DAY 1: POWER PATHS

Discover Hidden Power in Your Hitter: The Science-Backed Way

Help your athlete hit the ball harder, farther, and more consistently using the same 3 biomechanics principles that turn 100-lb hitters into power threats, without guessing, grinding, or “trying harder.”


Inside today’s Power Micro-Lesson, you’ll discover how power actually works:

  • The power fingers that instantly connect the torso to the barrel... 

  • The Spinal Engine that creates natural whip...
  • The BIG-3 springy fascia movements that load the body like a bow

All in a way ANY parent or young athlete can use tonight.

The #1 Reason Young Hitters Struggle with Power

 

And it’s NOT strength… age… size… or swinging harder.

 

Parents and coaches usually blame weak legs, not enough strength, or “just needing more reps.” But here’s the truth…

Most young hitters struggle with power because their body isn’t loading the swing the way it was designed to.

Not because they’re too small.
Not because they’re not athletic enough.
Not because they’re not trying.

They simply haven’t learned the 3 natural movements that let the torso, the hands, and the spine work together like a spring.

When these aren’t firing in sync, you’ll see:

  • Weak ground balls that “sound soft” off the bat
  • Inconsistent contact: one great swing, five frustrating ones
  • Muscling the swing with the arms (hello, rollover grounders)
  • Early fatigue and “overthinking” at the plate
  • A hitter who looks athletic but doesn’t hit like it

It’s not effort.
It’s not desire.
It’s not reps.

It’s mechanics, but specifically the right mechanics… the ones that let the body produce natural whip and stretch without forcing anything.

 

The good news? Once your athlete learns these three simple load-and-launch patterns, power increases fast, sometimes the very same day.

 

That’s exactly what today’s Power Micro-Lesson is designed to fix — in the simplest, fastest way possible.

Calculate Your Hitter’s Power Score in 30 Seconds

 

A quick, science-backed way to measure the 3 movements that make up 70–80% of the power equation.

 

Most hitters are told “loose hands are fast hands.”

The problem?

Loose hands are almost never connected hands.

When the hands aren’t plugged into the Spinal Engine and rear scap load, the body can’t transfer real power into the barrel, no matter how athletic your athlete is.

This simple Power Score Calculator shows you how well your hitter is using the 3 movements that matter most:

  • Top-hand finger pressure
  • Front shoulder down & in toward the back hip
  • Rear scap “knockout punch” load

Just rate your athlete in each category from 1–5, add up the numbers, and check your score below.

Power Drill of the Day: “Show Your Numbers”

A simple, science-backed move that adds instant pop, without changing your kid’s whole swing.

 

Why This Drill Works
Most youth hitters rotate everything together and lose power early.
“Show Your Numbers” — also called the neck-pressure preload — creates instant trunk–pelvis separation, more elastic energy, and a longer on-plane window so contact is later, louder, and faster.

Research in BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation (2023) shows youth hitters with better torso–pelvis separation naturally develop higher bat speeds as they mature. Our own HPL experiment confirmed this with an average gain of +6 mph bat speed and +6° attack angle.

If your hitter wants immediate, measurable pop… start here.

DAY 2 • TIMING & LAUNCH BLUEPRINT

Teach Your Hitter to Be On Time for Every Pitch

Most kids don’t struggle because they’re weak… they struggle because their swing shows up early or late. Today, you’ll plug your hitter into a simple Timing & Launch blueprint built around one-alligator load timing, the two-plate drill, and big-league release-point awareness.


Inside today’s Timing & Launch micro-lesson, you’ll see how to:

  • Use the load bounce, about one second from load to swing, so your hitter isn’t rushing or waiting and leaking energy.

  • Train real-game timing with the two-plate drill, where they switch plates every two swings and learn to adjust on the fly during LIVE toss.

  • Steal a pro timing trick with the Matt Nokes finger-snap idea, snapping as the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, so your hitter finally pays attention to release point and the actual hitting zone.

All explained in a way a busy parent or youth coach can start using tonight, without rebuilding your hitter’s whole swing from scratch.

The #1 Reason Young Hitters Struggle With Timing

 

And it’s NOT pitch speed… mechanics… or “not being confident.”

 

Most parents and coaches think timing is just:

“Start earlier.”
“Be quicker.”
“See the ball better.”

But the truth is…

Most young hitters struggle with timing because their load rhythm and their eyes aren’t synced to the pitcher.

Not because they can’t hit fastballs.
Not because they lack focus.
Not because they’re “late starters.”

But because:

• Their load bounce isn’t consistent (they rush or wait instead of using a one-alligator rhythm)…
• Their brain isn’t used to reacting to different distances (something the two-plate drill solves fast)…
• They don’t actually time the release point (the single skill that great hitters master early).

