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.
