Contact, But Little to No Power

<p>Jim and Jake discuss a hitter facing the dilemma of making a lot of contact, but not hitting for much power. The guys answer the questions of how approach and mechanics relate and can help increase power in the swing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>2:00 – Contact without power</p> <p>3:00 – Jim’s Wild Card pick</p> <p>7:00 – Idea of Bryce Harper leading off</p> <p>13:00 – Hitting for power</p> <p>16:00 – Power and contact</p> <p>20:00 – Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds</p> <p>26:00 – Approach and power</p> <p>32:00 – Mechanics and power</p> <p>40:00 – Torque and power</p> <p>45:00 – Listener question</p> <p><br></p> <p>Subscribe and like the show- Apple | Google | Spotify | TuneIn | Iheart | Stitcher | Pandora | YouTube</p> <p>Subscribe to the show’s YouTube page: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.youtube.com</strong></a></p> <p>Email the Show: jimbopodcast21@gmail.com</p> <p>Twitter/Instagram: @Jimtara, @epsteinhitting</p> <p><br></p> <p>Why the Epstein Hitting System?: The Epstein Hitting system was created by 10-year Major League player, Mike Epstein. In addition to leading the 1972 World Series champion A’s in home runs, Mike played for arguably the greatest hitter of all-time, Ted Williams…Using what he learned from his career and from Ted Williams, Mike built a system to identify and fix swing faults. Mike received the only letter of recommendation for hitting instruction Ted Williams ever gave out…After working closely with Mike to learn the craft of teaching hitting, Epstein Hitting is now led by Jake Epstein…Jake has perfected the use of video analysis to create a plan to maximize a player’s swing. In addition to slow-motion video analysis, Jake has built a library of drills that he uses to address the unique needs of individual players.
