8/14 hitting

get foot down early, lean over (load body) and cock hips (and foot, show back pocket to pitcher) - then pick up ball

hands away from body- tip bat towards second basemen
take hands straight to ball in a diagonal
hands go out in front of body - bat snaps out front instead of swinging around the body
"foot down, use hands"

video of david wright on STACK mag is good inspiration and example for imitation

8/15
stay on ball- keep front shoulder and head down and on ball
get backspin off tee
learn the early stride: touch toe down, load body, cock hip, foot and leg. I can really feel my footwork (heel before heel) improving when i do this and my hips firing.
