Re: hitting

"my son's new coach wants all off his hitters tostep when when the pitcher breaks his hands.he wants them to hit from that postion with no more movement of the front foot."

I have a couple of problems with this.

First, not every hitter steps (or strides) toward the pitcher. For example, Albert Pujols doesn't and last I checked he was doing alright.

Second, stepping at this point in the swing might be a little early and can throw off the hitter's timing.

You might want to see exactly what he has accomplished and exactly what big boys he is referring to.
