Ryan, you're experience one of the major flaws of hitting too much off of a machine. (I'm assuming you're hitting off of a machine in the cage.) You have to work on your "trigger" or timing mechanism. Here is what I had my players do with either a stride or no-stride, they need to load their middle by an action that shortens the distance between their knees as the pitcher is in their motion. Take a look at video of Soriano. While he exaggerates his, this action of loading will enable you to stride in rhythm. Therefore, you can have an effective trigger once you decide where you will trigger in the pitcher's delivery. I hope this makes sense. BTW, I'm sure others would want to add some tip and rip suggestion. I'll let them do that.
I'm not sure it really matters how you trigger only that you do trigger. I like the Soriano example, it's one of the easier ways to trigger and is easy to time in the on deck circle. I like the idea of sort of dancing with the Pitcher, meaning coordinate your movements with the Pitchers to time toe plant. |

CoachB25, Please comment on this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRU1AxdiNGkDo you think the machine causes him late on the inside pitches? He 's been on the machine all year long. There's not a lot improvements on hitting the inside pitches. Thanks. |

First, it sounds like your son is hitting off of an iron mike. Those are the armed pitching machines. He should have an area in that deliver, since he can see the arm of the machine, to work on timing. In short, the lower body needs some work. I'd also work on some tilt. I have always told my players to put their nose over the black of the plate.
