So I am not much of a dancer. I don't know maybe you are but I am not, because you have to have a little hitting stance rhythm. But rhythm and dancing is dissimilar than rhythm and hitting. Rhythm and hitting is obligatory. Absence of rhythm at the plate causes stiffness, causes strain. We need to be comfortable and loose at the plate. May I explain.
In this segment we're going to talk of rhythm. There's a large amount of different rhythms. If you concentrate on my hands at the moment, you can see how there just a little moving around. Some fellows like to have rhythm with they're legs swaying backwards and forwards just softly. We don't desire gigantic movements. Here is where we want to avoid extremes. There's a lot of alternative ways. Some hitters like to shake their fingers. Some hitters like to tap their front toe. They get in this position. This is their rhythm. The rhythm is the way in which the hitter relaxes his body. He wants to remain loose. If he just stands there like this, yup just standing there just totally still, strain comes into his position, strain comes into his swing. He is not as snug. He's not as loose and his body can't function the way that it needs to.
So when you get in the box, you want to have something that keeps you loose. This is your rhythm. I'm nice and loose. Now avoid having too many types of rhythms going on simultaneously. That can lead to issues also. You get too much of a sway going backwards and forwards, your hands start going up and down, now I have too many things that can go bad. Remember that pitcher's trying to get you out. You're not sure always how he's going to deliver the ball. Whether he'll slide step and be fast to you or go with a high leg kick and take his time. So this is just a way to relax ourselves. Nice and smooth. We need to be comfy. We need to be loose. This is how we keep ourselves loose is with our rhythm.
Now rhythm also takes place in our load and thru our swing. You have a look at this and see which one makes better sense, this, or nice and rhythmical as I get prepared? When we do it nice and smooth, we are extraordinarily rhythmical. We give our self a chance to be under control. When we rush things and we lose our rhythm, we run into trouble as a hitter. Rhythm is a significant part of hitting. It's often over looked, so regularly mechanics are just taught. We really need to have rhythm. We need to be loose.
So next time you get in the box, go ahead find your rhythm, figure out what it is you do. Maybe you're a booty shaker. Whatever it is, find your rhythm, just not too many of them. Relax, that way your body can work, and have a great game.
