The way I understand it is this: Controlling your forward move is what gives you a wide range of adjustability to react to a pitch When you first try to make some of the adjustments Rich asks of you, you probably will either crash down hard and be out of sync or you’ll sit too much on your back leg and spin I’ve found that the open stance helped me stay on my back leg, hold tension, still gain a bit of ground towards the pitcher, and allow for me to launch (swing) immediately. It takes practice, but I think whether you agree with the majority of his principles or none of them. Being under control with a forward move is a universally accepted idea. • • • • #baseball #hitting #mlb #mlbbaseball #baseballtraining #baseball⚾️ #hittingdrills #hittingcoach #⚾️ #homerun #teacherman #teachermanhitting #aaronjudge #yankees #dodgers #athlete #coaching #training #explore #reels #instagood #love
