The problem we have is explaining what hitters do. It's something I struggle with - how to explain what comes naturally to great hitters like Manny Ramirez.

Mookie Betts uses his front leg for leverage and front foot for ground reaction force. Notice his back foot skip as he transfers his weight forward into contact.

This book from 1994 gave us four things that are now integral parts of hitting fundamentals and conversation: 1) inside the ball (Ben Hines, p.56) 2) the law of the conservation of angular momentum (p.16) 3) coiling action of the back hip (p.59) 4) not cloning hitters (p.73)

@uTeeBaseball @Teacherman1986 Bregman is a high-level hitter, just not HLP. This is not new. Watch Roberto Clemente. Back hip coil is for the stability needed to move forward in the stride, especially with a leg lift. See Justin Turner. Dr. Kelly Starrett explains it here.

Albert Pujols does NOT start his swing by "snapping" the barrel back toward the catcher or sideways. He starts down. Then, he uses his core, obliques included, to turn the barrel.

Diamond overlooked the contribution of Mike Epstein and his son, Jake. Mike likely started "the revolution" that Diamond wrote about. Jake now owns and operates a high tech hitting facility in College Station, TX. Diamond should have consulted Jake about the use of gadgetry.

What are the origins of the hitting mechanics endlessly debated, many times ridiculed, on here?  Maybe this book can offer some answers. I loved the author's telling of the unlikely story of these relative unknowns, changing how hitting a baseball is understood and taught.

All-time great hitters share common swing components. From foot plant through contact, they are more similar than dissimilar. We should focus on the commonalities and explain why they do these things. Is there a "science" of hitting? Yes. Identify its components. Teach them.

@shegone03 He needed a fancy term for his hitting principles, one that made it seem that the best/"high level" hitters used them. If you didn't, he labeled you in a derogatory manner. Those who couldn't take it bought into it all. Clever manipulation, that's all, like any cigarette ad.

He also scissored his back foot, not to mention all that crazy stuff he did in his load.

Gary Sheffield Home Run Swing Slow Motion 1993-1(#ASG)

This swing is trimmed from Sheffield's home run of 1993 ASG. Although more powerful hitters must be existing of MLB history, but with regards to hitting ball...

@CoachPerk Merry Christmas to you! As to the methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mickey Mantle's forceful lower half action - forward momentum created by a long stride converted into rotational momentum, then the back leg/foot action adds some more forward momentum.

@uTeeBaseball It's not that Ted is teaching that. It's more like the kid isn't strong enough to control the bat enough to do what Ted is teaching him.

@MLBNow How about an extension of 1B into foul territory? Don't they do that in softball in some cases? That would give the runner his section and the fielder his.

TSOH came out in 1970. In it, Ted Williams talked about much of what hitting circles talk about now. There were many things of importance but what was perhaps the most important? On pages 62-63, he talked about getting on pitch plane for as long as possible and how to do it.

@shegone03 @BlueJays @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @TheRealJHair @KevinMench28 @ChickenMan3010 I think that will change with the ban on shifts. A well placed, hard hit groundball works, and even a well placed soft hit groundball will work. There will be a nerd paradigm shift.

Ted Williams had that conversation with Wade Boggs and Don Mattingly in that SI article in 1986, A REAL RAP SESSION WADE BOGGS, TED WILLIAMS AND DON MATTINGLY RENDEZVOUS TO TALK ABOUT-WHAT ELSE?-HITTING.

@gritnj Barrel doesn't accelerate behind as they say. Former Yale physicist Robert K. Adair put this diagram in his book.

@Balancehitting "A slight upswing - again, led by the hips coming around and up - puts the bat flush in line with the path of the ball for a longer period - that 12- to 18-inch impact zone." (TSOH, 1970)

MLB advance scouts are good. So are pitching coaches. There are reasons why teams make the playoffs besides talented, productive players.

@Detective_Magoo @forcefulhitting @Fiveframeswing @TdsUFA1 @shegone03 @TewksHitting @CoachPerk @smithsam33 In fairness it’s not just one postseason, he’s hitting like .210 over 44 career playoff games while striking out nearly 40% of the time. HLP loves to take credit for all his HRs, why don’t they own up to k% that their swing causes as well?
