Better than Griffey? I've yet to see Trout hit 50+ hr's in a season. Trout is an on base machine and is more patient at the plate but he doesn't have the power that Junior had.
Mike is just so down to earth. His school swing was awesome, yet he still plays it down. Can't quite say the same about the vid though... tons of guys rake with a parallel bat swing, and angle is 100% dependent on where the pitch is at... but y'all know that already.

So I don't know how much you value defense but basically a 30 point swing on trout's and Mays WRC+ make me feel like those numbers are too good to pass up. Mantle was fast. He wasn't a bad defender. So I would take Mantle over Mays any day.
This is insane and totally revolutionary. There is so much to hitting and i hope using this will help my 12 year old. There is so much that a kid has to put into his swing that it can be overwhelming. I hope this works as well as I think it will cuz my little man is struggling and it's in his head.
Ky J1s there are so many variables to hitting. Try to eliminate as many as possible. And remember, the two most important things to hitting are vision and timing
Christian Card thanks I tend to agree with you. And that's what I explained to him about his leg kick. Use it if you are comfortable with it or dnt but the reason for using one is purely timing up the baseball. Some hitters pump their bat. So many different approaches but it seems most good hitters finish the same. I told him that he needs to find what is comfortable for him and stick with it. Constantly changing it will give constantly changing results.
No matter what you do with your stance, all good hitters bring their hands back while taking their stride, knob of the bat pointing at the catcher, you can see it in Trout's swing
Dont worry about this at 12. Haha, it will make it worse. Alot of time its the mental side of starting the weight transfer and seeing the ball well and deciding to swing at the right moment with a confident swing. It takes that one hard hit ball to feel it and understand it. Its not just being aggressive, that alone can make it worse, its the aggressive approach of hunting fastball along with confidence that gets kids on the right track. Timing and confidence turns into seeing the ball well. Its at that moment when things seem to slow down and almost seems easy. Dont throw to much at him, just work on confidence and timing. A good weight transfer on every pitch is a big key.
the guy explaining mike trouts swing is like you need to be 20 degrees to hit the ball this way (not precisly what he said). like no offense how am i gonna be like:' oh my swing is 5 degrees off.'
Freeze it at :38. That's the Teacherman move all the way. His bathead has travelled down fast and his right hand is facing up. Make that move with you hands right now and see if it isn't the Teacherman move. It totally is. The "real vs feel" principle is why people miss it.. People don't think they are doing that, plus when the full swing is attached it doesn't look like you're doing that. You have to look closely. It's there for the really great swings almost every time.
Vertical angle ? Verticle angle is based on if it is a pitch at your knees (steep angle) or at top of zone (flat angle). You do not practice the vertical angle. This is kind of stupid.
@@isaac-ks2nn Not too many people have a problem squatting down to hit the ball. This is the only thing that would reduce "veritcal angle". Alternatively, only swing at pitches below your waste. But do not let the pitcher know your strategy or you will get 3 pitches in a row right at the letters.
the vertical angle at impact depends on ball location. lower the ball, greater the angle. if the ball up, that angle is almost flat. wft are you talking about?!?! get someone who knows how to hit to analyze this stuff...
Balls that break downward, perfect. Balls that stay on a straight horizontal plane, not so good. Just like last night. I know most MLB pitchers don't throw them but it's damaging to vertical swingers.
MAJOR CAVEAT: The device and their advice on how to use it are correct mechanics to hit the high n away, middle away and low n away pitches. DO NOT force yourself to wait long and stay inside the ball for pitches middle and in. ALSO NOTE that Trout can no longer consistently hit any pitch above his belly button DUE TO HIS UPPERCUT these years.
Your bat angle should be relatively perpendicular to your spine angle. And that will be dependent on your overall structural anatomy. In other words: If you're not built like Mike Trout, and you don't swing like Mike Trout, then your bat angle shoudn"t be like Mike Trout's.
There is a big difference between staying inside the ball and having an “inside out swing” the only way to hit a baseball effectively is to stay inside the ball. Every payer that makes it to the major leagues has to stay inside the ball to get hits. Trout does not have an “inside out swing” he does a good job staying inside the ball. When Mike gets pitched middle in he will stay inside and drive it to left and left center. Derick Jeter is an example of someone with an “inside out swing” he regularly took balls middle in and sent them to right field for hits.
Good hitters are born.... NOT COACHED TO GREATNESS. Great hitters are born. Here is my quick arguement.

I agree and say this all the time.. Trout's swing is NOT a swing you teach.
Woahh! Learning how a MLB player hits is amazing!
What was Jeter’s launch angle? I don’t feel it was as steep as Trout’s but IDK. He was a master at inside out swing and lived mostly in right center.
All I want to know is where to buy or how to make that green thing on his bat. My low hand has a black blister on my palm fronds swinging.
I believe that's the Zepp sensor.
Do you where batting gloves?
@@samthomson9402 yeah
You're holding the bat in your palms. It should be more out in the fingers.
The height of the pitch affects vertical angle, no?
Yes it does because you arent going to have a negative vertical bat angle of -20 to -30 degrees if it is a pitch in the upper part of the strike zone.
Thank you so much
Excellent info.. thank you

Can you look at your swing in 3D without a senser
How would the 3d software capture your swing without sensors? And if you're talking about real life, then that's considered 4d
Is that iPhone 3GS ?
A lot of kids can't hit like that because Trout is strong AF. Just be short and quick to the ball for less stronger kids.
