They are taught the upswing and the hands inside swing and they end up with some weird, contrived deal. One of the things though, I've seen with hands inside the ball drills or devices, like that ball on a stick thing, is that kids get awful pushy. Being "short" killed several stones with one bird: a) if you got a crappy swing then short means less crappy b) pitching is tough to see and hit 3) solid is hard and/or far. I always interpreted "short" as being a hands inside the ball swing. Yeager has said the swing is a "throw" TW said a "push" but these days there is less of "throw the barrel" or "throw the hands"- even to the point where these are thought to be "wrong". I think the idea was to promote aggressiveness and "looseness". Just take a bunch of old bats out in the outfield and fling them. I disagreed because it seemed that it couldn't be practiced enough times to alter muscle memory.īut I think this device could provide a practical way of getting a lot of reps at being "long-thru"-by flinging a tennis back up the center of the field instead of flinging a bat.That bat flinging was a drill a really good coach told me to do. There was a thread here a while back which suggested that one way to cure "short-thru" was to have batters swing and release the bat after it passes through the contact zone, with the goal being that the bat would be flung back toward the L-screen. In other words, batters who are short-to and short-thru the ball, instead of short-to and long-thru. I think this device might help batters who cut their swing off.
