Throwing the bat with speed in comparison to swinging with muscle

Squashing the bug is one the most common flaws in todays young hitters! The idea behind it is to get the lower half on the body involved in the swing by pivoting on the back foot and ultimately rotating or twisting the hips before or while attempting to hit the ball. The reason it's not very affective is because it doesn't promote any transfer of body weight from  the batter into the. 







The ideal starting position for a batters hands to be is called  the " power triangle "  when the hands are in the area of back ear, back shoulder, and neck. While in this position the batters hands are above the strike zone which allows the batter to always be able to lower the bat down through the strike zone as if it's an airplane landing on a landing strip. When the bat barrel has this path to the ball the bat barrel stays in the strike zone the longest.
