I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with the message only your way of conveying it with Romero.
It's all good and a fair point on your part. Hitters swings do change. Just wanted to provide something with a little more credibility from a comparison point of view.I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with the message only your way of conveying it with Romero.
what you don’t seem to get is maybe she was expecting something? Looking high or low? Nobody’s BSing you. You are confused.
Why does it matter unless you think women and men swing differently..And why do you guys use baseball examples most of the time, some all the time?
What is obvious here and on all swings is shoulder tilt or angle is adjusted to take the bat-head yo the ball on the proper plane. The hips adjust to create balance, so so might say that if they have a modicum of athleticism, their body adjusts automatically. Some players adjust the height of the knees, I did! But what is not required for an athlete is a 36 volume on the symantics of the swing. Otherwise you would have a 36 volume set for each team.
And why do you guys use baseball examples most of the time, some all the time? There are basics you could list on your 10 didgets, known as fundamentals, you can teach the kids and leave off the layers of your virtuous views of mechanics of this or that. Because honestly, none of our kids will be Mike Trout or likely Sierra Romero!
Yes that is obvious and the point I am making, shoulder tilt does adjust.. aka posture, to get the barrel on plane, to provide space for the hands to work. But shoulders tilt and chest gets over the ball because what happens at the hips... and of course the legs are involved in creating posture. However my point is not about what creates posture, its about the fact posture changes depending on pitch location.I am not directing this at Pattar or julray.
What is obvious here in all your videos and photos, in all swings, is that shoulder tilt or angle is adjusted to take the bat-head to the ball on the proper plane.
We see it on here all the time, young hitters (sometimes pros like JD Martinez's old swing) who have no posture, or don't understand how to get to a ball by adjusting posture. They either end up swinging down on a low pitch.. steep angle or DBSF. Can't believe you haven't seen this before in all your years of coaching? Or maybe its been a while. You coach a national team right?... most of these hitters already know how to hit by the time you see them.The hips adjust to create balance, so so might say that if they have a modicum of athleticism, their body adjusts automatically.
Legs are involved in creating/adjusting posture. Most of the time when a person bends at the knees they also adjust at the hips. Again not interested in discussing what muscles are used to create postureSome players adjust the height of the knees, I did!
There's a much larger pool of baseball swings. But I try to use fastpitch examples for the most part.. Romero in this case.And why do you guys use baseball examples most of the time, some all the time?
Posture is a very basic and fundamental part of the swing. A lot of simple drills out there to help kids understand posture. I've seen you discuss much more advanced topics than posture on here. If you don't understand how to create and maintain posture, good luck.There are basics you could list on your 10 digits, known as fundamentals, you can teach the kids and leave off the layers of your virtuous views of mechanics of this or that. Because honestly, none of our kids will be Mike Trout or likely Sierra Romero! But you can get them as close as you can as long as you; don't burn them out, confuse them, or put mechanical burdens on them they are not capable of.
Yes, he is adjusting posture to get to those pitches. FTR, he starts with the same hip hinge angle in both swings, he adjusts posture just before/at/ and a little after heel plant to get to those pitchesAnd in Trout's photos he is compressing, getting lower, probably because he is anticipating that pitch to be lower than the pitch that was up a little.
If it was normal, we wouldn't have to teach it. Many kids do not react this way. I shouldn't say just kids, it happens at all levels.Seems like a normal reaction, not a calculation!
Love to see a sample of you doing thisOn slower more junk-ball pitchers, I at times hit with my back knee almost touching the ground. It has to be learned and controlled, but it worked. The longest reach a batter has is on a pitch low and outside. That is in particular why you see a lot of arm-barred swings on that particular pitch, in an effort to reach it, especially if batters are pull-happy

Hitters wouldn't have to arm bar as much on an outside pitch if they created and maintained posture. However I get what you are saying, more arm bars do occur when a pitch in low and away, I'm just saying great posture can help a hitter cover the plate more.
