Loading to hit isn't just "getting your weight back."
It's preparing the body to turn.
A few things I look for:
✅Back pocket toward the pitcher.
✅The hips coil slightly closed. For a RHH, think about the hips closing slightly to the right of the pitcher. You’ll often see the belly button / belt buckle and rear knee turn toward the catcher.
Think: screw into the ground. Don’t just sway back.
Good hitters look CONNECTED to the ground. Poor hitters often look like they’re skimming across the surface or hitting in ice skates.
✅Rear elbow behind the top hand.
For a RHH, the right elbow works back behind you, toward the spine. You should feel the rear side of your back engage.
✅The knob of the bat points towards the catcher.
✅The front shoulder rolls in as the torso slightly coils.
A great load isn’t a passive move backward.
Think more around and less back.
Everyday work in our program!! #Indys
Ron Washington received praise this week for his defensive work with Luis Arraez during their time in San Francisco.
Back in 2019, the defensive mastermind took us behind the scenes for a look at how he works with infielders to sharpen their skills.

Rick Pitino is right.
Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think.
The practices. The games. The grind.
One day… it’s all gone.
Cherish every rep. Every moment. Every opportunity.
Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

This group marched into the 3rd round of the state playoffs, which is the farthest we’ve been in nearly a decade. We finished our season 17-11 and recorded one of the best offensive seasons in school history:
