Hitting: Teaching Timing with Justin Haire – Ohio State Univ.

April 21, 2026 • By American Baseball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach Justin Haire explains how to teach players timing in hitting. Players start with their back hip, leading the motion to align with the contact point. Timing comes from the midsection and lower half of the body, not the hands. He also adds that visualizing a flashlight on the back hip shining toward the contact point helps achieve proper timing.
