I hope all is well with you. At what age do you work with kids? My grandson is 8 and I have been working with him and the biggest thing is I have got him moving hips and shoulders before he swings the bat. He is the smallest kid on the team and he batted .700 (machine pitch) and made the All Stars. I am thinking if his love a baseball keeps at the same intensity when he reaches 12, I may bring him to you. Im afraid at 8 he wont retain th einfo.

Steve,
Never was this issue more apparent than when I was watching an interview with Nelson Cruz. He was explaining to the interviewer that he swung down on the ball to create ‘backspin’ and that was how he was able to hit so many home runs. (paraphrasing). In the game that had just ended he had hit two. I was astonished by his comments, so I rewound the game and analyzed his two home run swings. Both were typical rotational swings where the bat path was actually moving upward to the ball not down towards it.
It is truly amazing that a player at the MLB level has this kind of misconception of what his swing is actually doing. But, it proves your point dramatically.

Finding the right baseball hitting drills is always tough. The point about analyzing and applying makes a lot of sense. I don’t really know what kind of baseball hitting drills guys like Mike Trout used to become so good. But the all seem to know how to move really well.
