Thome discusses how to elevate the ball

Jim Thome and Eric Byrnes take to Studio 42 to demonstrate some hitting mechanics, focusing on getting through and elevating the ball

Thome is a class act, very underrated.

Thome is one of my all time favorite players. He is also one of my all-time favorite good guys. What's cool is it looks like he can still hit.

I love how he said “nice swing” like he’s talking to one of his 10 year old players 😂

“Once he opened my hips, it felt like I became free”

A good drill actually

[@wheredastacksat4369]

He didn’t do the teacherman swing! 👀🤔interesting

[@simpleagain1]

Yes he did. Thome was replicating Bonds violent bat tilt towards shortstop before snapping the barrel into the zone
