It’s difficult to do damage when you “drift.” Donaldson’s swing is a great example of how lead knee extension and a firm front side promotes rotational power. Notice how his pelvis doesn’t move towards the pitcher after his first move (first 3-4 inches of hands moving forward)?

A common mistake in using the ground to generate power is thrusting the hips early and the pelvis moving towards the plate. This can cause a hitting characteristic we call No Spacing. Dr. Rose shares a drill to help hitters visualize their hips at our recent seminar in Orlando:

The ability to Pelvic Tilt isn’t just a key movement pattern in helping to maintain dynamic posture and avoid loss of space, but also maximize potential bat velocity. If the pelvis is moving towards the plate, it’s more difficult to “pull back” and accelerate the barrel.

In baseball pitching, we see wrist pronation velocities of 6000° - 7000°/second. In fastpitch, we’ve measured wrist pronation velocities of up to 11,000°/second (🤯). Shouldn’t we be assessing 🥎 pitchers to evaluate their capability to create - and tolerate - those speeds?

If we walked into a room full of baseball players could only perform one screen to distinguish hitters and pitchers, this would probably be the one we’d choose. If a pitcher can’t pass this screen, it’s a pretty big red flag.

These are two of the screens we use for BOTH pitchers and hitters. It’s difficult for a rotational athlete to be efficient without good pelvic control. 🎥: jaredbicklept, IG

Elite hitters tend to have great core control, allowing them to create separation between the pelvis and torso. Stretch the rubber band (create the gap) so that you can let it go (close the gap). 🎥: bbsportstraining, IG
