How Small Guys Generate Big POWER and Torque!

[@JPMoore99]

5’9 ain’t no limitation

[@wesleyturner1979]

If you’re Sammy Sosa 🤣

[@TheoSprinkles]

Or Mookie Betts

[@michaelallen1154]

Dude, it's less strike zone to cover!

[@georgiebell7064]

That’s true I’m 5’9” and I played with the blue jays in the farm, and I did it just like my father who is 6’4” and played with the blue jays pro for 13 years

[@TheoSprinkles]

@@georgiebell7064 one of my favorite BlueJays was George Bell his 1987 season was amazing.

Great video I watch a lot of swing vids as a coach and comparing prospect vids to their mlb swings the most consistent tweak I see once guys get to the pro level is they sink down in the forward move enough for the front leg to land bent so it has room to travel as they push back off the front heel to lock out (often this makes stride longer to depends on the player) Not saying that’s some big unlock by itself they’re just guys whose back leg action is already good so that’s the room for improvement and it’s amazing how consistent this tweak is at the mlb level tbh You can see this for yourself with like Bobby Witt and Gunnar Henderson right on this app just watch their prospect video then watch their mlb swing you will see exactly the action they’re talking abt here in this video If you are pre-HS 99% likelihood you don’t have the strength to make this happen anyway so don’t stress but once your older and have been in the gym with lower body gains this is definitely something to keep in mind

[@patricknoonan3610]

When working on my swing, I have learned to rest the front foot on balls of the feet. When is want swing drop the heel down, then turn the back leg. I preload with a hip twist and, both feet/legs are in an already open position. The stance is Jeff Bagwell wide opened

[@softballgirl2708]

Great information for us shorties.

[@jlongo527]

great ideas. I like the split stance on the tee. I'll try this with the kids. one thing i do own my own to build that core strength is use the spider arm cable machine. set it about waist level and stand enough away from the pulley where you actually have to pull it out. Lock your arms out and twist. Then switch stance. Then I'll change the angles from high to low - I feel the lowering degree setting helps with launch. Essentially, a cable chop from varying degrees but with your arms locked out so you're putting more focus on your core. great for baseball and golf.

[@annak29]

Golden, again!

[@mattwalker138]

Bro, you are so on the money with this. I hate when dudes try and teach thescissor move, makes absolutely no sense to teach that as a primaryHitting move. It’s a result of balance shift after the swing has already happened. So glad to hear you say this. Also, Great post and information with the gas leg and brake leg. Huge Dylan Crews fan.

[@digitalmdrealmd9124]

I played in the Mexican League at 5'10" 190lbs, was a doubles machine with my share of bombs thrown in. Its all about torque from the legs/core getting translated into bat speed.

[@royn8032]

Great video!!

[@MattChristie]

Great stuff Thomas! I'm 5'8 160lb but only maxxing out at 81mph with wood off a tee. I am going to try out these tee drills, hope to see some improvements!

[@maikahg7255]

have you stuck to your word and try these drills out

[@kingstonnelson4229]

How have the drills worked for you?

[@omarjimenez1925]

Bro I’m 135 and I hit 81 of the tee

[@BaboonPelotas]

@@omarjimenez1925ooooo look at you

[@GwadeG12]

Love it man! Thanks!

[@Mo-Mints-iz6yy]

Just a thought, with the big front leg stride, and the compensation tactic to "sink" to get "back on time", changes the eyes plane of sight... IMO- keeping eyes on a single level plane increases the contact... If you can sink that back leg and keep eyes on the same plane- thats good- widen stance decrease stride- keeping eyes on plane... how much does a short-non-stride vs. high leg-long stride effect swing velocity? What about contact consistency? How about incorrect timing- fooled- on off speed? I am seeing late in the season pitchers are using outside part of the plate a lot more often than inside half- makes sense- early I the season they are getting jammed and later in the season they are catching up on the inside half. hard to preach an inside out swing early in the season- but as the season goes on, I would definitely switch to an inside out swing- and the pitchers are throwing a lot more breaking/off speed pitches later in the season- unless they throw 95+... just my thoughts! Peace! Enjoyed the video, get some Knee pads for the demonstrator!! LOL!

[@TrevorTynesLocalSEO]

Great content. Is this applicable to the slow pitch swing?

[@mikeybaseball1]

Oh yeah, torque and power, love this stuff.

[@ytjcon2k139]

We do this, but started incorporating the tidal tank instead of a med ball for resistance

[@Livestronghockey]

Do you think the “sink” might affect a hitters eyes.

[@luispena1142]

Can you do one for undersize pitchers to create torque

[@stevenkrul-u2p]

Yes- can you guys do that please?

[@edward7655]

Great video

[@ethanehrlich2233]

What weights do you recommend for various hitters? Ex: 5 ft girl 85 lbs? 5’8 boy 150 lbs? Great content!! Thanks

[@halotop3756]

lol I am an 150 pound 5'9" 13 (almost 14) year old

[@awedee.0]

crews is 6' though???

[@charliescottie9635]

power baby

[@MrAlbored]

Love your work!

[@patricknoonan3610]

I like the information the video is providing.

[@pablochilla]

BIG POWER does not know size, awesome content

[@chadrides914]

5’8 140lbs. Just won a fundraiser home run derby against dads 100lbs heavier and more muscular than me. 🤷

[@Gmoney4176]

I’m ngl bro I don’t feel like size plays much of a roll if your working on explosiveness but hey I’m not saying you’re wrong bro love what u do

[@nomadnds2410]

Feed the trees!

[@mikeplatz3073]

Do you prescribe med ball rotation in season or just off season?

[@Contracts-nz1ei]

Summers Method is pretty pretty good!

[@湄巴納]

Thomas so this training is specific pattern right?

[@chrislewis5069]

Dylan crews is listed at 6 feet even, but I think it’s closer to what you said. They have Wyatt Langford at 6, 1” and he doesn’t look a shade over 5’11”. Alex Bergman at 6 feet even lol, what a joke. I think the heights are wrong and they are lying about it for some reason

[@crackerjackB]

Marketing

[@Rooster_king]

Dylan Crews and Charlie Welch are listed at 6'-0"

[@Rooster_king]

Unless they've been measured at a prospect event, those numbers aren't always accurate

[@YouMama1777]

Altuve can curl 100 lbs dumbbells

[@jmtgolf2756]

It's a thing... I'm 5'7 and hit 51 homers in high school and then pitched in college... threw 92-94 back in 2005

[@michaelallen1154]

Damn, you wuz gas _AND_ bash, homie!

[@TheCechristopher]

They create power the same way bigger guys do; strength and technique.

[@LambeauLeeeper]

We all know how Altuve does it.

[@michaelallen1154]

You can't teach "drive your knee down." That is just the end result of what's going on with the pelvis and the rear legged coil.

Dylan Crews is 5'9? I thought he was 6 foot

[@pepegallo1287]

Yea ion think he's 5'9🤣
