    I suggest you play the video on a loop while you are talking so that we can watch the swing over and over to really get a good look. Otherwise great videos/commentary

      Thanks for watching, and for thwart feedback. We will definitely take this into account for future breakdowns. Appreciate your advice!

    Ever since I saw the EW video I've been working on perfecting the back swing. I've gotten a bunch of opposite hits but nothing awesome as that hit that curves down the right field line. That's the dream hit I need come playoff time in two weeks. Great videos as always guys!

    • @LeagueNightSoftball
      @LeagueNightSoftball  2 роки тому +1

      I've already started working on it and even pulled one off in a league game last week. It's by no means perfect but I think I have a good start on learning it.

      He is an absolute monster at the plate. We can all learn a thing or two from his game

    Love the breakdown. As a smaller guy I tend to go backside a lot but never did this. Tried it a few times and love it. Leaning that scissor step makes me feel like I can hit any pitch backside now.

    • @LeagueNightSoftball
      @LeagueNightSoftball  2 роки тому +2

      So glad we could help. However, most of the credit should go to Dave. Thanks for watching!

    I played league ball against him in NJ IN 2021. Over 35 league. I didn't know who he was and I was at 3B. After 5 consecutive 375' line drive HRs I was greatful he didn't hit the ball under 6 ft. His arm fit the nickname too.

    • @LeagueNightSoftball
      @LeagueNightSoftball  Рік тому +1

      We do not envy being at the hot corner and seeing Laser coming to the plate. He is an amazing ball player, kudos to you for continuing to go back out there against him!

  • @ethanwright2981
    @ethanwright2981 Рік тому +2

    Go ahead and skip to the 7:00 mark if you want to actually see a swing start and the 12:00 mark if you want to see the swing finish :)

    Great video and breakdown, thanks.
    Omly add a couple things I focus on to cut
    Barrel above hands
    Shoulders and hips flat & parallel to ground
    Hit off closed front side & Stay closed as long as possible.
    Drive right elbow & create leverage

    Would love to see a swing break down of Bradley Jones, both his pull and push swings are violent.

    I never realized how mechanically sound you need to be to do this. But I guess most baseball guys didn’t until they finally try it.

    • @LeagueNightSoftball
      @LeagueNightSoftball  Рік тому +2

      Agreed! When everyone says hitting an underhand pitch is simple, they aren't hitting like these conference pros. It takes a lot technique to do what they do.

  • @pchin510

    Where can you find more video of his swings without trying to figure what teams he plays on and what games he plays in that are posted on UA-cam, and then searching through those videos? Any compilations you know of, even if they are relatively short?

    Great breakdown, but would have been nice to see his nickname at work. All slowmo vids didnt do it justice.

    In my opinion the best cut swing by far was Scott Nichols out of Arkansas. Scary to pitch against.

    He would have been called out in my league for stepping out of the box

    • @LeagueNightSoftball
      @LeagueNightSoftball  2 роки тому +1

      According to the USSSA tournament umps we have talked to, stepping out of the front of the box with your front foot is fully legal. However, we have heard of people getting called out in some leagues. Always check your local rules I guess.

    • @GonzoForReal
      @GonzoForReal Місяць тому

      That’s what I was thinking. I’m assuming for leagues like that I would stand just a bit further back to be able to get it down.

    As allot of others said waaay more talking than actually seeing the swings. Needs to be more balanced we will get more from seeing the swing as opposed to more commentary. Still good stuff though just need to show more of what’s being discussed.
