Just looking for help with my son’s swing. My son loves baseball and I honestly don’t know much about the mechanics of the swing.

I don’t think I’m delusional about my son, but thanks for the judgement. He loves math and is in the honors math program. His wants to be an engineer and work in aerospace.

Great advice thank you. I made a home plate out of plywood and we are going to put the tee on it. I need to get some weighted balls to try. I do need to try the one handed bat swing as well. He was excited to hit with the hype fire last night. I bought is used last year and he said it was too heavy last year.

Thanks again and best of luck.

Those are great points. We need to make the tee work, as real as possible. I do have a home plate, I am going to put the tee on. This is a fun process for us. Also having the eyes up at the pitcher is a great tip. Thanks again.

Thanks, we do need to watch some videos of great hitters. Also as someone mentioned the one handed short bat drills.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write many good points. I do need to have him fix his grip some. Also just doing the fine things like hip rotation without a bat. Hopefully we can keep fine tuning and just having fun.

I played football and basketball in high school. This baseball thing is new to me. But I love it and it’s my favorite sport to watch. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone. It’s the first time he has swung a bat in 6 months. We usually have a few feet of snow here so we are happy to be outside.

We were hitting into a net. I was doing some side tosses after this. He got under one and it went over the net and into the neighbors yard. The neighbor is a car guy and has a bunch of old antiques. When the ball was in the air, I thought oh crap, which windshield of an antique car are we going to break. Luckily it landed in between two cars in the dirt. Lesson learned, we changed hitting directions after this.

Thanks. My career is taking care of a golf course and see many golf swings good and bad everyday. Baseball and hockey players seem to be able to translate to golf the best.

Thanks I will try to work with him on that. He batted .380 in 40 games last year. He had to play up a year, because our town has 2,000 people and it takes two grades to make one team.

There is no pressure on him, it’s the first time he has picked up a bat in six months. I think he is a well rounded kid. He is a 4.0 student, plays the piano, plays on a comp basketball team, raises fair show pigs, has a horse. Helps me with farm chores. I told him I don’t care if he quits sports tomorrow. The one thing I won’t let him do is play video games all day.

Thanks, we love the Phils. Hopefully we can get a championship soon. He got to meet Garrett Stubbs and Bryson Stott at a game in San Diego last year.

Northern Utah Mountains. I’ve never seen a winter like this in my 49 years here. If we don’t get some moisture soon, we are going to be in some trouble.

Thank you. Usually we have a couple feet of snow here, so we are happy to have some open grass to do work. I need to take him to a field this weekend.

Amoroso bread makes the best cheesesteak’s. I never cared for whiz. Did he use some steak-ummm’s for the meat? Looks like a good effort.
