hip-shoulder separation

The hips start to turn while the shoulders stay closed for a moment. Then the chest follows.

casting

The hands push the bat away from the body too early, before the body has started the swing.

attack angle

How much the bat is tilted up or down when it meets the ball.

oppo

The field on the same side the hitter stands. For a right-handed hitter, that is left field.

rollover

The bat rolls over the top of the ball, so the ball is pounded into the ground.

posted finish

After the swing or the throw, the front leg stays firm instead of collapsing.

scap load

The back shoulder blade pinches together before the swing starts.

layback

The throwing arm tips back, with the palm facing away, before the ball comes forward.

drop and drive

The back knee bends, then the back leg pushes the body toward home.

kinetic chain

The legs and hips start the move. The chest follows. The bat or the arm is last.

front toss

A partner stands a few steps in front and flips the ball underhand.

machine

A pitching machine throws the ball. A coach sets the speed. It is not a person pitching yet.

bullpen

Pitchers throw in practice, usually with no batter, or with a coach hitting. It is not a game yet.

dry work

Swings or moves with no ball. You are practicing the body, not the result.

off-speed

A pitch that is slower than the fastball, such as a changeup or a curve.

pull side

The side the hitter's body turns toward. For a right-handed hitter, that is left field.

Below avg for level

Apprentice · Tee station

The bat stays on a line through the ball, instead of dipping under it or chopping down.

You already. You get the fat end of the bat to the ball.

Proof. The ball comes off the top half of the bat.

What moves this into the next band

Sample

Flaw fix

On the middle tee the fat end of the bat drops below your hands.

Root cause. The force is already there. If the fat end of the bat is under the ball, more force just sends the miss higher. You want to go the other way, and the away tee is the swing that misses that goal. You can time a still ball. Do not add a new location until three tee swings leave flat.

Flaw. On the middle tee the fat end of the bat drops below your hands and you swing up at the ball.

Why. The force is already there.

The chain. The fat end of the bat drops under your hands, the ball comes off the top, and the away ball never gets to the other field. Fix the path and the chain breaks.

Casey, I watched the left-handed tee clip. You are 15, you play center field, and you said you want to go the other way. This is the first Swing Score on file: 50. The next report sits beside this one. It is only your swings. Your back heel stays down until the hip turns, and the front foot does not spin out. Your hands stay by the back shoulder while the hip starts. That force and that connection are already in the swing. Do not swing harder to find more of them. Missiles, not moonshots. On the middle tee the fat end of the bat drops below your hands and you swing up. The ball comes off the top half of the bat. On the away tee you reach, and the fat end of the bat cuts under. That is the ball you wanted to go the other way, and it does not get there. Path: Apprentice on your Skill Ladder. Tee station. The ball is still, so we can see the line by itself. Cue: “Hit a line drive, not a fly ball.” Pass: Three tee swings in a row where the ball leaves on a line, not up, and the fat end of the bat does not dip under the hands. All seven days stay on the tee until that pass shows up. Then we earn the toss. We do not add a new location while the line is still a guess.
