In today's installment, Mets farmhand Pat Mazeika pattayymaz10 discusses his current swing progression and the adjustments he is focusing on leading into the 2018 season. Pat finished his 2017 year in Double-A Binghamton after a strong showing in an All-Star season in the Florida State League (A+). In the above swings, we see two noticeably different body positions. "Off the tee, that was what I'd gotten away with in the past, really getting more of my weight onto my front leg, trying to be aggressive through the baseball but with too much downward and forward plunge with my arms. There's not much tilt with my upper body. On the front toss swing, which I'm pleased to say is a more recent video, you can see how I'm finishing farther back with my upper body. On the tee I'm swinging around my body as opposed to swinging out from the center of my mass. You can see a cleaner barrel launch, easy quickness from my back hip, better tilt and I'm in control of my weight shift through my rear hip." Just like our last post on Joey Votto, Pat had identified that he can create more consistent lift and effortless power if he is consistently creating tilt with his core and body. That helps us be more efficient with the barrel, frees a path for a more productive launch angle and keeps us stabilized. If our head doesn't move we will be confident because we see the baseball. 
Very excited to see what 2018 has in store for Pat. #makepracticegreatagain #process #MetsMilb #BinghamtonMets #milb #minorleaguemondays
