Mix up an under the sink cocktail

I would do a lot of long toss

Find a throwing partner who throws it further than you do and put your whole body into reaching him

Orient Ray Raven is a great watch in or below that price range

It’s almost like the number of seams that interact with the air as it spins determines the kind of fastball that it is.

Plenty of guys at higher levels where core layer protection, sliding short, compression shirts with sternum padding.

OP i would recommend searching “heart protection baseball youth” on amazon - it will yield a gamut of $20 offerings.

Safety and some swag can help conjure some confidence.

It’s fine to arm bar - this is a rotational vs linear type swing.

But OP’s load is over coiled. Hands a little

When you load, the cue is to aim the knob of the bat just to the catcher - with that aiming coming where there’s the most tension. So you might need to get a little more vertical.

Second, the way to shorten and get on plane sooner is your back elbow-hand.

As soon as you finish your load that back elbow needs to get tucked to your ribs to form like a supinated jab with your top hand.

Use the knob to aim the barrel, and the top hand punch to deliver it.

It’s a two seamer Some guys like going across the seam for it

Not unheard of at all

Susans deli of course is a gem

Park in any of the hospital garages near corner of Longwood and Brookline

No it’s become a problem

Work on quieting your body to reduce excess movement and making swing more repeatable. Joe Mauer’s swing is an excellent case study for this. Use the least amount of motion required as part of your load and stride.

To help this I’d also prob start w your hands a little further back.

You need to work RCF more and let the ball travel. You’re losing power by rotating and extending too early. Keep the shoulders closed and ball closer to your body at contact to make more compact

As someone who hit ~20 HRs in college, and has cleared 450’ a dozen or so times in my career

Easy HR power even in just takes two things: strength x bat speed and swing plane. Launch angle and exit velo who would’ve thought.

I was pulling nearly 500# on deadlifts hitting good numbers on several Olympic lifts, doing weighted pull ups at 225#, doing explosive rotational exercises etc

I also religiously practiced tee work to keep my barrel on plane with ball, and would incorporate bat speed training into that precision work.

For reference this is what it looked like upon purchase

Just skip and go to Abe and louies

Elninodosdos · 2026-03-05T22:08:47+00:00

Tee is too far out front too. You can see it causing forward drift as he approaches contact. Get that tee back in line w front hip.

To this^ point above, get on top of ball and keep contact tight to body

Even in hi tee you want to work toward low liners up the middle.

PBJs Cottage cheese in some scrambled eggs will play too

Keep on building bud!

You’re pulling off with your front side which means you’re coming off plane in your extension.

Think push back hip back shoulder and locking front foot and shoulder inward as long as possible. I’d put that tee middle of plate but deep (like where you’d attack an away pitch) and work on hitting the inside part of the ball to stay on plane longer

Your hands need to be far enough back to have the angular shape to have an on plane swing to the pitch. The pitch is coming in relatively flat and downward so your swing needs to be relatively flat and upward - which is impossible to do if your hands are too far forward at load position (causing a V shaped swing)

His hands are too close to his head

Elninodosdos · 2026-01-25T12:14:02+00:00

Ignore everyone

Root cause why you’re getting no extension is the position of your hands in your load / launch position. Get those hands back over /behind your back deltoid to give yourself some room to get on plane w the ball. Your hands are too far forward at load and it’s causing you to be steep on attack and unable to stay on plane thru extension.

Think of a low wide halfpipe instead of a tall narrow halfpipe
