As coaches we love to have our offense clicking on all cylinders, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. While mechanical changes can fix a slumping hitter's struggle, there are other places to look for answers. One area is your hitter’s rhythm and timing.
The weather for most of the country this spring has made it difficult for players to get into a consistent routine. This can hurt timing more than swing mechanics, slowing a hitter's arrival and making it very difficult to find the barrel consistently. Adjusting the load/trigger and arrival to the launch position can fix problems quickly, without interrupting a player's head with a mechanical change. We often use the drill in this video to help players regain some rhythm and timing.
