I've been studying recent breakout freshman Drew Burress's swing lately. He does a great job of over emphasizing his load to put his chest in a good position to hit. This allows his chest to be over the plate and forces him to have his chest behind the baseball. This allows you to stay on baseballs and consistently hit them hard. You can see he starts completely upright then loads towards the plate. I've incorporated this into a front toss drill. It's similar to the Arenado drill I've shared in the past. I'll attach a video of his swings so you can see it for yourself. Look at the position he puts his chest in while he loads. https://youtube.com/shorts/ALqpWiLw50w?si=4Udsd_Aee2_HCllV

These weighted axe bats were massive for me while training bat speed. I would do rounds of 12 front toss while swinging each bat four times. Starting from heaviest to lightest (Green,Red,Blue). I would do 3 rounds of 12 everyday before picking up my normal bat. This helped me swing harder and allowed me to be fully loose before I jumped into bp or machine work. Focus on swinging as hard as you can with each of these bats.

Hello I’m Jared from Charlotte, NC. I’m a sophomore in high school looking to reach a 95 mph exit velocity on hittrax. I also want to be able to throw 85 across the infield. Finally I would like to receive my first collegiate offer this year.
