Heisler Hitting

Your backside is the engine. Your front side is the steering. Are they working together?

Think of your body as two halves, each with a specific job.

Your front side guides the swing direction, while your backside provides the power to turn the barrel through the ball.

When your front side yanks open or your hands push forward, you lose the space you need to work behind the baseball.

Create and own that depth. Give yourself room to move. Let your backside drive the barrel while your front side keeps the swing on track.

Save this for your next cage session, and send it to a hitter who needs it.

Struggling to get the barrel out front? A bunt might be the feel you’re missing. 👀

Here we’re using a bunt-to-first-base feel to help this hitter understand his barrel angle and where he needs to deliver it.

Simple feel. Then take it into the swing.

This is why we review video WITH our hitters. I want them to see it, understand it, and know what adjustment they’re trying to make. More swings only help when you know what you’re working on.

Save this for your next cage session and send it to a hitter who struggles with dragging the barrel.

Want more power? Start with the position you’re swinging from.

The RDL swing drill helps hitters feel their hips working back, chest over, and strength in the back half. From there, bring the bat up and turn from that position.

Watch Mookie’s Power V. Look at the relationship between his shoulder, hip, and knee. That’s the position we’re helping this hitter understand and feel.

The goal is to carry that posture into the swing instead of standing up and coming off the ball.

Get into it. Turn from it. Stay in it.

Save this drill for your next cage session and send it to a hitter who struggles with coming out of posture.

Keep clipping or swinging under the high fastball? This drill is for you.

The low-angle machine gives hitters that look of a fastball at the top of the zone that feels like it’s rising on them.

It forces you to be precise. Keep the hands above it and get the barrel working behind it. Thinking “top of the ball” can help you stay behind it and stay through it.

We’re not trying to chop down. We’re working to match the barrel to the pitch and square it up instead of clipping it or missing underneath.

If the high fastball keeps beating you, give yourself that challenge in the cage.

Save this for your next cage session and send it to a hitter who struggles at the top of the zone.

A quieter landing could be the difference between a barrel and a “just missed it” swing.

Here, we’re talking with this hitter about landing softer on his toe tap instead of being so violent slamming that front foot down.

Think about landing on a pillow or trying not to crack an egg.

When you slam that foot down, the jolt can travel through your front side and move your head. Now the swing gets jerky, and a pitch you should barrel turns into one you just miss.

Soft landing first. Firm front side as you rotate.

Ease that foot into the ground. Let the swing land the front foot.

Next time you’re in the cage, pay attention to your landing. Smooth it out and see what happens.

Save this for your next session and send it to a hitter who needs it.

Trying to create more power, but coming up and off the ball?

The Adrian Beltre drill is one of my favorite feels for hitters who tend to push up out of the ground and lose their posture.

The goal is to help them feel rotation and use the ground without pushing themselves up and away from the baseball.

A cue I like: think about driving your back knee or shin down toward the ground as you rotate.

Hit the ball, let that back knee drop, and hold your finish. Almost like you’re pimping it! Feel yourself turn through the baseball and own the finish.

Remember, we’re giving the hitter a feel, not trying to make everybody swing like Adrian Beltre. Find what helps them stay grounded, hold posture, and deliver the barrel.

Save this for your next cage session and send it to a hitter who struggles with coming up off the ball.

MADE IN THE CAGE. PROVEN ON THE FIELD. 💪⚾️

Your misses tell a story. Do you understand what they’re telling you?

Here’s a senior putting in the work, using video breakdown and conversation to understand his swing and what’s causing his misses.

What you FEEL isn’t always what’s happening. That’s why we watch, talk through it, and make sure the work we’re doing in the cage matches what the video is showing us.

It’s about helping the hitter understand his own swing, make adjustments, and take that work into the batter’s box with confidence.

Because the ultimate goal is IN-GAME SUCCESS.

Don’t just take more swings. Understand your misses and make your work count. 🔥

You can’t build a plan until you know where you’re starting. 👊

Part 4 wraps up our first-day hitter evaluation series! This session gives us a baseline of where the hitter is today so we can put a plan together for where we want to go.

We’re reviewing swings on the Full Swing monitor and helping him understand what we’re seeing and what comes next.

Every swing from tonight and moving forward goes into OnForm. From sessions in our facility to game footage and training on their own, video is a huge part of how we develop our hitters. We can stay connected, give feedback, and keep working between sessions.

The evaluation is just the beginning. Now it’s time to get to work! 🔥

Hope y’all enjoyed this live look at how we work with first-time hitters!
