> 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?


Hey Jason,

I'm not expert on this, and Jack or somebody else can correct me if I am wrong, but I think if strength is an issue for you, it is even more important that you enable that torque through creating seperation with the upper and lower body.
