Suzy Willemssen: Hi! I'm Suzy Willemssen. I am Head Coach for the 18 and under Blue Jays Gold, 18 and under ASA Junior Olympic Fast Pitch Team and right now we're going to discuss poor stance that is essential to setting everything for your hitting mechanics and that's what we're talking today is common hitting flaws and some fixes.
So, I've got Megan here. What you want to make sure is, that you have a good leverage with your base and by that you can see if Megan and this is very common and a lot of players they'll start too far back. So, we almost have like a 90-degree angle from her head to her back foot. What you can do with your players to make sure they have a good, firm base is to come up in front of them and if you can push them over, they're not going to have a good stable base. Just get everything, set, so when they want to start their swing, they're going to have power and quickness.
So what we wanted to check is, to make sure and we're using Megan again here; that we have almost like a 70-degree angle from her head to her foot and you're just going to get in front of your player and right there when Megan starts her swing, she is going to have a good base, she is going to get power and she is going to have some quickness.
