>>> What are John Elliott's numbers ? <<<

Hi Tom

John says that he always had a good eye for hitting but his swing mechanics did not generate the power and bat speed to allow him to advance past AA ball. He contacted me because he wanted to develop rotational swing mechanics that he could teach. John is a talented athlete. He worked hard and made the transition from a linear to a rotational swing in about two months.

I was impressed that in so short a time, he was not only able to make the transition with the heavy bag drills, he was also able to maintain those rotational principles against live pitching. At a batting clinic, John was giving a hitting exposition and the scout that signed him was amazed at his transformation. He told John that if he could have hit like that before, he might have made the big show.
