Why are you hitting 25' in front of home plate on a 275' field?

Well, I'll give him help with what I see, but if he's not looking for help then I won't waste my time. One thing in particular grabs me.

This game is too easy. 
I was about six feet off of the plate because there was mud in the box.
As with any time I post a video, I am always open to some constructive criticism.
And the fence is 295

I noticed that you have a lot of unnecessary hand movement and you never get them back far enough to get a lot of acceleration to the ball......You're leaving a lot of power and batspeed at the plate, because you don't get them back and above your back shoulder. The bat and hands end up right over your right trap, between the neck and shoulder and it's not allowing your to get all the batspeed that's available to you.

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes when I try to hit homeruns in bp I wiggle my bat unnecessarily (not sure why.) In game swings i keep my hands somewhat low and bring them up and back during the pitch. I know it mightnnot look like it in this video, but I try to mimic robo. When i get a warm day I will post another video of me keeping it down.

I dont see Robo anywhere in your swing.
The biggest problem with trying to mimic major players is that we are not them....They have superior talent and 2,000 swings a week to get what they do down pat......We get maybe a 100 and we have to scrape for that.

Easy for you to be nonchalant about it since you're a cheatin' lefty.

I agree. I take bp with Jeremy Isenhower since he just lives down the street and he has a batting cage inside his house! He hits a lot!
you just gotta do you and make it work.

definitely need some tee work or a duct taped whiffle bat to work on bat speed and hand control

Just messing with you but,
1. Looks more then 6 feet off the home plate.
2. Can really call it a homerun derby due to you guys was not swinging from the plate.
3. If I was there with a Cali HOT bat my 1st swing would of hit the car and my 2nd one would of been in them trees.

1. It was 6 feet off the plate. I know this because I was there.
2. Call it what you want. makes no difference to me.
3. Car at roughly 400 feet possible. Trees at 500 feet I doubt it.
