Baseball Hitting Report
Strength 1: Excellent head discipline and balance throughout the entire swing, creating a stable foundation for rotation.
Strength 2: Efficient bat path and kinetic sequencing, demonstrating a connected swing that generates power effectively.
Improvement 1: Focus on increasing hip and shoulder separation during the load to create more elastic energy (‘stretch’), which will unlock greater bat speed.
Improvement 2: While the swing is fundamentally sound, developing a more dynamic rhythm will be crucial for timing against higher velocity and off-speed pitches.

Focus
Hip & Shoulder SeparationExecution
From a normal stance, step the back foot behind the front foot, then step back into the stance and immediately initiate the swing. This move forces the hips to open while the upper body stays coiled, exaggerating the feeling of stretch.
Focus
Feeling the ‘Stretch’ PositionExecution
Get into your stride position with the front foot down. Manually rotate your hips slightly open while keeping shoulders closed and hands back. Hold for a moment to feel the stretch across the torso, then execute the swing from that preset position.
Focus
Maintaining Separation & Using Lower HalfExecution
Set up for front toss, but have the feeder move towards the catcher’s position (offset open). This angle forces the hitter to keep the front side closed longer and use their hips to drive the ball, reinforcing separation mechanics.
