Working on hitting stance & consistency

This year I have been working on new hitting stance and approach to increase my contact and timing.  Moving up to 18U, I noticed I needed to hit outside pitching better and pay closer attention to my position in the box.

The main focus we have been working on is loading up on first move from the pitchers and timing my release through the zone. 

Working with my hitting coach John Downs and Club Coach Brimhall, I have increased my exit velocity, and cut down my extra load movements.

I also started standing up more and setting up in the back of the box.  

I am still working on holding and adjusting for the change ups.

Biggest change I have noticed is more power and three hits during my last tournament the short stop had errors trying to field my hits.
