First things first: -launch position is when the front heel hits -at launch, the hitter’s front shoulder should be slightly lower than the back shoulder, or at least level. Hitters that have their back shoulder this far dropped at launch will have a tough time with adjustability, hitting line drives, and consistent power.

Launch position is when the front heel hits. While not every launch position in elite hitters is exactly the same, there are undeniable similarities amongst them. -Hands up and back, typically above the or just inside the back foot -Knob of the bat down and angled back some towards the catcher (knob not pointed at home plate yet) -front shoulder slightly lower than the back shoulder (back shoulder not dropped way down yet) -balanced (although we do see some hitters slightly more on their back si

Launch position shouldn’t change much at all from pitch to pitch. Young hitters tend to be more upright on one swing and then get really hinges on the next. Can work when pitching is slow, but as pitch speed increases it will be harder and harder to simply see it early. Hitters need to get to a very very similar launch position EVERY pitch regardless of with they decide to swing or where the pitch is at. (In this case inside Vs outside) | The Hitting Vault

At launch position your hitter shouldn’t be straight up and down with their spine. They should be hip hinged. It varies from hitter to hitter how much, but all elite hitters hinge at their hip. A great cue for this is “Eyes over your toes” or “Head over home plate” if they’re needing a more drastic exaggerated feel. And then from there the head stays right there, or may even work down more if they’re adjusting to a really low pitch. What cues do you use to help your hitter get to a good hip hing

Proper Launch position is so often talked about yet it is still the #1 issue I see when doing swing analysis of young players or players coming into the facility to start training with me. Here is the list of things I look for in a proper launch position baseball/softball swing- feet as wide as your bat is long - weight distribution 60/40 to 50/50- hands at shoulder height and over the back foot - front elbow even with the back hipWhen filming your swing stop the video when the ball of your fron

💢Load To Launch💢 there aren’t many absolutes in hitting but this sequence of events/moves/positions is one of them. The Load must be on time and an athletic launch position with slack taken out of the body making the body ready to swing with maximum speed and adjustability must be achieved when the front foot engages the ground.@williamcontreras42 giving us a really good look at it here in game!

Creating proper launch position and feeling the “quiet hands” during the load to launch phase. Great Drill for players who drift the hands forward with the body or PUSH them back to load getting them stuck and slow behind the body!@dbattucson thanks for having me!

If your launch position isn’t powerful, your pitch can’t be powerful. It all starts there. One of the simplest ways to add speed is checking what your body looks like right before your stride foot leaves the ground. That split second matters more than most pitchers realize. • Is your knee stacked over your toe? • Do you have angle in your shin? • Are you actually loaded in your legs — or just standing there? The more angle and load you create in that position, the more force you can drive forwar

On low pitches we tend to see younger athletes significantly drop their back shoulder as they near launch position. At launch position (when the foot heel hits) the hitter’s hands need to be up and back still, front shoulder slightly lower than the back regardless of low or high the pitch is. This allows there to still be max amount of stretch before their swing takes off. If a hitter is consistently dropping the back shoulder prior to launch position, they will also be more susceptible to highe
