousity is she 9,10 or 11?

He meant the hitter's back forearm was vertical at toe touch which typically results in "bat drag".

Her forearm is closer to vertical. She has already begun her swing on one leg, by dropping her back elbow so much that her shoulders are already upside down (rear is down, not flat or up). The back elbow should not begin to come down until toe touch.

I guess I would have her dry drill to coil her shoulders INWARD much much more and hold the coil longer. Plus check the forearm.

After toe touch, the knees should begin to roll over, and the elbow starts to drop.

Gotcha. The shot I saw looked more horizontal...but I understand what you're talking about there.
