The Hitting Stance

Stride/Load, as pitch comes in (1,2 and 3 are done almost simultaneously)

1. Partial weight shift to back leg

2. Hands move back to launching zone

3. Short stride toward pitcher with heel off the ground

Our stride and load are now complete and we will begin the swing. The most important thing to remember at this point is that our front foot must be down before we start our swing. That is the separation of the stride/load and the swing.
