How to be a “well rounded” hitter. [Derek Jeter Style]

 

So a player and his dad came up to me the other day. The father expressed his present concern about his son’s hitting ability.

“How can I help my son to be a well rounded hitter”?

Suffice to say I’m surrounded by many other parents and players that share the same sentiment.

Becoming a great well rounded hitter begins with understanding the psychology and basic principles of doing so.

You have to access what your strengths and weakness are. You have to know what each game situations is calling for and so on.

The game situation will always dictate the approach.

With that being said, here is what I told him.

” You have to be willing to except that becoming a well rounded hitter first begins with taking the first step in doing so. Commit to becoming one and the obstacles and challenges will arrive to help you get there”.

“The obstacles to becoming a good hitter is the way to becoming a good hitter”

Let’s break down a PERFECT example of what a good hitter does in a particular situation like this.

I hope you enjoy this video.

Andrew McCutchen’s little hitting secret…

 

In 2004, there were talks of a “phenom”. The word from the “high school baseball grape vine” was that he was hitting .750. He could run a 6.5 60 yard dash and had a BAZOOKA for an arm.Those kinds of rumors are hardly ever reliable.

Most of the time, in Florida, you could shake a tree and ten players with amazing talent would fall out like pieces of fruit. Florida is full of very talented amateur players.But this rumor was spot on. He was great.

His name was Andrew McCutchen. A future ALL-STAR. A future MVP.
His swing.

One of the principles that I STRESS in my private hitting lessons in Long Beach is the IMPORTANCE of simplifying the art of hitting with consistent routines.

Routine gives birth to innovation. Innovation provides insights that help you build skill-sets that make you stand out on the field.Andrew’s swing is SUPER simple.

He swings more like an athlete and less like a hitter but it works sot here is a lot that you can learn from his approach if you know what to look for.

That’s what we’ll be discussing today.
