 Swing and a miss swing and a miss and down go Sanchez What's up everybody? Welcome back to sequence. I'm your host Trevor Ploof and today We're gonna try to save someone's career. Now that person we're talking about is the Kraken Gary Sanchez silver slugger two-time all-star fastest to ten homers, I think Definitely fastest AO player ever to a hundred homers. There's so much talent in this guy and After a bad 2020 season so many Yankee fans are Willing to write him off and I know let's listen. I get it There's some things he needs to work on defensively as well. I get that we're gonna be talking strictly offense here on sequence I went and looked through the numbers, you know, he comes up Comes out like gangbusters early on in his career and has really been doing it ever since 2020 has really been his first bad year where he didn't have injuries plaguing him. I think 2018 was another year We didn't have great numbers, but he injured his groin had a calf injury So you kind of got to say forget about it 2020 is when things really started to come to a head. He's striking out more than ever You know, he's having issues with the past balls again, and then eventually Yankees make the playoffs He's not catching Garrett Cole and loses playoff time playing time In the playoffs in 2020 he got eight at bats Struck out four of them only had one hit and really just didn't see the field that much So I think the Yankees are so much better with Gary in the lineup I wanted to take a look at a swing and see let's let's find some things to help Gary out and return to that silver Slugger level and as I was going through the video. I'm pretty sure I found some stuff. So I want to help him out Let's see if we Me and you the audience of sequence.

We are it's August 30th, 2020 I don't even know how I stumbled upon this event I was just looking at his swing finding at bats finding some highlights and as I watched this You know something clicked, you know pretty easily for me as I saw kind of what he was doing I think you'll be able to see it too and then we can talk about how to fix it get this to Gary So he's on his way back to super stardom can help the Yankees try to win that elusive World Series Championship in 2021 I know you guys well Some of you guys would like that some of you guys might end up hating me after I fixed Gary here So let's get into the abat bases loaded one out. All you got to do is put the barrel on the ball Gary That's all you got to do start it up We need to look at this first pitch actually I remember it's a ball straight out of his hand Slider down the way blah blah blah Gary knows now a heater is coming And that's a great feeling as a hitter first pitch down in the way slider for a ball, you know, this heater's coming here It is And he's just laid on it anybody can see that if you watch baseball at all you're like damn Gary was late on that Why are you late on that Gary? You know, it's it's cheese, but you know what's coming you look here Which doesn't give himself any time at all. He's extremely late right there. Okay, no big deal. You're coming off the bench I get it. That's not worry too much about it's one pitch It's another uncompetitive pitch right here Awesome awesome for Gary again To one now you can sit dead red again if he hangs you a slider You can still put the barrel on it, but you're sitting heater heater heater heater only here. Here it is again This is where I started to get concerned you can do it once coming off the bench But when you get another pitch like that, you just can't You just can't miss it. So I was like, okay, what's going on here? Let's go back. Let's go back to that pitch right Here, okay Gary's a leg lift guy. He's got a big gather kind of got a lot of moving parts to a swing But they work in unison and and I mean they work well together He develops a lot of power because he gets that big coil hands down back up getting what they call the rubber band effect Gary does that extremely well. That's where a lot of his power comes from. I'm sure he's a big big boy But mechanically he's very sound in that where he can develop power, you know doing that getting that coil getting that rubber band effect Problem with the big leg that this it's very hard to stay consistent with your timing You have to have some sort of recognition phase recognition phase is you know exactly what it sounds like when you see the ball Can you recognize where it is? What kind of pitch it is if you need to swing at it and it happens like that you have to be able to make all those decisions and You know split-second So for Gary right now. He's just not giving himself that recognition phase is not giving himself enough time So I was looking like where did you start? When did you start and and let me see let me see the top of your leg That's what I started to look at so right Right There that's the top of his leg kick. Okay, so Pictures already coming towards him. That's the top of his leg kick now. Where was he in years past? Was it the same? This is the stuff that I'll be talking to him about In the video room if I was his teammate, let's go back and look at when you were good Those are the swings you can go back on you know have him in your mind say this is when I was good Let's go look at him. So I found some from 2019 Top of his leg lift you guys ready Look at the difference in the picture look where his arm is compared to right here This guy's coming at you. This guy's still getting ready another one Still getting ready to throw not coming at you yet top of the leg lift another one Do you guys see it? I mean it's it's Apparent boom. That's the top. That's the top. That's the top And now here we are with gary in 2020 and the guy's coming at him And that's when you get blown up like that So honestly It's an easiest fix is just starting a little earlier getting to that recognition phase faster Now lucky for gary and for all you viewers. I think it's good too. This has a happy Ending right here. Gary's seen that heater twice now He doesn't really make the adjustment that I want him to make but that's okay Because you don't have to Sometimes you just got to be a ball player and make it work. And this is what gary does here on the third fastball. He sees Now you're like, dude, did he get to his leg? Did he get to his leg lift early enough? I went back and looked and It's a little bit disappointing for me that he didn't but he's just that good of a hitter. Let's see That he didn't have to he made the adjustment on his own So there's the there's the top right there still coming at you. He's still late with it But like I said, you see the heater three times and really he's not going to miss it So he hits the homer You can watch it and watch him. We'll talk and finish this video hits the homer does it but as you guys saw I mean He's just got to get started a little bit earlier gary You see this man get the gather up a little earlier. You should be starting that When he's breaking his hands that way you have a consistent point to start for every single pitcher So when he's starting his hands, let's get the gather going and then in your video Make sure your peak of your leg lift Is getting there soon enough you don't want to have your peak of your leg lift when the guy's coming at you As we see as we saw in those videos in 2019 Everything the peak was when the pitchers arm was down and in 2020 pitchers arm was up And I know look dude, it's not that big of a time difference But in baseball and hitting that split second means everything So it could be as simple as that take that into the cage practice on a high velo machine Go standing on bullpens. Whatever you got to do But to me it's a simple fix and I think it gets you back You're not going to be striking out at some because you're going to have that recognition phase and I love watching your spin Gosh, I'm out of my peripheral here. I'm watching this and it's amazing Start a little earlier. Make sure at the peak of your leg lift Pitchers arm is still down. It's as simple as that man. Hope you take this. Hope you see this And make the adjustment man because we love when you're in the Yankees lineup doing it That's it for us today. Thanks for sticking with us. We'll be back next week with another great episode peace
