Dante talking - Loft, His approach & 2 strike hitting. Upon the hundreds of hours of these talks over the last 5+ years, this 2 mins and 30 seconds of simplicity, is probably the most difficult for a hitter to buy into. When to play out front and when not too!

YOUR HEAD CAN CHANGE YOUR HANDS! ⚾🥎

That little movement can interrupt the hands, change the barrel path, and affect the quality of contact.

It doesn’t take much! A slight interruption can be the difference between squaring up a baseball or softball and swinging right through it.

Small movements. Big consequences.

Keep the head quiet doesn’t guarantee success, but it leads you in the right direction to find it!!!

HOME RUNS ARE GREAT, BUT LINE DRIVES BUILD HITTERS! ⚾️💥

11-year-old Quinn Savard can flat-out RAKE! Hits home runs too! But when we train, we’re focused on LINE DRIVES!

The more often your barrel matches the plane of the pitch (through the strike zone) the more opportunities you have for success.

Let the power happen naturally!

Great work here by Quinn! 👏

BIG POWER DOESN’T NEED A BIG SWING! 💥🥎

This young lady has some serious POP!Power isn’t something we’re chasing. It’s already there!

The challenge? Learning to OWN it and CONTROL it.

Here we’re working from Launch to Extension.

Watch the hands! We don’t want big, long, slow movements. Her focus is getting those hands moving FORWARD, past the blue line, creating a clean plane to the pitch.

We’re not trying to create more power. We’re teaching her how to use the power she already has!

The game power will take care of itself.

The back foot should be PULLED through, not PUSHED or SPUN out!

The back foot is reacting to what’s happening above it.

As the pelvis rotates and the back hip comes through, the back foot releases naturally.

Stop trying to create rotation by spinning your foot into the ground.

Free the back hip. Let the back foot follow.
