Timing, Loading, Approach


Posted by: Doug () on Mon May 12 17:01:36 2003


We talk about bat speed, rotational and non rotational hitting mechanics, but what do you do before you get to the point where the heel comes down and the swing starts? What approach do you use? Do you hitch to get started? Do you cock your knee to get started? Do you just stand there and then rotate? How important do you think a timing device is to your swing, and if so what is it? Much has been argued on this site about bat speed and rotational mechanics, but what about your feelings on how to load and time a pitch? Why is John Olerud successful and why is Julio Franco successful and why was Strawberry successful when all three had a different approach to hitting?

Your thoughts please, Doug
