  • In this video, we break down the swing of Markus Lynn "Mookie" Betts. His swing and mobility creates a special swing...and that swing makes him 1 of the best in the league. So watch until the end to learn how a little guy like Mookie creates so much true power. Thanks for watching and leave a comment below if you enjoyed this swing breakdown.

      In your opinion i know timing is an always changing component as a hitter but i notice some guys start at the pitchers leg lift. Thoughts?

    • @JermaineCurtis55
      @JermaineCurtis55  3 роки тому

      That was my trigger to "start" too when I was playing. So I would say yes, to your observation. Guys throw hard now and if you are late, you've been ate.

    Such and underrated channel. Also I paired up my swing with Mookies and one thing I notice is how far infront he catches it. In my swing I was catching the ball about at my front knee, and mookie it catching out at his front foot so I will definitley use that approach you gave.

    Yes please make video pull balls and also how to keep bat through hitting zone square. How far past the zone or plate is it time to pull up. What are good drills for that? I notice my son could get a lot more hits by his hands staying within the zone longer. Even if he’s a bit early if he maintains bat square through zone hands in longer it would translate to good hits I believe

    • @JermaineCurtis55
      @JermaineCurtis55  3 роки тому +1

      Knob to the ball would work. That's easy to understand for young players. I usually just say to my kids that you should be able to see the barrel of the bat hit the ball. As well as your top hand...That means they will hit it out front. Plus, it's easy to visualize for young hitters.
      Another way of saying to pull it, I learned from the Upton Brothers, they say hands out front of body. That naturally teaches players to hit it out front. Thanks for watching Los Sr!
