Juan Soto vs. Jazz Chisholm - Swing Breakdown

[@xgeraldiswhoax]

He’s only talking about these two cause his protege absolutely bombed 😂😂😂

[@mordyfriedman5647]

Ouch lol but in all fairness I think he’s teaching power mechanics, contact is kinda up to the hitter

[@danielhoward4566]

Judge failed miserably.

[@crawdad08642]

Yes he did, but he's still gonna win MVP. Went cold at the wrong time

[@theswingman2hit]

Comparing swings without describing the type of pitch it was and the location of the pitch is pointless. Elite hitters adjust their mechanics based on these variables.

[@nonamenonamenoname8663]

Actually, no, elite hitters absolutely do not "adjust their mechanics" based on any variable what so ever. To slow down one's timing, to delay ones swing, or to speed it up, is one thing, and it's a simple thing, but to entirely adjust one's mechanics from pitcher to pitcher, or even worse during an at bat based on some variable is neither an intelligent thing to do, nor is it something elite hitters do. Bad hitters may, decent hitters may, but it's all for not. That's because if you actually think that any hitters, "elite" or otherwise is adjusting the mechanics of their swing in some way based on things like the count, the weather, the style of pitcher or the scouting report, velocity, if he's feeling fast or slow at the time, whatever it may be, it's not happening. It's certainly not happening where a good hitter is a part of the equation. There's not remotely enough time to do so from pitch to pitch, especially not if the hitter is dumb enough to try to do so after the pitch because to try and do that is really dumb, a monumental error to even consider attempting, even more so to actually think it's a good idea to attempt to do. Yea, some hitters from time to time may adjust their swing a bit more than usual if a guy is just straight flickin boogers at him in the box, but that's rare, and even then it's just not a good idea to do. Besides, it's bad JUJU to out right change the mechanics of anything you do in the arena of competitive sports while enthralled in battle. It's best to do those things when there's adequate time between games so that you may have time left to switch back to the way you were originally doing things prior to making the decisions of a desperately slumping man and altering your swing. Outside of simple adjustments to ones timing from at bat to at bat, rarely but sometimes it is worth doing it from one pitch to the next under rare but specific criteria as any time you change your swing up you're really sticking your kneck out for the baseball God's to whack you with the clippers To say that elite hitters adjust the mechanics of their swing dependent to the variables at play just simply doesn't happen and is not at all truthful. They just don't, absolutely not, and I know this because they are elite, and they wouldn't be elite hitters if they were going about it in a way that was routinely being changed. Just go check tape if you for some reason don't agree with that fact. You will see a guy adjust his timing in some slight way perhaps, you will see a guy speed up or slow down their swing, but one thing you will not see any successful hitters doing is regularly changing the mechanics of their swings from one at bat to the next, one pitcher to the next, pitch to pitch, or from game to game. Unless of course a guy is slumping something nasty, and desperate for a slumpbuster, otherwise it's just bad juju to even tinker with a guy's swing mechanics unless absolutely desperate and it's necessary to really shake things up.

Been saying this about Jazz. So much pop already in his bat. Great defense and speed. Just needs a better contact tool and that’s exactly what would fix it. Hope he works on it.

[@victormerced5588]

Yeah you are right im s yankees fan and that home run he hit in game 5 was amazing . And juan soto will probably not sign with the yankees and it will pain me if he goes😢

[@shawnterrance7204]

jazz has struck out less on the yanks compared to being with marlins and jazz didnt strike out alot the whole ws so jazz is good at making contact its just that he chooses when he wants to the whole kansas city series and cleveland series jazz was mostly power swinging over swing the ball and missing it

[@kennycypher7770]

Hey teacherman, I've been using this approach to hitting for about a month now and have seen some serious improvement! However, I've been experiencing a large amount of wrist pain from the flick movement. Is this normal, or is it likely I'm doing something wrong?

[@samxyx]

Can your teachings be applied to my golf game?

