09/19/2015 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Ethan starts from a balanced and square set up and works through a soft and square stride with the hands activated for his loading mechanism. Ethan has good timing to his swing and stays balanced throughout. Ethan's hands lead his bat on a direct path to the baseball which allows him to extend through contact. Staying looser with the hands and keeping the eyes down longer at the contact point will allow for more consistency of the short stroke that Ethan can have.
