This is the 'Stance' we've been working on for the past 8 months! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Age 12, 5' 7&quot;, 130 #'s, and lowest grade on his report card in 6 years is a 97 - he was meant to play Baseball! He's got it down now, and after a monster 3 run HR a week or so ago - he is walked about 42% of the time, and a lightning rod for being hit-by-pitches. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Since nobody will pitch to him, he wants to go racing and work on the stance of his '69 Nova SS. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Good stuff M!

Re: Is "stance" important?
 

Nice stance. A little wide, but his weight transfer looks good with it being on his back leg. Swing, and push through with the back leg to drive the ball.

He's not crowding the plate, so it's not an issues of to close on the beanings. Seems way back in the box. Are they throwing that fast to be that far back?

At twelve most pitchers have control issues. In a couple of years, he'll be up against pitchers who can move the ball around, and set up the hitter. He'll see better curve balls, and sliders. Continue to work on hitting the marginal strike zone pitches. Low and high on the corners. That's where good control pitchers work.

I love youth baseball. Truly enjoyed coaching. Especially at the Pony, and Colt age. You guys are in for a good time.
