Re: pulling off the ball


Posted by: Jack Mankin (mrbatspeed@aol.com) on Tue Nov 18 12:08:18 2003


>>> While coaching both younger and older players I have found one hitting problem that is very difficult to correct. Pulling off the ball with the front side while swinging seems to plague players of all abilities. I have had some sucess at having the players wait and go to the opposite field or up the middle but they have real dificulty when trying to pull middle-in pitches.It doesn't seem to matter if the players are rotation or linear hitters.Anyone have any advise? Thanks <<<

Hi Ron

Would you (or Teacherman) explain what you mean by “pulling off the ball” a little further? Is the meat of the bat pulling away from the ball? Or, is the batter’s body (axis of rotation) fading away from the plate? – I’m just not clear what the problem is.