[@hunihotep4708]

Judge choked in the Playoffs. He get paid to much to do nothing . Soto perform led better Stanton did well also Judge swing was terrible and he needs to go back to 101 this was embarrassing

[@jerry4706]

people take this analasys too far. different hitters, different bodies, different pitches. whats your point?

[@greg2142]

Sotto pushes through the ball, uses his rotation and size for his power. He seems to be missing the snap and his swing forces him off balance a lot. Probably why he's a .285 career hitter.

[@nudgh_00]

and theyre both big leaguers so let them swing how they want

[@juicedgames8302]

Yeah after your golden boys performance in the playoffs I think you need sit out for a bit

[@johnd3233]

Hitting technique and mental toughness are two different things. Judge showed a severe lack of mental toughness this postseason, and every other postseason that came before. He lets the big moment get to him, and that dropped popup was proof for anyone who wasn't already convinced. This man is a hitting coach who teaches how to hit. He can't make a man grow a nutsack.

[@Laoboi2o3]

@@johnd3233his hitting coaching didn’t help for shit in any post season ever not that great if it doesn’t come through when it counts his swing is only good for hitting meatballs in the regular season not against competitive pitching in the post season

@Laoboi2o3 62 homers is nothing to dismiss. In the postseason it's about having ice in your veins, not technique.

[@Laoboi2o3]

@@johnd3233 in the post season he had neither so what are you saying?

[@noeyb976]

I could be wrong. But it looks like Jazz just has a bigger load. He completes that rubberband (hands back, leg forward) motion and snaps. Holds the bat on his shoulder then drops hands to in the zone. Much like Griffey. Is that actually wrong? Or is it just different from Soto? Soto is obviously much bigger than Jazz and doesn't have much movement, can that just be he generates power differently? Soto moves less than Judge still generates great power.

[@dreigivetimpoolmassivewedg7646]

yet jazz hit very well for the yankees. It's almost as if there are different ways to be successful. And your end all be all method looked horrific all postseason with judge unable to hit meatball after meatball.

[@Laoboi2o3]

To be fair he needs a meatball to hit with the shit swing he has he was continuously chasing low and away and he will never make solid contact on those pitches 😂

[@Laoboi2o3]

@@dreigivetimpoolmassivewedg7646 if you watch his swing on the homer from game five he actually extends and puts a real swing on that pitch

[@dreigivetimpoolmassivewedg7646]

@Laoboi2o3 it's a good point and another issue I have with dude's philosophy. Sometimes the same hitter can have different swings and different feels for certain pitches or situations. Obviously everyone has a "stock" swing but ol boy acts like it's his version of drop and drive or it's trash.

[@Bhearn05]

You picked a bad swing pick one of them pretty Ken Griffey swings Jazz has...and Jazz has elite hands thats carried him to the majors if did it any other way he wouldnt be who he is and in the majors...

[@povertygarage705]

Maybe picking a bad swing was the point. He's pointing out that this is what it looks like when a swing is not ideal and mechanics break down a bit.

[@deverenaddison4592]

Different point of contact makes a big difference. Chisholm actually hits a waist high pitch but hits the bottom of the ball and lifts it up because he's early on it. Soto catches an almost chest high pitch and hits the back of the ball at contact. Soto outweighs Chisholm by about 25-30 lbs as well. They both have different motor skills they use to generate power in the swing. Neither is wrong. They both could be more efficient by rotating the top hand and forearm backwards through contact. Chisholm semi does this, Soto even less. It's an explosion motor skill that increases exit velocity 👌🏾

[@rustyshackleford1562]

The most powerful point of contact is with the arms fully extended and the next two inches afterwards. That is universal and the only correct way to maximize power.

[@povertygarage705]

He's just showing the difference between ideal mechanics and a little less than ideal. Even guys with the best swing mechanics in their default swing will sometimes have to compromise to put the ball in play and maybe that's what Jazz is doing here. Pitchers are good at getting hitters off time and chasing balls on the corners. If this is Jazz's default swing, then perhaps there is room for slight improvements.
