Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Posted by: Joey (pmastroi@nycapp.rr.com) on Mon Sep 17 14:02:55 2007

I am 15 years old and turning 16 soon. I am going into my 4th year of travel baseball and I was on the freshman baseball team last spring. I need help with my swing desperately. I take 500 swings a day(300 off a tee) and 200 underload/overload swings. I am playing fall ball and I had a game recently and I hit everything to right field and got jammed twice off a pitcher that wasnt throwing hard. This past travel season I was late on everything and kept getting jammed off pitchers not throwing hard at all and I have no idea why because I used to pull everything. I havent drove the ball in a while and I have no idea why this is all happening because I practice a ton and most people dont even practice at all but still awsome.I dont know if im striding late or if im picking up the ball to late. When I video tape my swing when I load my hands go up and back and when I start to turn my hips my hands are way above my shoulder. In freshamn I Batted .420 but most of my hits were to right field that were jam shots or little bloopers. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks
