Building in some decel patterns to fight bat drag & get the barrel delivered out front.
✅ Deceleration – Gets energy to the barrel in a short window.
✅ Stopping the Hips – Allows the trunk to deliver.
✅ Lower Body Stability – Creates a strong base, preventing excessive rotation.
✅ Barrel Whip – Maximizes the stretch-shortening cycle for a powerful release.
How to Perform:
1️⃣ Pull the barrel back across home plate after contact.
2️⃣ Step over home with the back foot as the barrel comes back across home plate.
3️⃣ Feel your hips stop and the energy transfer into the barrel.
4️⃣ Focus on a clean, whippy finish with a strong and braced core.
📌 Key Focus: The back foot crossing isn’t forced—it’s a natural byproduct of controlling your deceleration and sequencing.
