[QUOTE="HEMI LOL, post: 9671742, member: 100034"] tee work, tee work and more tee work. then soft toss, then batting practice. then situational hitting. short quick stroke, tell them to cut the ball in half, that will produce some great swings right there. steady head, not to much top hand, quick as possible to the ball. and if they can try to have them switch hit. the common problem with that is that although some can switch hit, most shouldnt becuase they suck from one side of the plate or the other. im a dead pull "power" hitter, or the kind of hitter you dont want to be. i cant hit the other way, and i cant hit the low and away breaking pitch. its my natural swing. throughout later baseball life coaches have been trying to get me to go the other way, its not happening. as a result i had to wait for my pitches and hope to spoil the away off speed pitch. give my any kind of 4/2 seam, cutter slider and i can crush it. change/curve/slurve im walking back to the dugout. unless i cheat and throw the barrel at it. my point being, let them develop their own swing, then tune it. if this was done when i was young, maybe and a BIG maybe i could be playing AAA ball now. its of no use to try to get a kid to swing like anyone else. i see this all the time, kids trying to look like (name the famous player). teach them to work pitchers, ala manny. teach them to take away the plate and make pitchers throw what they want. teach them to learn patterns and how to see ball spin ect. if you can pick up what a pitcher is throwing early enough you can crank on it. and the best swings in baseball are; young Griffey manny(maybe one of the best right handed hitters swing) olerud young andrew jones a-rod(i hate to say it) reggie jackson i also like evan longoria, joe mauer [/QUOTE]
