What is adjustability?
Everything you have learned so far remains the same.
Your load.
Your balance.
Your firing sequence.
Your barrel path.
Nothing changes.
The swing doesn't change.
The pitch does.
Every load should prepare the hitter to handle the fastest pitch that pitcher can throw.
From the moment the ball is released, the hitter begins gathering as much information as possible.
Speed.
Location.
Changes in elevation.
Spin.
Every fraction of a second provides another piece of information.
Once enough information has been processed, two things ultimately dictate the swing.
Speed determines when the swing begins.
Location determines where contact occurs.
An ideal pitch down the middle is typically contacted about one baseball inside or outside the front foot.
An inside pitch moves the contact point farther out in front, generally one to three baseballs in front of the front foot.
An outside pitch moves the contact point farther back, generally one to three baseballs toward the center of the body.
The load remains the same.
The power transfer remains the same.
The barrel is still delivered through an efficient sequence.
The swing hasn't changed.
The contact point has.
