don't pull the hands out from under the barrel- turn the barrel with a strong wrist and in connection with the elbows and shoulders. don't turn the shoulders either during the barrel turn.

the hips work by rotating them against the rear leg until they are fully stretched, in which case they will then fire around.

make sure you are still swinging without the shoulders.

drill set:

turn the foot towards the pitcher and load the hip, and release it. turn the foot slightly in a repeat, until you get fully around to square. do 5x5 with this. do it on the turf mound and then move to flat ground. then do it on the turf mound again with barrel turn backwards. then move to the ground/ same. then do this w/ half swings, then half swings off the tee, and then finally off the tee. then go to front toss. then go all the way back through the routine, backwards.

its about love and passion. self-confidence is born in love and passion. don't question yourself, believe, and know that even if not currently you feel like you can be a big leaguer, you will eventually and that someday it will all pay off.

I've become a successful hitter because i've put in my ten thousand hours and figured out the right way to swing. I deserve it.

I love the game, every part of it, even running the bases and the outfield. Feel like in the outfield, that there is this tension right before the ball goes up in coach bogg's hand and that you feel this intense need to get under the ball and catch it, to not let it drop.

everything is born in love and passion.

thank-you jesus christ and god.
