Steps to a good swing?

Question

Ok well I guess you could say I've always been known as a power hitter. Well finally this year I got invited to play at a tournament with a bunch of traveling teams/traveling team players. So a coach was watching me swing (not that I can't hit, because I can, I just need a few adjustments on it.) and tried to help me...pretty much all I got was keep your elbow in and swinging elbow out? Hard to explain.

But really the main question is that is there a place to find any slow mos of good swings/steps...anything like that?

Answer 1

You have to stand in a good position with your feet spread apart elbow out and dont choke your bat back to far

Answer 2

Flexibility, mechanics, and a wood bat will get you on your way to becoming a better hitter. Now before you look away from this let me explain. I can bet good money that you are not as flexible as a gymnast so until you are you have not done your job on making yourself flexible, which will make it easier for your body to move when you hit the ball and run the bases.

Now for mechanics, you have to video tape your hitting mechanics and learn where you are making errors in the hitting motion. Watch video of how Major League ballplayers hit the ball (go to www.mlb.com or www.youtube.com or google search "MLB First Year Player Draft") and take the quality basics of their mechanics in the videos and apply it to how you hit the baseball.

Good luck with the training! Feel free to email me if you have any questions at [e-mail]. Look forward to talking with you.
