    These drills are pretty much all drills that I have seen before, but the way these guys explain and narrate them is phenomenal.
    You know its gold when they can talk about something you already know and you end up understanding it better.

    I absolutely love the Griffey drill! I played in the Mariners Organization from 94-99 and had numerous conversations with Jr. about hitting and he’d say he just “ walks away” from his hand and his hands naturally goes into launch position. It was fun seeing that sweet swing in spring training!
