Balance and timing

[Work=wins]

If we are talking approach (hitting plan) that I am referring to you are moving out fb and timing middle away.. This allows you to turn on the middle in off-speed with limited adjustments (sitting action). When using this approach I typically would let the inside fb's go unless 2 strikes.

I will say this was my approach early or behind in the count.

What would have been your approach if they had a good change up?

WW, same approach, although If your movement pattern isn't dynamically balanced you may be exposed.

A couple of swings. Approach was timing for a middle away fastball and adjusting to whatever comes.





Since adjustments can’t be made until foot down.. controlling when to put that foot down will help w adjustments on time. You can see the foot down ‘early’ w an inside pitch. See the weight transfer more before foot down w an outside pitch and less on an inside pitch. More weight will shift through launch on an inside pitch through rotation.

Been there done that. It’s just more crap to lug to the field.

Kid is a pitcher. Had 2 through the years. Both were misplaced or stolen. Shes old now. She doesn’t care. But when she was little she wanted to see the colors on the plate when she practiced pitching. She actually puts the glove down for me. So I can’t expand the zone on her. LOL.

Great job W! Happen to have a normal speed clip?

Nice swings WW. For how "different" our philosophies are, she checks many of the boxes that I look for. That's meant as a compliment, so I hope you take it that way...

On a separate note, is that one of those annoying domed home plate cages behind her? We have played some tournaments on fields with those. Let's just say I'm not a fan...

Are you advocating this as a teach for every swing? Or just something to work on for making adjustments?

They’re choppy so I usually just slow them down. Can see a bit more.

Thanks FP. Which boxes are checked and unchecked for you?

Yeah. Those domes are fugly. No chance for the catcher to make a play. Have seen the ball ricochet hard off one of the beams. Not ideal.
