Keeping your barrel in the zone

What does it mean when a hitter is keeping the barrel in the zone for a long time? Allow Sean Casey and Bill Ripken to explain (and show you).

I was just in Texas this weekend and The Baseball Doctor showed me a great hitting drill to work on this! Guy is a genius!

“You think you miss going to the ballpark to watch a game? I miss THIS!” That is real love for baseball

Nice Drill

Great way to explain it 🔥

Man how I wish I was a kid working on my swing/fielding.

[@OuijTube]

You can always work on your swing and fielding. The game is fun. The problem is that too many people ruin it after we turn 13. If we all changed out attitudes and just focused on making our own game as good as we could, for ourselves, without trying to grind anyone else into the ground, baseball would be healthier. We need to stop ruining baseball and normalize just playing ball, whoever you are.

I'd love to see this again with a high-speed camera to really capture "to it & through it".

What is rolling over? Can someone explain this terminology?

[@joshconnell8797]

Steven Pham a weak ground ball where you try to hit a pitch but miss hitting it on the sweet spot and instead end up tapping it on on he ground. Usually happens when you try to pull a low outside pitch

[@patrickgoodman4576]

It's basically when the wrist break too soon on a pitch usually resulting in a weak ground ball

[@grehhet161]

To add to what they said below, it would result in the bat “rolling over the ball”. Imagine the ball hitting the bottom half of the barrel and being driven into the ground, as opposed to a fly ball or liner
