⚡️Your Load: Timing & What You’re Loading⚡️

Here’s what you need to focus on:

✅ Creating Stretch & Stability in Your Backside

Your load isn’t just about moving back—it’s about coiling and storing energy while staying stable, so you can flow with balance through your stride. A strong backside gives you the ability to make a smooth forward move without leaking power.

✅ Finding Your Ideal Load Time

Every hitter’s timing is different, but the key is starting your move early enough so you can get into position without rushing. Pay attention to how long it takes you to get into your launch position and match it to the pitcher’s tempo. Also be aware with how quick or slow the pitchers move to home is. Give yourself time to be on time.

✅ For Younger Hitters Struggling with Balance

If you feel wobbly in your load, check these three things:

• Is your base too narrow? A slightly wider stance can help.

• Are you keeping too much weight back? You should feel athletic, not stuck.

• Are you rushing? A controlled, gradual load helps maintain balance.

⏰ On Time Twice

• Once with your body.

•. Once with your barrel.
