Instruction process• Step 1 – Comparing a student to the pros
• Step 2 - Begin to learn core movements with repetition
• Step 3 – Game mode versus Practice Mode
• Step 4 – Getting in the zone

Optimal technique• Force (Power) – How much force is generated and delivered
into the ball.
• Big Zone (Contact) – The longer the bat stays through theplane of the pitch, the greater the chances for success.
• Efficiency (Time and Energy) – The more efficient the batter, the more time and energy available to focus on how, when and where to make contact. Any jerk in the swing is an inefficient adjustment to the speed and location of the pitch.

• This is what a 2.5 should look like on the lower half!
• Front arm barring and back elbowcrashing – long swing
• Elbows collapse – bat drag

Getting in the contact zone –CONSISTENCY/EFFICIENCY
• Very athletic approach!• Front arm barring which drives the
hands and away from the body• Not getting on plane soon enough• Will cause a very small contact
zone
