i have hit in that cage!!!!!!!!

[rapidoregon23]

Wow, pros swings are so effortless and yet so perfect.

that's a hard way to earn millions right there

Definitely not an uppercut. You do want to swing slightly under the ball because since the ball is coming down at you from the top of the mound, you will hit grounders all day if you take level swings

I dont get how as a kid (im 14) in babe ruth, upercutting or golfing the bat is frowned upon, but in the pros Josh Hamilton as shown here does it every pitch. I just don't get it

[RockNRoll21000]

@Blindykid He's not uppercutting at all. An uppercut is when your first movement is to drop your hands, which forces you to swing up. He's not doing that at all. In fact, his first movement is back and up with his hands, which is exactly what you're supposed to do. It just kind of looks like he's uppercutting because of the camera angle.

The Kid knows it is Josh Hamilton and the Dad doesnt

[texasneale]

...looks like soft toss or short toss in a batting tunnel

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@texasneale Exactly what is was, short toss.

[molonlave2010]

I love batting cages

[JazzFiveO]

Great hitter, I need to relax like that during BP

[TheRiversOwn]

i didn't like this josh (the upright stance). i like the balanced, weight shift back josh. appearently so did he, since he changed back in the middle of last season

[JSept0309]

@TheRiversOwn this is his batting practice stance. Pretty much all big leaguers have two stances and swings. Their batting practice one and their game swing. BP stances and swings are usually more relaxed and taller.
