12/06/2014 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Commuter Mike is a young hitter with the potential to swing it well from both sides of the plate. He looks to drive the baseball from both sides as well, and is able to pull the baseball with some pop from each side. From the left side he keeps things much more quiet, and has a great soft square stride, getting him to a strong hitting position as the baseball is entering the hitting zone. From the right side he doesn't get cheated, and is able to make more consistent contact to the middle of the field, but tends to get hard on his stride foot creating heavy weight on the front side. To improve at the plate, Michael needs to focus on his contact points and letting the baseball travel deeper into the hitting zone, allowing him to use the whole field.
