> If you look at guys like Ken Griffey jr. or david ortiz these torque their upper body back when they seperate i've done the same thing for a while at lower levels i'm now playing varsity baseball as a freshmen and i'm not strong enough yet to torque my upper body how can i shorten my swing up without changing anything to drastic?


Jason. You could rest the bat on your shoulder in your set up like George Brett with the back elbow up. Also watch Manny Ramirez. He keeps it simple with the back elbow up and uses a slight leg lift to facilitate the start.
