This week, I sat down with J.P. Sportman of JP3 Baseball to discuss the biggest deficiency he sees when hitters come in for training.
Cues like “load the back hip” or “sit in your back hip” are often said to hitters who tend to crash or get to their front side a little early in their swing.
This can result in timing issues, barrel/slot efficiency issues, and most importantly, power lost in the swing.
