TIPS FOR YOUNG HITTERS☝🏽 brought to you by NC State Catcher and MY GUYY🤩 the.alex.sosa (aka “TONY MONTANA”🎬). Often times you’ll notice younger hitters with less body awareness, move their hands forward at the same exact time as their stride leg. When a hitter does this sometimes they’re left in an exposed vulnerable position to breaking balls and change ups☹️because they’re essentially only using one timing mechanism (they’re stride) and committing to the swing before they recognize the pitch type or spin. In my opinion it’s always better to have two timing mechanisms✌🏽than one (stride and hands). Obviously younger pitchers aren’t commanding off speed stuff as much either… so hitters can get away with more at that level; however, it’s something to keep an eye on as they start facing better sliders and change ups🫠 If you feel like this is happening to you also, (topping too many balls or missing over the top of off speed pitches that aren’t even elite), one verbal cue thats clicked with a few of my hitters is “Hide your hands behind your ear for as long as possible.” Alex currently has a .958 OPS with 10 doubles, 7 Jacks, and 28 RBI🏌️‍♂️ AYOOO… TONY MONTANA… I LIKE IT WHEN YOU HIT THOSE SEEDS BRUH… KEEP SHINING AND STAY CRISPY OUT HERE PLAYBOY😎🏊🏽‍♂️💦⚾️📈 #baseball #mlb #littleleague #college #d1 #acc #ncstate #tonymontana #miami #hit #seeds #bruh #compete #havefun #respect #thegame #watch #learn #staypositive #workhard #practice #shine #neverforget #baseballislife #myguy
