Putting Photos with Words

[Maxx]

I don't have a lot of "still" photos in my collection, and I was hoping to get some help from others so that I wouldn't have to search all of the threads to finds pics. What I am looking for are still photos that demonstrate the key components that I plan on focusing on with my team this spring. That way I can make a hand-out and poster for the locker room so that they will "see" what I am talking about. So if you have a photo that you think demonstrates any of the components listed below, please post it and state which component you believe it is demonstrating. Jbooth, feel free to post any of your photos that are labeled. :) I promise that this if for team use only!. Thanks in advance everyone!!

KEY HITTING COMPONENTS

Bat perpendicular to the spine
Shoulder tilt
Rear elbow close to the body
Short stride or no stride
Rear foot--no spin or "squash the bug"
Front leg and foot lock
Proper bat path
No weight forward
Move the middle--start the swing from the center (hips and pelvis)
Hands with the hips, elbows flexed
Front elbow maintains "box" till contact
Extension after contact
Hands above the barrel

I have a lot of hitting-related stills on my site...

- Hitting Stills (http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/Baseball/Hitting/RethinkingHitting/Examples/index.html)

"Favorite Examples" has photos of all kinds of hitters, but starts out with my favorite photos of Pujols.

Thanks Chris!!

Also, in most cases I have embedded the result of the swing (e.g. single, HR, fly out) in the name of the file, which you can view in the image properties.
