Jonathan

Here's one of Jonathan's swings from our pre-season get together!


I love Jonathan's swing!   It actually reminds of Ethan's, except Ethan tends to step in the bucket a bit more.  Jonathan gets 3/5 of the key components of a great swing exactly right:

1) Load - bat NOT moving forward during stride 
2) Stride - straight ahead with open foot
3)Bat position in the "slot" - close to back shoulder

Two that need work:
4) Lead with hips (not back elbow - bat drag)
5) 90 elbow at contact (let the ball travel a bit further)

As we work to improve these two things, Jonathan's going to see dramatic improvements!

Recipe for succes for Jonathan:
1) One arm tee drills
2) Noodle + super high tee drills
3) Contact position, pull back, swing tee drill
