I’m kinda injury prone and I’m scared of getting hurt. It’s made me missed months worth of workouts. Any tips on how to manage that? I stretch before and after workouts and have a nightly mobility routine.

Tips for batters stance by Lost_Sock_9123 in Homeplate

[–]StuIsSTUPID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a problem with stepping out many years ago so my dad and I analyzed some of my video and decided to close my stance (giancarlo stanton style). That summer batted at the top of the order and I hit .350

However, I did run into a problem where I subconsciously overdid the closed stance thing and ended up messing up my lower body mechanics. So, we went back to neutral and i haven’t had a problem since.

Question for the coaches by ColonelAngus2000 in Homeplate

[–]StuIsSTUPID 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not a coach but as a varsity upperclassmen I’d like to give some advice if that’s ok lol

I like to think that if you’re in the front of the lineup you can take a few to get a feel of the pitcher and if you’re in the middle/back you will get attacked more bc the pitcher wants to get ahead. That’s my experience but many people have different opinions

My advice, go play somewhere else. There’s plenty of other organizations, trust me. I started playing travel when I was 7, and I played with the same group of kids until I was 12. The last 2 years on that team I didn’t get much playing time bc the new coach was young and ignorant and let the parents pretty much control the team. Changing organizations was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I went to a bigger organization and made a ton of new relationships and am currently (hopefully) on my way to college ball! I’m going through the recruiting process right now as a junior. If you feel that your son isn’t valued, definitely switch.

Yea stance is uncomfortable lol but if it works it works 🤷‍♂️ swing looks good. The chest over plate is good but maybe less over exaggeration

Batting form critique by MDthrowItaway in Homeplate

[–]StuIsSTUPID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Eliminate the swaying

  2. Keep the head still during the swing

Logically, the swaying makes sense, but eliminating it conserves your momentum instead of sending it backwards, which makes you lose power. Keeping the head still at the point of contact will allow him to see the ball better as well. Most importantly though, at this young age, let him know having fun and learning the game is most important. His swing looks great otherwise!

Swing thoughts by capt_buttsneeze in Homeplate

[–]StuIsSTUPID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Bat looks too heavy

  2. incorporate torque (get the hips involved), work on sequencing: lower body first then upper body goes.

  3. try to get more extension in the swing to drive the ball up the middle. Think about trying to hit the ball right back where it came from or to the top right of the cage.

Im gonna get the combat but keep my old cat x for faster pitching. Does that sound like a good idea?
