Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Posted by: SS Coach (geddyraid@aol.com) on Fri Apr 5 09:20:24 2002

Tues nite was our first Regular Season game.
I am very proud to announce that my son smacked one deep last nite. He hit one hard down the left field line (200ft in to the wind) that cleared the 30ft high fence. I don't know about other kids on this site but for my son, this was quite a blast. He is 11 years old, 78 lbs and is the second smallest kid on my team. I just love when the bigger kids on the team are in disbelief that such a little guy can hit the ball so hard.
All I can say to them is that it is all about Bat speed. My son always tells me that the HR's that he has hit felt like he hardly swung the bat. In other words effortless. Any way, I am one proud dad.
I really am grateful I found this site. I changed my son's swing last season at the start of AllStars after having studied the info on this site.
My son had great success with his new swing hitting 3 HR's during Allstarts last year.
This year I actually bought Jack's video and altered his swing a little more. He is crushing the ball to the amazement of the parents and other kids on the team, some of whom out weigh him by as much as 50 lbs.
