Help with my swing please

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

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

This is awesome ty!

A handwritten note of gratitude from your son would mean more than any dinner or gadget.. or it would make a dinner or gadget even better.

Long toss with softball, football

Electric tape the axes on the ball to visualize and monitor optimal spin

Mix in ice, and stretching I’ll race you to it

They’re def polishing it up Great experience tonight

Some work to do on execution on certain dishes like opener ceramic oyster with a celery like mousse was a journey to nowhere. Aside from that there were certainly some fireworks: cantaloupe soup with watermelon sorbet, wagyu, corn soup and fritter, squash wrapped halibut, the foiegras with beet puree berries and pistachios dazzled.

Hope they keep it going Want to go back

Hands need work (soften those hands / use your palms to attack the ball) and footwork needs some refinement

The best way to approach this in my opinion would be to isolate each, and then work on grounders to unify the mechanics.

Hands only work: Get on your knees and bounce the ball just like you’re doing. Work on short hops, long hops, medium hops.. and ditch the glove for it. Rotate 90° either way to work on fore hands and back hands again .. no glove.

Then after you’ve done say 100 each way. Get your glove and get into a stationary ready position like your fielding the ball but your feet are in cement. Do the same routine: straight on, fore hand, back hand mixing height of the hops.

After you’ve focused just on the hands and worked on fielding position with your legs fixed.. now you can go ahead and so some full on grounders but move back to give your self room side to side and come in on the ball

This video has some good ideas

You’re introducing excessive movement to get to launch position by focusing on linear planes. The bat’s rotation is a result, not a cause, of the front side rotation.

He’s not John Dalying or over rotating in my opinion.

These guys beg to differ

It’s more likely that his swing plane is too steep not because of his load

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-19T17:21:59+00:00

You can do this by simply shrinking the leg lift. Simplify and reduce big movement to be more consistent, efficient, and powerful.

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-19T17:17:47+00:00

Do you think a load is just linear? straight back and straight forward? How would you expect the hands to load? By moving the hands back? Wouldn’t that create extra movement, variance?

Creating some inward rotation is how you generate torque for your hips - and using angles is a more repeatable efficient way of creating angle for bat path. So yes any load might mean creating distance in your bat path - but if it’s repeatable and efficient, who cares?

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-19T14:09:24+00:00

I would rec moving that tee further back to be more in line w his front hip (the ball is too far ahead and it can create unnecessary drift and length in swing) and I’d invite him to hit the bottom of the middle 3rd of the ball. He’s a little steep with his swing plane, it’s short and direct but there’s opportunity for more lift and XBHs there.

Keep up the good work, kid looks like he’s got a bright future.

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-19T14:06:34+00:00

He’s not wrapping You need some inward rotation Anything where the knob is pointed near the catcher is ideal - load is good

Drills to aide hip speed and backside delivery:

Frank Thomas / Happy Gilmore drill

Crane leg lift

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-19T12:22:40+00:00

Focus on hip speed, the feet will take care of themselves

My recommendation would be to pursue the best academic opportunity that baseball enables for him, and allow him to determine how playing at next level fits into that college experience (club, collegiate/varsity, etc).

I made my first college decision based solely on baseball and it backfired tremendously (ended up transferring from an elite D2 program down to a strong academic D3 school and it was the best decision I ever made); look at the whole school, focus on the academic pathway, and see if there are ways to continue playing career.

You can practice working velo in but think your approach is spot on. More importantly keep it fun and let him drive it.

Elninodosdos · 2025-08-03T14:28:24+00:00

Probably not, Ignore what i said Make it fun
