10/17/2015 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 12-14) At the Accelerated Training Weekend, Zachary showed a square and balanced stance and worked through a soft and square stride. Working to activate the hands as opposed to allowing them to drop will help with the launch position for Zachary. Creating some rhythm and staying more fluid through the launch process will help improve Zachary's timing and also allow for increased bat speed and barrel accuracy. Zachary will also benefit from allowing the baseball to travel deeper into the hitting zone before starting his swing; letting the ball travel deeper will allow for Zachary's swing to be shorter and more compact to the baseball and also allow for more drive of the barrel through the hitting zone. Zachary's dedication will allow his game to continue to improve.
