Top because he drives his legs, and the arm velo is absolutely insane

There is a huge factor being ignored here, and that is the bats themselves. Guys with the fastest swings swing the longest and thinnest bats barreled bats. This means smaller sweet spot, but since everything is maple and birch now, and every bat is delivered with a compressed barrel, EVs will be highest. Whereas contact hitters like Arraez swings a short CU26, which is more or less a tennis racket. The barrel is massive, which makes it harder to swing fast. However, you really don’t need to since the mass of the barrel will do a lot of the work for you, so you can have a nice short swing and get results. I think teams will optimize to get the best of both worlds, like Wilson Contreras has, by having strong, powerful hitters swing shorter, bigger barreled bats with shorter swings, maybe losing a little max batspeed, but also getting better contact quality more often. Then of course, which was mentioned here was adjustability. A shorter, thicker bat can be swung plenty hard.

interesting what do you think of smaller batters that do well, like Steven Kwan of the Guardians?

Lower your fucking prices da fuq is this

🔥

I hit off a tee into a net, my radar is about 20 feet behind the net. I simulate pulling, oppo and middle by shifting my feet and stance

Will the Trajekt Robot be able to use smash factor balls with same ball movement (as a regular ball)?

Spin rate 0 is crazy

76 because is a fast hitter

Can you hit regular baseballs with it

He looks like he gets into an inverted W

Tommy John will get ya there quick

My stepdad was his Great Uncle. Slinging it.

Please collab with MLB the show. Utilize your mo-cap to improve the awful pitching motions in the game.

Bring Julio there pls!

Great video

God damn driveline is so cool. I’m glad the ideas Kyle Boddy has been pushing for so long have really made it into the mainstream.

Great place to ruin your career

Hi

that was sick as hell. let's go lars

Legacy?

first cutter was tight

Cant believe the Mariners let this guy go for free. Sad stuff

What should I be tracking while in game, and talking about making spreadsheets as I don't have access to Trakt do you have a template that would help outline what I'm keeping mental notes of

Try launch quickness training, it works.

I agree. I have 2 sons, they are less than 4 years amd I had them play together. My younger son is not stronger or faster, but he is more consistent on making contact. I think in part his swing is slower he stays on the hiz zone faster..While my older son swings faster and tends to be early most of the time and swings out of the hitting zone sooner than when the ball arrives. I video both of them and after games, we watch their swings in slow motion an see what happened

To hit the ball harder, dont swing harder, watch it harder. Least, that usually worked for me - but i always hit with mine shirt on;)

Does weight of the bat play any role or is it purely bat speed?

Fuck yea baby

I like this thanks! But what about the contact points in front of homeplate more HRs etc, but what about in relation to where the hitter stands and the individual contact point? Is he in front of the batters box or more in the back? I think I need to know that to understand contact points, not only in relation to homeplate.

#PersonallyLoveTheCommentaryThere!

Great info!

Good stuff

always, always for the fences..

Wow! That’s amazing

Bat speed is so irrelevant. A high guy can swing soft and hit way harder than a smaller guy who swings really hard. Look at Gary Sheffield, he swung out of his shoes but never hit longer home runs. Then you have Adam dunn and he could hit the ball a country mile with a easy smooth swing. It’s more about incorporating the certain muscles of the body. You’re just trying to make money and hitting coaches need to preach bat speed to keep people convinced they need help increasing it

I spent years perfecting mechanics and my Dad spent a lot of money But i wanted to hit the ball over the fence and I know it messed up my swing I was more concerned about the lower part of my body to generate power than hitting to all fields The power would've come with time but patience is hard to teach

Great video!

Did that say Ty France has a bat speed of 84.9 MPH?

Great video. Top notch, really.

I remember Mason from the bat bros home run derby

One of yopur most informative videos on a great topic.

Edit velo of a fifth grader

His hair cut in that makes him look like he was made in a German factory

You need to work harder to make this video more boring. Try the golden rule, never show, just talk people to death.

If the guardians don’t draft him #1 then they don’t know what they’re doing

1st listen and loved it... Love the end of skin in the game.. same position with you son who loves the game and wants to get better. Me as a physical therpaist and experience in video throwing anayalsis have already started the training and mechanics now, even though we know as my seven year old grow the mechaincs are going to change and develop. But its about the development over time and the building g blocks. A question is where do you stand with playing other sports in offseasons to help with that long term development? I think for sure in young kids, but what about high school kids where things start to become more specialized?

I would think that recognizing the pitch early is an important skill.

One thing that would be nice to see, is a 3D model of the strike zone and where exactly in that zone the ball passes through. For ex, a curve ball, do you wan that to break heavy before it actually gets to the strike zone so that the batter misses? Or does it pass through the front-bottom end of the strike zone?

cool. i'm a newbie with a 9 yr old pitcher, but this was interesting.
