Summary: Video Transcript

• Hello, I’m Clinton Balgera the inventor of Exoprecise hitting trainers. Today, introducing our Multi-Swing Method, coaching mechanics for the challenging pitches, low and outside, and up. and inside.
• First, let’s discuss hitting the ball closer to your body. For advanced hitters, I recommend to use a heavy training bat. The proper way to swing a heavy bat is with a short swing, “staying connected” to the core, taking the weight for your weaker arm muscles.
• For contact closer to your body, keep both hands on the bat with your follow through, and don’t lift. Short-Flat swing path, squaring-up the high, and flat fastball; the elongating swing-path, using for the low, and outside pitch.
• Keeping one, and two hands on the bat, depending on the pitch/location, and the depth of contact.
• Both hands on the bat, hitting the low, and outside pitch, pulling a ground-ball, releasing the top hand, feeling the pressure on your trailing shoulder provides the extra reach/plate coverage.
• Up-and-inside, the ball is up-on-you fast, extending is not an option, requiring the compact, short, and flat swing. Avoid altering the flat swing path by lifting, otherwise, knocking your head of the ball.
• Getting your barrel to the fastball closer to your body, “staying connected” at contact, crushing the ball; you don’t need the extension for power, using the core muscle force.
• Using a heavy bat prevents arming the swing, using proper core/turning/rotational mechanics.
• Switching to a lighter bat, providing the bat speed, and momentum for extending power. Expecting, low, and away on game-day; use a light bat. Releasing the top hand on your finish, whipping the bat to contact, and through the ball; extending away from the body for plate coverage, and two-strike hitting.
• Hard, up and inside hit with the heavy bat and shorten up, akin to Barry Bonds; get the barrel head to the ball, staying short. and flat.
