The drill reinforces a very important concept that really should be stressed in this video. That is, swinging through a "long zone", which means getting your bat's path in line with the pitch. This drill actually does that as indicated by the line drawn parallel with the floor. The longer your bat tracks in alignment with the ball's trajectory the better your chances of solid contact. An upper cut swing (or downward cut swing) creates a bat path that must precisely intersect with the ball's path at only one point in space and is a very difficult task to accomplish. A fun continuation of this drill is to place a ball on tee #2 set at the same height as tee #1 and hit the second ball with the first ball. The further you space the tees apart the bigger the challenge.
It looks like when you get in contact with the ball, or just before, you are kind of flicking your wrist or arm? Is this the case or does it just look like it
Actually big leaguers do swing down at the baseball. It doesn’t look like but they are. You can go to a cage swing how he’s demonstrating and it’ll still look loopy but nope. Hands go down to the baseball and finish up to finish strong. It’s like golfing. You swing down and finish up in golf as well. It’s not an uppercut
Here is Bellinger in slow motion. His bat is on a slight upward trajectory when he hits the ball. There is no way his bat would hit the lower front tee in the “Upper Cut Instant Fix” drill. This advice is a joke. He is teaching batters to chop at the ball. ruclips.net/video/rEQmSaHWnEU/видео.html

AWESOME!!!
Maybe good for some

Might be just after contact?
Maybe this is good for little league or high school players, or even college players using metal bats.
I do not see professional hitters hitting this way. Can you show clips of professional hitters swinging this way?

Well no mlb players feel like they are swinging down, but in reality they don’t.
Cody Bellinger
