Being synced up in your swing means:
The hands and body are firing at the optimal time...
...to produce maximum bat speed and consistent, pure strikes on the ball.
Yet, how do we know we are synced up in our swing??
The answer is: Forward Shoulder Tilt.
This position, hit by the highest of high level hitters, and is your key to understanding what your swing should look like at contact.
It is the flying open, bat drag, and inconsistency cure.
"Natural" hitting can be taught, and Forward Shoulder Tilt is the X-Factor.
Thanks for watching!
I look forward to helping you improve your baseball in the future!

Gerard, I am a professional coach. I agree with and support 99% of everything Pro-Speed provides! It is all based on physics! I think it is funny the people that critic these videos. Try to shut down your biases. The first movement is back knee rotation. Incorporated immediately is shoulder tilt to the estimated level of the pitch. The bat barrel is connected to the back shoulder until "slot" or connection of the back elbow coming to the hip or pant seam. That is approximately through 1/3 of the rotation, and just about the finished core orientation for hitting to right field on an outside pitch. Here the hands are released. But the shoulder tilt allows the barrel of the bat to enter the strike zone on plane with the pitch. The barrel is "short to the ball, long through the ball. Minor errors in timing are compensated for, and that long time on plane, in the hitting zone allows the greatest opportunity for solid contact. It eliminates the deep valley, or chopping down to the plane of the pitch, and the corresponding early exit. This also produces, if you will observe, parallel shoulders, front forearm, and bat at contact. The lower inside the pitch, the more the hips tilt with the shoulders. Or maybe you can explain how lightning fast reflexes get it done in 0.4 seconds?

Overall, very good point.

My son has been having a hard time making good contact when hitting and I’ve been trying to figure out what is causing it. I watched this video when I woke up this morning and told him what to do. He is now launching the baseballs to the outfield. Thank you so much for making this video!

At 9:15: "The only difference between the relationship at contact between an inside and an outside pitch is simply the timing that we hit the ball." This is something I've never understood that I think you've referred to multiple times: if the only difference between an inside and outside pitch is timing, then how are you supposed to time them up? Surely it's hard enough to time up fastballs vs. offspeed (regardless of location); it seems physically impossible to "time up" a pitch based on location (ie, start your swing earlier for inside pitches, later for outside). Put another way, if it's the same exact swing for an inside pitch as an outside pitch, what keeps me on time? How do "fire" differently for pitches based on location? It's hard enough firing differently for different pitches (fastballs, curves, changes, etc).

I coach an 11U AA team, and you have really become my favorite go to hitting instructor. You make a lot of sense, and I use my own son to test the drills on. Great work!

@fastballbpc 7 лет назад

It has to do with the visual mechanics of the swing. The position he is describing is the position that you want to have, so you can see the ball through the contact with the bat.(which is the general idea in the first place - to make better contact with the ball)In that position your head is in neutral position with your shoulders - chin facing forward to the point of contact with the ball....... So he is right , but I want to add that , this is done in order to not mess up visual mechanics so the batter to see the ball more clearly. You can see it in games when there is high stakes and they, want to hit the ball at all cost. ..And it is something you will see less in home run derby....

@djuramalevic9919 7 лет назад

I wasn't sure why I was watching until the middle part when you were discussing the chest pointed to the ball.... There's a triple pendulum in the swing where part notice the part... Part of the hand pushes and a little gravity increases the bat head to the ball... I see where your going but first there are two swings in the baseball swing and your only using one so the bat path would not be the same as your doing it and you would never use all the forces of the hands to swing from that position as you would have use two forces to get to that position and two others to release the bat head while cutting the first swing.... I see where your going but it's close but still it needs improvement... As for the two swings... Think of a overhead swing where the bat is vertical... You would toss the ball up and get the head to it and cut the swing down to really hit the ball... Again this is complicated but the chest to ball would be the first swing... Either way... Some great points.. Thanks... ~DM

@zebman9228 5 лет назад

Understand the concept. Many of your examples are doing a poor job of where you draw your red line to make sure we see forward tilt. Not really connecting the same point on each shoulder to force your point.

