Rotational hitting big league style

professional hitters don't swing down on the ball, they swing up through the ball. They pull with the big muscles, get level to the ball and hit with their hands inside the ball.

Fella's,

One's proper swing is neither down, up or level, With a pitcher standing on a ten inch mound the ball basically travels towards you on a downward plane, Basically one's bat knob is held app. ear high & parallel to rear shoulder above one's strike zone, to meet the ball squarely one must bring one's knob and hands down directing the barrel down into a level plane with the downward flight of the ball into a slight up swing creating app. 12to18" of bat to ball carry.

you dont have time in real baseball to match the plane of anything..the body creates a stretch between the hands and back hip,the body holds the stretch and the hands turn into the ball..you have a 1/4 second,,you aint matching anything in that time.

most comments areTypical Little League mentality. The Swing MUST match the plane of the pitched ball. Not Downward. Hitting grounders is a youth ball method because the players make many errors. At the NEST Level(High School,College etc) you must drive the ball over the infielders head. No you don't swing down for backspin, No you don't hit the top of the ball. That's all youth ball crap. A good hitter hits from the ground up!

They don't swing level or up. They swing down at the ball in turn trying to create back spin on the ball that makes it travel. The bat finishes up with extension through the zone. The misconception is that people swing up at a ball but try it after little league with competitive pitching and you will not have much success.

thats actually called being flat through the zone not upward

Nobody is swinging up at the ball...it is a level swing. By dropping the back shoulder you allow the bat head to travel at the plane on which the pitch is coming in. It also allows the bat head to stay in the hitting zone longer therefore making better contact. 90% of the pros do it. If it was something that would hurt their chances of hitting the ball they wouldnt do it.

Ladies. Quit looking at it as an upswing. They are simply swing level to the ball. A ball at someones letters will require a level swing. Al ball at the knees will require an upswing. Yes, u do have to start down towards the ball, the difference is where u start coming back up. Linear coaches teach swing down to point of contact. Rotational coaches teach a much earlier upswing. Every batter in this video is rotational, just like the majority of the major leagues
