Creating Some Movement Pre-Pitch

Jacob is a great athlete. He plays middle linebacker for his high school football team. He's definitely got good quick twitch ability and bat speed to go along with a pretty good bat path. When we watch his natural swing, the one thing we identify is that we could get a little more fluidity. It looks like he uses max effort, brute strength with his swing. Players with little fluidity need to have EXCELLENT timing on every pitch in order to achieve a well struck ball. Most of Jacob's misses are top spin, pull-side groundballs or if he's late, side spin flares to the right side.
