Hitting Lesson : Hands At Toe Touch
This is an answer to a question given to me by one of our students. What position should my hands be at toe touch?
There are many debates about this but heres our philosiphy on that question.
The back hand must be even or behind the elbow, this is going to create a good whipping action of the bat.
If we lead with this hand we will be pushing the bat thrue the zone . example: when we throw a ball we dont push , we lead the throw with our elbow. ( the phrase skipping a rock)
The front hand at toe touch , the front hand and elbow must be even or front hand inside elbow. By doing this we can prepare for the inside pitch and also adjust to the outside pitch. If my front hand is outside my elbow we will be cutting across and swinging in a small zone.
Im going to provide some pictures of players swinging. These pictures cover mlb thrue little league . Enjoy and get back to us with any questions about baseball.
