Baseball is considered America's pastime. Legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson and many others have come and gone. Throughout the history of baseball, some players have stood out more than others and, like any sport, have found success by playing to their strengths. It's not the rules, uniforms, stadiums and fan base that make baseball a wonderful sport; they are the players. Everyone who competes, professionally or otherwise, has a unique mechanic that allows them to perform at their best. No pitcher throws the ball the same way as another and no batter hits the ball the same way as another. Every baseball player has a routine in everything they do that makes them special. It has been said that hitting a baseball is the most difficult task in all of sports. To accomplish this task, all factors come into play; the type of pitch thrown, the release point of the pitch, the breaking of the ball, etc. All of these factors occur before the batter's swing has fully begun. As mentioned above, no batter swings the same way as another, however the mechanics of a swing are an entirely different thing. The swing mechanics begin when a batter enters the box and ends when a batter exits, what happens in between is up to the batter. By perfecting the hitter's mechanics while in the box, his chances of making contact increase dramatically. Hitting a baseball is a task that is learned through trial and error, which makes changing a hitter's swing extremely difficult. Once the hitter finds his comfort zone and makes contact, he will do the same thing until it lets him down once again. Perfecting the mechanics of that swing won't create a great hitter, but it will create a swing that steadily increases... midway through the card... soon affects the rest of the movements your arms experience. Upon contact, Matt's hands, wrists, and forearms were facing each other. In his follow-through, his arms have already completed the rotation. The last movement should be the pronation of the right arm which allows for a complete completion. Matt's right arm is not supinated upon contact, so he is allowed little pronation during the next phase. His swing ends with his chest and abdomen not fully rotated. This causes problems. When Matt's chest and abdomen do not complete the rotation, his arms cannot complete the rotation. This can cause further stretching of the right shoulder and latisimus dorsi and can lead to tension in those muscles. In a game-like situation, the chest and abdomen not fully rotating will affect the power of the swing and the speed of the batter's departure towards first base.
