11/08/2014 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Commuter Billy is a great kid, and has an extremely positive attitude giving him a great work ethic. At the plate Billy shows the ability to get to a good stance and setup with athletic posture. He also shows the ability to get the barrel to the baseball and hit the middle of the field, but to improve as a hitter he needs to show better barrel control allowing for more consistent contact. Billy tends to be tight at the plate during the swing, establishing a consistent stride and load will help him gain confidence and rhythm allowing him to loosen up.
