Always FLASH the catcher! (Use this CUE to be CONSISTENT)

Transcript

Switch up the battery. Alright. Have you ever been taught where your knob needs to be pointed? No. If I get my flashlight to the catcher's feet, all I have to do now is turn my bat's going to be where it needs to be. Right to it. That's the swing. I'm talking about.

Original caption

If you're looping under the ball or casting your hands, try this cue: Imagine a flashlight attached to the knob of your bat. As you start your turn, point that light right at the catcher's toes. It automatically keeps you short to the ball and cleans up your swing path instantly. ⚾️🔥 #baseball #softball #hitting #coach #viral
