Pre-pitch movement: It varies from hitter to hitter, but the vast majority of elite hitters have some kind of movement before the ball is thrown. The reason is it gives rhythm and helps with timing. Being stagnant, especially with younger hitters tends to make them be jumpy in their swing. Loosen up, relax, find your pre-pitch movement that is most comfortable for you! | The Hitting Vault

As an infielder you need to create movement pre pitch to get your body going. The movement will help create an efficient first step. The most important factor is making sure you are on time every pitch. The pre pitch movement should be unique to what works for the infielder & should not be viewed as not one size fits all.

Bad hops usually come from being late. Here, Dansby talks about creating that short hop for yourself. If you wait back, the ball controls you. If you move early, you control the hop. Rhythm leads to consistency. #baseball #infield #defense #baseballdevelopment #details
