Bicycle. And I slam into the curb.
What happens to my body goes flying.
Same thing happens to your bat
when you’re swinging. Everything starts to turn.
And then when it stops turning,
what happens to the bat?
It gets slingshot out there.
Instead of thinking, like, uh,
get your hips there and then have to pull them back,
what if you just thought, don’t move them at all,
do you think they would still move?
Yes. That’s exactly what Xavier was thinking.
Right by him thinking
not move his hips at all. Do you think they were still moving?
Yeah, but were you trying to make them move?
Exactly. That’s why you have to be really careful about watching videos.
I like Bryce Harper, who has a whole lot of, like,
shoulder hip separation, and everyone sees his hips, like,
really turning. Right?
But is he trying to make his hips turn,
or is that just happening?
A good thing to watch on video is, like,
the pinch stripe down the guy’s leg or the belt buckle.
When you’re watching Bryce Harper,
watch his belt buckle. It’ll actually, like,
turn back in, like,
towards the catcher. When he’s making contact,
it’ll, like,
turn the other direction. That’s the whole d cell part.
That’s the get it there and pull it back. Right?
That’s how you’re letting your bat whip through the zone.
