      I’ve noticed this trend a lot recently. A lot of people love to create this big load and have a huge power stroke type swing, a lot of kids always start like that, maybe because catching up with little league pitching isn’t an issue. But it’s just not ideal for making a lot of contact. Just go straight to the ball

    The stride step has no benefit to the swing itself. It's all about timing and rhythm. Unfortunately, timing is the main cause of many issues in the swing. A lot of young hitters also tend to prematurely shift their weight forward with the step, losing power in the swing. I always recommended the "post-stride" technique, or what I personally did was start with an open stance and then step into a loaded stance. It kept my weight back and wound up while allowing me to be set early enough that timing would stay consistent no matter the pitch.

  • @tylergayden5374
    @tylergayden5374 Před 10 měsíci

    And ball players are always encouraged that ‘it doesn’t matter where you start, as long as you get to where you need to be’. My hitting coaches growing up altered my stance to where my hands were already positioned at the “load point” like CG and Judge are explaining. Very uncomfortable for someone who prefers to position their hands more freely so it takes a lot of reps for it to feel natural but the results are undeniable once you adopt it. This technique is almost mandatory for players with low read-n-react skills or naturally slows hands
