Elite Power & Cut Swing - Conference Homerun Champ - Tyler Ervine | ASA / USSSA Slowpitch Softball

[@danhillman4523]

I can't watch all of this, but I do wish I had seen this decades ago. He's hitting the ball below the centerline which allows for a longer carry.

[@damgenius1010]

That second swing is just scary. That ball went out so quickly...incredible!

[@brianbanks3044]

i always noticed that the best power hitters weren't the strongest or the biggest (but it helps a lot) but the bat speed/wrist turn over generates the true power...I have seen 70 year old guys hit the ball 350 and as I watched him hit (Davey Reed), his hands were just so quick through the zone...i love these videos

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Thanks so much for watching. You are correct. Quick wrists and hands can make all the difference no matter your overall strength. That being said, being super strong doesn't hurt! So glad you enjoy these types of videos. Anyone else's swing you would like to see us breakdown?

[@brianbanks3044]

@@LeagueNightSoftball a guy who is from my hometown (sorry to name drop but) one of thee best power hitters ever, Brett Helmer and his overlap grip would be a good one...I have seen him hit balls at our fields where others have never dared to go...LOL

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Brett Helmer is a great suggestion. Anyone that has a signature model bat was doing something right! We will add him to the list.

[@Thangarajah]

Love this video!! Thanks guys!!

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!

[@RamboTheCEO]

I saw some guys with his new signature bat that came out. They was MASHING with it 💥

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Awesome! We haven't seen anyone swing it in person yet. Can't wait to try it out for ourselves.

[@RamboTheCEO]

@@LeagueNightSoftball they got it here in Vegas. Western Worlds.

[@jasonzagorski3718]

You should do a swing breakdown for Brandon Streets

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Thanks for watching Jason! We can definitely add Brandon Streets, 2022 Conference USSSA OBP Champion, to the shortlist of players to breakdown moving forward. What is it about Brandon's swing you are most interested in seeing analyzed?

[@sul1627]

Totally agree! He has one of the most explosive swings. He is a beast!!💪

[@jasonzagorski3718]

@@LeagueNightSoftball Nothing particular about his swing, but the fact that he's an .800+ hitter makes me interested in his swing

[@allstarr9tc]

@@LeagueNightSoftball Streets' front foot movement is a bit unique, i'd say? It's more similar to what Cam does (and Van Bogaert ofc) except it almost looks like robotic when he does it.

[@pab1ofresh529]

ervines line drive was gone in literally 1 second. i slow mo'ed it to watch his swing and it passed the outfield fence about 1 second from contact 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ thats unbelievable. RIP to any infielder thats hit at

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Definitely not trying to be in his crosshairs when he is in the box.

[@tuckfenpin]

Awesome video, much easier to follow this time! That second hit was so disgusting

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Glad to hear the adjustments paid off! We appreciate all of the feedback to ensure we deliver the best content! That cut swing clip is one of the dirtiest I have seen. Ervine is a beast!

[@prmcollin]

Where do you guys get the stats from?

[@justinchin1022]

I play in a league that uses the clincher ball. Does it make a difference?

[@AndrewK80]

Just curious what ounce bat he uses to lead the conference in homers.

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Last I heard he swings a 28.5 Oz. Endload. That was probably a year or two ago so not sure if he has changed since then.

[@AndrewK80]

@@LeagueNightSoftball not surprised since 99% of softball players think bat speed is everything, yet those 99% don't hit the ball like this.

[@joshhanselman7618]

How do you calculate RP7?

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

21 / (1-OBP) x SLG / 3 = RP7. It's actually really useful if you keep team stats. Gives a great overview of how the team is performing offensively.

[@joshhanselman7618]

@@LeagueNightSoftball Thanks!

[@joshhanselman7618]

@@LeagueNightSoftball Do these numbers (21 and 3) change for the team version or does it just end up using the team OBP and team SLG with the same formula?

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

It all stays the same whether you are calculating for an individual or the whole team.

[@pj3p488]

Bending the knees to try and keep the swing plane flatter.

[@LeagueNightSoftball]

Definitely. We've been noticing more and more pros utilizing thier knees to adjust thier height as compared to the ball. We are both looking to implement this into our own swings.

[@pj3p488]

@@LeagueNightSoftball If done properly these will be some of the longest balls you will ever hit. The extra distance the bat travels from hands high to the lower pitch IMO adds to the momentum of the swing. In addition it allows for the same swing path for ant pitch greatly increasing consistency.

[@michaelmullen3481]

Does this level softball always just groove the pitches in there..looks like a 6-8ft arc..is that accurate? And what type balls and bats do they use? Just curious because they seem to give such an advantage to the big hitters...thanks..😊

[@adamkleinschmidt3041]

First year player got about 100 swings total in games and BP combined. Got my pop toss the other day and these are some swings from my first session. Any tips? I cant make consistant contact unless im taking alot of speed off my swing. (got one attempt at a live BP cut swing in there too! lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/h52po3eJl7WiZqM

[@murphykakeeway]

Hitting those pitches is so hard 🤣

[@mingsujono]

to get only contact on the ball is easy, to get power and proper hit is not as easy as u think, I taught same as u before I try slowpitch, i takes time for me to adapt from fastpitch to slowpitch
