yeah- i was thinking the same thing! when i saw that live, and then afterwards, they showed the “pitchtrack” of the ball, it’s amazing how he even hit it hard in the first place. it was off the plate in, and he crushed it. gooooood gooooood hitter.

Comment on Robinson Cano Home Run Swing by Jeff

Hi Paul, I’m assuming you are referring to the internal rotation on the back hip as the hitter loads during the pre-swing process. This is pretty common/necessary as a means of preparing the hips for rotation during the swing. Can see this in a lot of righties, to varying degrees and depending on the individual. Maybe it is more pro-nounced in lefties who spend most of their time facing opposite handed (right handed) pitchers……just a thought

Both Cano and Adrian Gonzalez twist back on the load, they do not seem to move their hands very much. This twist allows for a short swing to generate a lot of power. I do not recall any right hand bats twisting back like this. Does any one recall any righty bats that twist to load like these guys? I know of one highly respected hitting guru who does not want hitters to twist back.

Comment on No-Stride Hitting with Derek Jeter, David Wright & Andruw Jones by Felix

There is nothing wrong with Jeter’s swing per se. It is what he does on the pre-swing that is throwing off his timing.

Next time you watch Jeter at bat, take a good look. Just prior to Jeter swinging, you will see him wave the bat like an upside down pendulum followed by a shaking of the bat head. Sometimes, you will see that he is still shaking the bat when the baseball is already in mid-flight. It is no wonder he is often swinging late and hitting the ball weakly to the opposite field. His stride does not need to be eliminated. His swing does not need to be changed. It is what happens immediately before both that needs to be removed. I just do not understand how no one in the Yankees organization sees what is going on and points it out to Jeter. Is anyone else seeing what I am seeing, or do I just have a wild imagination?

Again, watch really closely Jeter’s next at-bat. There is a rhythm to it that goes like this: Pendulum … Pendulum … Shaaaake … Swing! … Out 4-3. LOL. I wonder if this pendulum and shake motion in Jeter’s pre-swing was present before 2010 or if it is a recent addition.

that shot is really just for screen shot purposes, but both of those players were actually high round draft picks – one was a 1st-rounder. left side was just swinging at a bad pitch.
