all of his hitting instructors for his minor league team and his off season hitting instructor. And, yes, they all want the kids to have a quick hand path down to the ball (don't get long) and try to create back spin.
I'm sure there are many approaches to hitting a ball. What works well for one may not always work well for another based on body type, athleticism and coordination.
I also work at the major league level.
I love it when guys teach swing down for backspin because it generally means that they are ruining their hitters and making it easier for my guys to win.
Again, while lots of people teach this, no good hitters actually do this.
