On Sunday afternoon A-mac and I went to the local batting cage to continue our work on her swing. We are trying to make sure the rotaional force generated by her lower body is explosively transferred through her hands to the ball at contact. Obviously, the batting cage isn't live pitching so it is just one tool. When the temperature dips below freezing, which will be soon, the balls seem to get harder and there is significant vibration at contact. A-mac is wearing two sets of batting gloves to try to minimize the vibration. (I have tried it... and it hurts)
THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO BELOW. VIDEO BELOW IS FROM 2007.
Our big project during last winter (1 year ago) was to improve the first movement of A-mac hands and make the beginning of her swing much more compact. We had to eliminate the dip in her swing. The video above is from A-mac first Rep season. Her swing has improved immensely because of her hard work. If you look hard, you can see MacDaddy after the swings, sitting in the stands, at the right side of the video, in his black shirt baseball uniform from that year.
