The real question in regards to shift then swing thoughts should be does the weight shift across the pelvis before go.. If the hitter is able to keep from transferring across the pelvis for all pitches then the shift and swing is a non issue.
Yeah , from the belt down , for starters 'elite' on the left not 'elite' on the right.
The kid has "it", it being the launch position transfer or the change of direction, or overlap. That is why I said he has an elite swing, because I first saw this swing about 18 years ago. And at the time we all had dial up and you had to wait for the gif to upload one frame at a time. And as the frames and swing unfolded I knew it was a good swing for a kid.
... as well as from the belt up.
Is there something about the belt that folks wish to point out?
During the high knee lift, the pro's belt stay's at the same height, while the amateur's belt line is different.
Bold above is what I noticed. The amateur's front hip raises too much, in my opinion.
One hitter gets 'sat' and slides off of the bar stole. The other stays tall and 'jumps' off of the bar stole. I already pointed out that one is 2 legged.
