(멤버십 전용) 임병욱의 스윙 심층 분석! 뭐가 문제였을까? 킹캉이 발견한 문제점과 훈련방법은? [kingkang16]

Summary

In the video script, the focus is on analyzing the swing of baseball player Lim Byeong-wook, identifying issues such as early shoulder movement and hand position affecting timing and power. The discussion includes comparisons with other players, emphasizing the importance of proper swing mechanics for optimal performance. The script also suggests specific drills to improve the player's swing and strike zone recognition.

Takeaways

• ⚾ The player's swing mechanics have changed recently, shifting from lifting the leg to striding before swinging.
• 🚶 The main issue identified is that the player's upper body moves too far forward during the swing, reducing the effectiveness of the hit.
• 💪 The ideal hitting point is in front of the left foot, but because the upper body moves forward, the player often misses this optimal point.
• 🕰️ The player’s swing timing is consistently off, leading to late hits and weaker contact with the ball.
• ✋ The player's hands start too high, making it difficult to cover certain pitch locations effectively, leading to more missed pitches.
• 📏 There is insufficient space during the swing, which limits the player's ability to generate full power despite having strength.
• 👣 The player's right foot is too rigid during the swing, preventing proper energy transfer forward, leading to a less efficient swing.
• 🏋️ The player's swing lacks full extension, meaning they could generate more power if they opened up their stance slightly.
• 🎯 The comparison to Shohei Ohtani shows that Ohtani's swing allows for better power utilization and balance due to proper shoulder positioning.
• 🧠 Practicing strike zone recognition by anticipating where the ball will land (inside the zone) can help the player make better swing decisions.

Q & A

What is the main issue with Lim Byeong-wook's swing according to the analysis?

The main issue is that Lim's shoulder line is moving too early, causing him to miss the optimal hitting point and resulting in less power in his swing.

What is the optimal hitting point for a batter?

The optimal hitting point is in front of the left foot, which allows the batter to generate the most power in their swing.

What changes has Lim Byeong-wook made to his swing recently?

Lim Byeong-wook has made changes to his stride and swing, making it more like a 'tai' style, which involves a more forward movement of the shoulder line.

How does the hand position affect the swing according to the analysis?

If the hands start too high, it can prevent the batter from covering the inside part of the plate effectively, leading to more power balls.

What is the significance of the space (스페이스) mentioned in the analysis?

The space refers to the room for the batter to extend their arms and make a full swing. If this space is limited, it can hinder the batter's ability to hit the ball with power.

What is the recommended practice to improve the timing of the swing?

The recommended practice is to work on exercises that help the batter to keep their shoulder line in line with the shoulder line of the bat, ensuring a more direct and powerful swing.

How does the stance width affect the swing power?

A wider stance can provide more stability and power to the swing, but if the legs are too closed, it can restrict the batter's ability to transfer energy efficiently.

What is the purpose of the 'ABS Zone' mentioned in the script?

The 'ABS Zone' is a training method where the batter practices identifying the strike zone without seeing the ball, helping to improve their timing and recognition of pitch locations.

What are some of the common issues that batters face when trying to hit a pitch?

Common issues include poor timing, inability to cover certain areas of the plate, and lack of power due to limited space for a full swing.

How can a batter improve their ability to hit off-speed pitches?

By practicing with slow-motion pitching and focusing on recognizing the pitch type and adjusting their swing timing accordingly.

What is the importance of the hip movement in the swing?

Hip movement is crucial as it helps in transferring the weight from the back foot to the front, generating power and maintaining balance during the swing.
