Pictures of the High Level Swing

I have spent fifteen years studying the High Level Swing and collecting pictures that I think best represent its key characteristics.

About the Author

The ideas discussed in this and my related pieces on Hitting...

• Bat Drag
• Rotational Hitting
• Short to the Ball
• Swing Length 
  • The Problem with HitTrax

...have helped transform the swings, approaches, and careers of multiple major leagues hitters. With my help...

• Andres Torres put up 6.3 WAR in 2010.
• Mark Trumbo hit a best in baseball 47 home runs in 2016.
• Tommy Pham put up 6.1 WAR in 2017.

As Andres Torres said in 2012...

I know about training, but hitting was difficult. And then in ’08... There’s a guy called Chris O’Leary (a St. Louis fan who kept online flipbooks breaking down Pujols’ swing). He’s online. He talks about Rotation. He's got video examples of Pujols, and I watched those.

Most recently, I helped reinvigorate the offense of HSSU, an NAIA baseball team and HBC for whom I was the Hitting Coordinator from February 2016 thru February 2017.

While it pains me to see the guys at HSSU regress since I left, I hope it makes it clear that I know what I'm talking about.
