Damn hella haters out here haha look where he at and look where ur not haha he a beast worked hard all the time he helped us out alot lvhs baseball all day!!!

[Oakl3yb0y]

texasmusicfan03 is exactly right. driving the ball like harper does and not squishing the bug is taught at every college and MLB team outside of high school because coaches usually dont know the proper mechanics in high school

[lebuaf]

i wish we had something like bat-r-up where i live..

[GarcBomber20]

He hit 3 balls square, kid is trash...

[mty4127]

he hit more than hit

@GarcBomber20 I didn't realize you were the number 1 draft pick in the MLB Draft when you were 17 years old. Damn, he sure does suck. Idiot.

[texasmusicfan03]

oh yeah what i meant about squish the bug technique.. its a good thing to learn but it takes away power.. bc when you squish some of your weight is still back there and when you roll your foot you have to take the almost all weight off of your back leg in order to roll it or youll end up with a swollen ankle.. trust me this works bc im 6'2" only 160 pounds and ive hit a few 420+ hrs in practice with 11 hrs as a senior bc of bat speed but nothing like 500+ lol.. hes just a lot stronger than me..

[texasmusicfan03]

and who else has learned how to hit 500 feet before they learned how to drive? lol

[texasmusicfan03]

perfect combination of the weight transfer from his left foot when loading to his right foot upon contact which follows the hips through and as well as arms... it always starts with foot work to have power which is why he can hit 500+ hrs.. gotta have your feet set to throw and hit hard.. he hits kinda like me (talking about feet work) he rolls his left foot instead of squishing the bug.. that means hes taking the weight off of his left leg to his right..

[SadegoGG]

trodo they get weight forward, but not for that reason lol...

Funny how people ''Know everything'' yet they can't hit and everyone they coach gets worst, and the people who ignore them progress.

[TROD012]

but everybody.check out Barry bonds,a-rod,and just good power hitters period,they all throw there back leg foreword to generate power.they lean back on there back foot and when they stride they through it forward to release all that power and energy through the ball.

[drewthepokemonlover]

your both right and wrong. turning that foot in is a way of gaining internal hip rotation that creates a powerful whipping motion through the swing, though he might have to less the intesity againest 90+ pitching

[Uifz]

Man scouts were right. He has a nice swing, reminds me a lot of Chipper Jones, but he needs to stop that jerking with the ankle. When he's facing 95MPH, he can't be doing that, plus his ankle is going to be killing him by then!

[JOEYINGARRA]

wow u r hella dumb its a way of generating power into ur swing

[tylerdecker1]

for real its giving him more torque

[2ndarnold]

how did he let you go in there

[2ndarnold]

this is the coolest thing. thank god he didnt hit the ball through the net
