12/12/2015 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Alex starts from an athletic, square stance in the box and works through a soft stride to trigger the lower half. His hands are activated into a solid launch position and Alex will benefit from being consistent in allowing the baseball to travel to the proper depths in his hitting zone. When hands stay inside the ball, Alex shows a short stroke which allows him to get some extension through contact creating quality line drives. A 2019 grad, Alex has a good frame and has time to continue to work at his game to get the most out of his ability.
