Jeff Wise replied to Patrick Laverty's discussion How do you get out of a hitting slump?"It depends on what type of slump. There are three different slumps that I encounter most often. Mechanical, mental and tough luck.
I deal with each one of those differently.
The worst one is the tough luck slump because you're doing…"

Den Wey said… - Thanks for the add request. I'm 41 and played ball since age 6. I coach little league and also play Adult League here in Europe. I have great working knowledge of the use of rotation and torque in the swing, being a mechanical engineer familiar with moments of force, I pick up where the 'sportsminded coach' leaves off. Using video analysis coupled with hands on training, most of my players bat for power and average. As a batter myself, I know 'the feeling' something you can't learn from books or video analysis. Anyhow, I love this great game, and discussing it with players from back home would be great. If I can be helpful to you in your recreational career or collegiate one, just let me know. Remember, baseball is a complex sport; nothing dealing with mechanics of a player should be written in stone, if something doesn't work, then find something that does....
