1️⃣ Lunging Forward

His main issue in the past has been lunging forward: this was partially lack of hip/posterior chain strength, partially lack of awareness. The consequence of lunging is the worst error of hitting: it reduces pop and causes pitches to “jump” late which destroys averages. His focus now is starting 70/30 going to 100, reinforcing with Hang Drill and One Drill in his AM work

2️⃣ Bat Path

His hitting lessons in the past were well intentioned but only served to add confusion by over-coaching his hands. Now he’s streamlining his bat path with a simplified load and more efficient bat path, which will greatly help his consistency and power

3️⃣ Baseball Specific Strength

His strength training in the past had him adequately prepared for his HS football seasons, but not for baseball. His pronounced lack of rotational strength and power left him stiff legged and “muscling” the ball, but as he’s steadily built baseball specific strength, his rotational power is taking off!
