@khuck_hitting: Joey Ortiz has turned it around after the All-Star break, and this side-by-side shows some important changes in how he’s loading and delivering the barrel. The biggest difference is how much better he’s staying within his body and keeping his hands quiet. In the older swing, there’s a lot of vertical movement. His body works down → up → back down, while his hands also work down, then up, before having to get back into position. That’s a lot to organize before you even hit the baseball. Now look at the newer swing. He’s staying taller and much quieter. As he starts his controlled move forward, his hands simply work back as his body moves forward. That creates stretch without needing a bunch of extra movement. ✅ NEW: ✅ Stays taller and within his body ✅ Hands stay quiet and work back as he moves forward ✅ Creates a stronger, more controlled stretch ✅ Stays behind the baseball as he starts his turn ❌ OLD: ❌ Body works down → up → down ❌ Hands have unnecessary vertical movement ❌ More movement that has to be timed ❌ Has to recover position before delivering the barrel And that’s the important part. Quiet doesn’t mean passive. He’s still creating a strong move forward. He’s still creating stretch. But now he’s doing it from a much better position. Instead of fighting unnecessary movement, he can stay strong behind the ball, turn behind it, and deliver the barrel from behind and THROUGH the baseball. Sometimes the biggest adjustment isn’t adding more. It’s cleaning up what happens before the swing so you can actually let the swing work.