@holisticbaseball7973 7 лет назад

Once again, a great video with a practical drill to help with a common problem. I remember hearing before, and not sure which video, that the tilt of the bat matches the tilt of the shoulders. Which also may be true, but on the vertical plane, where this video focuses on the horizontal plane?

@djuramalevic9919 7 лет назад

Saying timing is the difference is a half truth.... You start your swing about the the same time but in outside pitches you are less rotary and slower and on inside you are more rotary and faster... Just see ball and hit ball... I would not worry about anything else as the right swing takes care of the rest. ~DM

@kevinroebuck4461 7 лет назад

I disagree completely. You are not slower by any means. The ball travels further allowing you to hit it to the opposite field. You are hip action is the same. You would lose power if you were slower. However your If you mean slower because you have accelerated and rotated a smaller distance then yes I could see that. Breaking down the swing in terms of physics as you clearly have a background in makes you micro manage the swing making it harder than it needs to be. Paralysis by analysis.

@djuramalevic9919 7 лет назад

Johnny D. So the fact your slower on the outside, If we are talking high level swing, goes with the fact that outside pitches ought to be deeper... So all I'm saying is it kind of cancels itself out so I would not making it a timing thing as you ought start the swing the same time for all pitches while letting the ball location dictate the rest... So said differently... Saying you start later or anything to that extent is not exactly correct... I would just drive the ball the same way for all pitches knowing that the physics will take care of itself....

@kevinroebuck4461 7 лет назад

I hear you yet I still disagree. You cannot swing the same time for every pitch location. There is no logic behind this. The difference in time might be minuscule but its still different nonetheless. The ball has to travel further for you to hit a pitch well to the opposite field this takes time. So you would have to wait longer. I don't see how this can be debated brother. Also, what you just said regarding all pitches assumes that you would start the swing for a fastball as you would an off speed pitch, which is not correct. No disrespect, but there is no discernible logic behind those statements.

@djuramalevic9919 7 лет назад

Johnny D. In the video he mentioned timing... All what I'm saying is when hitting we are not really thinking wait wait wait.... We just drive it... If we know what we are doing... On a change up... If your think hey it's a change I'll just wait back here until it comes to me than your toast... You set up and load.... And go to it and drive it... It all takes care of itself as long as the batter knows what there doing... It's not a stop and go... Or I'll wait another second... As the batter goes to the ball the batter makes a split second decision to drive but knowing the high level swing allows for adjustments when needed... I would never say on outside pitches we wait to time it...To start we are timing fractions of a second... And our swing inherently is slower on the outside... I would start like always... I would never CHANGE our approach and guess on a medium fast so a hard fast and a change up can be adjusted... I think your taking my view from a different angle... I'm saying timing is one of those weird things for some as they change there approach... And they don't realize that your timing inherently changes on different pitches... One of the most important thing regarding timing is having the same approach and not looking for the fastest pitch which many people do...

@djuramalevic9919 7 лет назад

Johnny D. "No logic behind this"... Usually when something lacks logic I just don't respond and for sure I wouldn't say there's no logic here.... As for my thoughts, again this can be taken with many different angles... I'm saying just square up to it.... Chest to the ball and catch the ball or comment read the ball... Now with the outside pitch we hit to opposite field is great but we can also do more with that pitch... Again... I'm saying we have an approach to driving the ball and never think wait or think about timing....We go to the ball ( get squared) and drive it to where we guessed... Kind off... Again we are talking the baseball swing which for the ones who know is like a magic trick or an illusion... I'm just saying that timing is one of those funny things as many can take it differently... Also when I say start my swing the same time... Your question should be what do I consider is the start of my swing... As soon as I move to the pitch... My swing is 1% the bat moving forward...Anyway I'm not trying to argue... Hope all is well. Later... ~DM

No one who knows anatomy talks about shoulder 'tilt'. The shoulders aren't parallel to the ground with rotation because the hips are flexed. The correct thing to say is that you're slightly 'open' or rotated away from the ball or from neutral at impact. Like your videos though

@Quasimoto44 5 лет назад

Gerard, I think it is funny the people that critic his videos. Try to shut down your biases. The first movement is back knee rotation. Incorporated immediately is shoulder tilt to the estimated level of the pitch.
