This video clip is of a college player who was looking for a way to improve after a redshirt freshman year at a Division I baseball school.  I’d say he figured it out!  This is one of the most drastic improvements I’ve seen in such a very short period of time.  Bat speed work with overload-underload bats, reaction and timing training, several different drills for rotation and swing path…we did it all:

before & after

Yes, that is the same guy.  All of our work was done in a 2-week period when this player was on his Christmas break from school.  We got together maybe 8-10 total times over that stretch and took a ton of swings.  No magic weight room exercises or extra forearm or grip strength work here.  Just an initial video analysis, some weighted implements (heavy & light bats), feedback for swing speed and quickness, and some intent to swing faster. 

Not only did he swing the bat with more velocity, but his overall swing was quicker.  He had a better swing plane and path through the ball, he had better weight shift and distribution, better hip rotation, and an overall improvement in the connection and sequence of the different body segments (hips, shoulders, arms, bat).  The mechanics of his swing improved in just about every way.  Well done!
