βοΈ If youβre late on fastballs or feel like your barrel isnβt getting to the ball quickly enough, focus on how youβre using your lower half.
π A key adjustment you can try out (this wonβt work for everybody) is learning to fire your lower half backwards. Think of it like the push a jet gets when itβ s taking off. When you try to fire your lower half in the opposite direction your hips are going to stop QUICKLY. Which will create a momentum and energy to propel your upper body, hands and barrel forward more quickly and on time.
βοΈ This can help you create more bat speed without sacrificing direction and precision.
