The #1 move I talk to hitters the most about (and 1 good way to train it👇🏼) They start on time but never actually get loaded to GO. They think they’re ready. They’re not. So they start earlier next time. Same problem. —— This is a conversation I have with almost every hitter. When is the right time for you? - Based on your load style - Based on how long your load takes - Based on the pitcher’s velo, windup, or slide step —— If that’s you, try a “loaded at release” type load. Bobby Witt. Judge. Get your hip and elbow loaded early. Then stride with it ready to fire. “The pitcher is up there for 20 seconds telling you to get ready. Shame on you if you’re not ready to swing.” ____ If I have you in the cage, what I’ll do is have you get into a no stride position, get ready to swing and I stand there for 1-4 seconds… Holding my hand out over the plate ready to snap my fingers. When I snap, you swing. Do that 4-5x. You get the quickness, readiness feeling. Then we go back to stride with moving ball and you’re trying to time up that same GO move with the ball With your foot up in the air and the GO will make the foot go down. Not foot down then swing. That typically kills quickness. This works 95% of the time I’d say! —— > Send this to a hitter who need better load timing > And make sure you’re following, I help hitters hit better in game

How to stay down on the ball (besides just being an absolute savage) The med ball inside back leg. It’s in most of my hitters’ programs right now. What it does for you: - Your chest stays over the plate - Your lower half stays low and in the ground - You can reach the pitch on the outer third pitches - Your swing keeps working toward the opposite-field gap If you roll over on away pitches or stand up away from the ball, add this to your routine - And make sure you’re following, I help hitters hit better in game.

I asked an MLB player what he wishes he knew earlier about hitting. “Feel-good BP is backwards. You’re wanting to feel good when it doesn’t matter and you have a false sense of 'being ready'" "Get your routine in. Then challenge yourself in the box every single day." "Nobody’s ever gotten a hit that counts in a cage." "All those barrels off a 47 mph fastball stay there. What comes with you is how you trained your eyes, your decisions, and your path at game speed.”

He’s ready ✅ A ton of speed in a tight window ✅ A ton of conviction and belief behind the swing ✅ ✅✅✅ A lot to love here from Marvin Montenegro 🔥 Dylan Crews-esk but a hair tighter turn. Keep an eye on him this fall and in 2027 Spring for the Noles (He was a JUCO transfer to FL State this Summer!) - video credit: Brett Nevitt 🤝
