The batter you used to demonstrate the hitting mechanics is obviously Sammy Sosa during the homerun derby. The thing is that there is only one Sammy. Not everyone is as strong as him or as athleticly gifted. In his swing he has a slight uppercut to the ball. How do you overcome that? When adding the power to the ball you naturally upper-cut, how do correct that part of the swing?
I agree with what you teach, I hit the same way myself but because I am not as good as Sammy yet I miss balls I shouldn't because of that slight upper-cut. How do I fix it?
