Hitting the Breaking Ball

“Breaking ball training” ⁦@C5TBA⁩ ⁦@C5TElite⁩ when hitting the breaking ball you need to put blinders on your pull-side and focus on driving through the ball. Then you’ll see your balance/body position improve. Don’t do too much, allow your hands to work #C5T #IRAKE pic.twitter.com/nSN6rq0qTh

When hitting the breaking ball you have to take your body out of the equation, let the ball get to you, and accelerate through the center of the ball.  There are two problems hitters run into which makes this task difficult.
​
  1. Where Are Your Hands?
    If you don’t keep your hands up and back, chances are they are walking with your body.  Carrying your hands results in casting / rolling and an inability to stay back making it very difficult to hit breaking balls.
     
​       2.  What’s Your Plan?

            Maybe the most important facet to hitting in general.  You see, knowing what you want to do /
            what you want to hit / how you want to hit it gives you an approach.  Approach allows you                        mentally to blackout what you don’t need.  Example, if the ball is away from me my pull-side                    should be blacked out, which in turn will slow me down and let the ball travel.  This is key in                    hitting breaking balls.


At C5T Baseball Academy we train our hitters to trust and be explosive.  When you trust, you allow the ball to get deep.  When you’re explosive, you transfer your weight and execute your swing from the center.  Allow us to help you PREPARE TO PERFORM.