When these timing levers fail, you’ll see:

  • Late swings even on slow pitching

  • “Jumping” at the ball when they feel rushed

  • Drifting during the stride and losing balance

  • Perfect mechanics… totally wasted because the swing fires at the wrong moment

  • A hitter who looks ready but is never truly on time

It’s not eyesight.
It’s not fear of missing.
It’s not needing “more reps.”

It’s rhythm.
It’s spacing.
It’s awareness of the ball’s true start and true arrival.

The good news?

Once your athlete learns the load bounce rhythm, reacts to different plate positions through the two-plate drill, and keys their eyes to the pitcher’s release point…

Timing improves fast, sometimes within a single round of LIVE toss.

That’s exactly what today’s Timing & Launch Micro-Lesson is designed to fix…
in the simplest, most parent-friendly way possible.

Step 2: Find Your Hitter’s Timing Type

 

Before we fix timing, we need to know how your hitter mistimes pitches.

Answer 4 quick questions and we’ll label your hitter as:

  • The Rusher – starts everything too soon

  • 🎈 The Floater – waits or stalls too long

  • 🎯 The Reactor – decent timing, but struggles when speeds change

No judgment here—just a clean snapshot of their timing pattern so today’s drill lands even harder.

Timing Type Test

Answer 4 quick questions to identify your hitter's timing pattern.

The Rusher

Starts too early. Opens before the pitch is in the zone. Needs better load-bounce timing.

🎈

The Floater

Waits too long or stalls the load. Needs release-point awareness training.

🎯

The Reactor

Decent timing but inconsistent under speed changes. Needs tempo-adjustment training.

Q1

When pitchers speed up or slow down, your hitter…

Q2

During games, their most common timing miss is…

Q3

How does their load look as the pitch is coming?

Q4

When they make good contact, it's usually because…

Your Hitter's Type

The Rusher

Starts too early. Opens before the pitch is in the zone. Needs better load-bounce timing.

This means your hitter is anticipating and starting their swing too soon, causing early contact and pulled balls.
Timing Score
12

Higher score = smoother, more consistent timing. Lower score = earlier, quicker, or inconsistent timing patterns.

Scroll down for today's drill to fix your hitter's timing.

Timing Drill of the Day: “Load-Bounce Flashlight”

A simple, 1-second rhythm drill that tells your hitter exactly when to load, when to land, and when to launch.

 

Why This Drill Works

Most timing problems come from one thing: the load doesn’t finish at the right moment. Kids rush it, stall it, or guess.

The Load-Bounce Flashlight drill fixes that by teaching a simple rhythm:

Float → Bounce → Land → Swing.

The front shoulder “flashlight” tucks down/in as the hitter falls forward, the rear scap loads, and the body stores elastic energy for a clean, on-time launch.

This creates consistent stride timing, better separation, and an easy 1–3 mph exit-velo boost, without changing the whole swing.

Rushers learn patience.
Floaters learn when to start.
Reactors get a repeatable beat.

If your hitter is always “close but off,” this is the timing anchor they’ve been missing.

DAY 3: BARREL PATH PATHS (BASED ON WHAT YOU SAW TODAY)

Here’s Your Hitter’s Next Best Step From Today’s Triangle Check

 

Today wasn’t about scoring your hitter…
It was about diagnosing the path their hands take, whether they’re stuck on the long A → B → C detour or if they’re ready for the cleaner A → C diagonal used by elite hitters.

Based on what you saw in the Triangle Check (back-and-bottom route, flatter diagonal, or steeper diagonal),
here are the best next steps to build a repeatable, game-ready barrel path…

Best for hitters stuck on the A → B → C route (hands drop → rollovers → mishits)

Line Drive Hitter 2.0 (Mini-Course)

Build the clean, diagonal hand path needed for loud contact, fast.

If today’s Triangle Check showed the classic back-and-bottom route, Line Drive Hitter 2.0 gives your hitter the simple, no-fluff path
to fix “hands drop,” get the barrel on plane earlier, and turn weak grounders into consistent line drives.

Inside, your hitter will learn how to…

  • Move from A → B → C to the short, efficient A → C path

  • Match barrel angle to the pitch plane (flatter for high, steeper for low)

  • Build repeatable early barrel speed without over-rotating

Turn “accidental” line drives into a reliable, game-ready barrel path.

If your hitter occasionally showed the diagonal today, but struggles to repeat it under speed, Pitch-Plane Dominator gives you the full blueprint to match the swing to every pitch plane.

Inside, you’ll train…

  • Flatter diagonal for high pitches

  • Steeper diagonal for low pitches

  • Real-game timing that locks the diagonal into place

  • A hitter who stays through the zone longer and squares more balls
