Hitting: Load with the Legs with Butch Chaffin – USA Baseball

March 21, 2022 • By Minnesota State High School Baseball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach discusses loading with the legs and explains that good hitters do not move the barrel of the bat with their hands, but with their legs. He explains that when batters bend their legs, their eyes are closer to the strike zone, which can help stop hitters from swinging at high pitches. He defines power as how far the ball goes and strength is how hard the batter hits the ball. He emphasizes that strength comes first, and power will follow.

Butch Chaffin was previously coaching at Cookeville High School (TN).
