Baseball Hitting Video Spine Mistake PART 3

Build More Power, Topics

In This Baseball Hitting Video Spine Mistake,

We’re going over:

The One-Joint Rule (how-to test “Spinal Integrity”, also known as head and spine alignment),
Spine Engine Theory (how ALL athletic movement is driven), and
Tensegrity, OR Tension Integrity (discover how explosive the body’s own natural springiness can be).

Here’s a video of Physical Therapist Dr. Kelly Starrett of MobilityWOD.com demonstrating the One-Joint Rule:

In case you missed it, in the above video, Dr. Kelly Starrett said:

“Hinging at one of the segments [vertebraes in the neck]…when we put a hinge across the central nervous system, the body recognizes that as a primary insult, or threat to the body, because you’re basically guillotining or kinking the nervous system. You’ve kinked ‘the tube’, so it [force production] just drops off.”

He also mentioned:

“The spine has major potential to decrease your force production.”

Here’s video of 2013 NL MVP Andrew McCutchen breaking his head and spine alignment. This is actually a semi-common hitting power mistake made by quite a few of my young hitters – as you’ll see in a bit. Scary to think that Andrew McCutchen was bleeding force at impact with the numbers he put up this past year:

Watch Cutch’s chin nod to his chest at and through contact…

The first baseball hitting video spine mistake was leaked from The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power online video course. This is all a part of the human movement rules. As you can see, breaking our spinal integrity at contact can have a bleeding force effect on performance.

Baseball Hitting Video Easy Distance PART 2

Get On-Time

In This Baseball Hitting Video Easy Distance PART 2,

We’re going over:

“Gas Pedal” — Natural, NO Push from Backside,
“Smooth” — NO Rush (Archer Metaphor), and
How Far Should the FREE-FALL be? (setting up your feedback markers).

Someone did a video analyzing The Babe’s swing (not up anymore), and what’s amazing is his nearly three-foot long bat almost matches his just under three-in-a-half foot stride length. Also important to note is Babe Ruth’s head moved two-and-a-quarter feet forward before his front heel hit the ground. CLICK HERE to see game footage.

What do you think The Babe would say to those today who shout, “NO head movement!”? When we look at the science and its application, we know this statement doesn’t make sense.

Here’s one of my college hitters, and his BEFORE (left) & AFTER (right) Forward Momentum:

Other Athletes Who Use Forward Momentum…

Paul Rabil – Lacrosse player with world record’s fastest throw (111 mph, and averages well over 100 mph in games):

Note how Ulf uses his front leg to gain forward momentum, before the slight push from his back one…

Robinson Cano Baseball Hitting Mechanics Video

Build More Power, Case Studies, Hit More Line Drives

Two Quick Tips For A Faster Turn,

…We’ll be comparing one of my eleven-year-olds Ian to Robinson Cano:

If he’s “hiding his hands” from the pitcher,
How his front elbow is creating barrel path mayhem,
How Robinson Cano uses the Catapult Loading System, and
What does Ian need to work on?

In this Robinson Cano Baseball Hitting Mechanics Video…

I wanted to show a snapshot in time of one of my eleven-year-old hitters. Ian is working on staying short with his limbs – pre-landing position – in order to turn faster. His front arm tends to move back towards the catcher too much, which causes it to bar out and turn his torso slower.

We can break the swing up into two steps: 1) To landing (or the Fight Position), and Final Turn. 75% of consistency and power is taken care of in Step One. Here’s the drill Ian will use in the video for correction…

Break It Apart Mirror Drill

Get into stance with front shoulder facing mirror or picture window,
Get to fight position (Landing), and
Make sure you’ve hidden your hands from view – like a boxer would when he’s going to deliver the knock out blow.

Agility Training Video: How To Run Faster

Move Better, Sticky Coaching

In the Final PART 3 How To Run Faster: Agility Training Video Series,

…I bring you on a nickel tour of what I use to hammer speed and agility training into my baseball athletes. In a Step-By-Step breakdown of speed mechanics, here’s some of what Jim Kielbaso and the IYCA covers in the Course:

Arm Action
Lower Body Mechanics
Backpedaling — breaking out of a backpedal, changing directions into a backpedal
Shuffling and Lateral Quickness
Crossover Running
And much more…

The Ultimate Speed Mechanics Course contains the exact same techniques Jim Kielbaso was brought in to teach the University of Kentucky Basketball team before their National Championship season in 2012.
