The bat and hand paths here are circles - even though the title of the video is 'a to b'.

Below is what they call a poor swing, and the hitter pushed his hands in an A-B fashion.

The moral of this story is, never listen to what MLB players say, only what they do in games, on normal swings.

Hands move toward the plate.

Away pitch. Straight line aka knob to. Then release the head.

I don't think you have to teach a circular or straight hand path. You just don't want to do anything abnormal like the clip/gif posted of the A to B hand path.

If my memory serves me right the bottom/last pic is when the barrel arcs early. Thus changing the hand/barrel path of the second pic of the hand path.

Doug saying pretty much to stay straight





Load the body, stay above and inside and get past the ball.

Swing buster would be proud.
