> my son's new coach wants all off his hitters tostep when when the pitcher breaks his
hands.he wants them to hit from that postion with no more movement of the front foot.he
told the team if you don't do this my way you will sit with me .my question is ,is this
commonly taught and if so why no go nostep . i asked him and was told this was the way the
big boys do it . this high school baseball.

The big boys do not hit this way. The stride is a result of a good rythmic load and the rythm
of the load into the swing should not be segmented into two parts. There should be a fluent
rythm from the start of the load into the swing of the bat.
