Results

OK, its been a very long time. I apologize to those who actually check for updates and I will try to get a couple in today and get going on a consistent basis.

Anyway, part of the reason I haven't been writing is because I really couldn't find anything to talk about. For now, I'll give a bit of an update on my new "not overswinging" swing. The results.

Basically, it started from just realizing- I'm not playing as well as I should. I'm not hitting like I can. So, almost in an act of desperation, I just wanted to hit the ball, nothing monstrous. So I wasn't swinging out of my shoes anymore.

Well, right away, to sum it up, I'm making much better contact, much more consistently. I'm putting the barrel on almost every pitch I've been swinging at. My average has been going way up in both leagues I'm playing in.

Still though, sometimes I see ML players swing so hard, they fall down or both legs come off the ground. How do they do it?

Well, either way, I'm going to stick with what works. I still have plenty of work to do with my swing, but for now, I took a huge step in a good direction.

  1. There are 2 main reasons they can swing so hard.
    1. They are the creme de la creme, the best of the best, millions of people play organized baseball and only 1000 players are in the majors.
    2. They have strong cores and are able to swing so hard and keep their head straight. (the way to get a strong core may very depending on your weight lifting and other influenses i.e. Canseco's routine).
