The device that he uses that Cliff Floyd didn't know the name of is called the Line Drive Pro.

C. Trent wrote about it in one of his stories about Aquino last week.

> The Line Drive Pro is a piece of plastic that slips onto a baseball bat and more or less throws a tennis ball, like a dog toy. But the ingenious part of the tool, developed by Pirates assistant hitting coach and former Reds pinch-hitter Jacob Cruz, is that for it to work, the swing has to be just right.
>
> Ecker and Aquino worked with the Line Drive Pro ahead of the game to remind him where his swing needs to be. The first couple of times the ball fell out before he completed his swing, but then he got several in just the right sweet spot, more or less throwing the ball to center field. Hours later, that’s where his first hit went. After the game, Ecker had side-by-side video lined up of Aquino’s pregame drill and his single — the swings were identical.

We just used hitting sticks specifically designed for this purpose.

u/dseals · 3 pointsr/Homeplate

Best way I practiced hitting by myself was with this thing. That turned my swing into a solid, straight line swing and got me comfortable with where my wheelhouse was in my swing, and once you get into a rhythm with it it's actually really relaxing.

Like this? Or this?

u/nattykat47 · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

It might be a batting aid rather a toy designed for playing catch with yourself

Back when I was younger, I took about 50 or so swings most days in my basement on my Hit-Away (this thing). Note: Those things are not meant to be hit 50 times a day. Mine lasted for only a few months.

u/StanleyLelnats · 2 pointsr/slowpitch

This is most likely the thumbguard you speak of. I use one and really enjoy it. It (in theory at least) is supposed to position the bat so you grip it with your fingers rather than with your palm (If that makes sense). It can take a bit of getting used to so if you do decide to get one I'd definitely hit up a batting cage or take some bp to get some hitting reps in.

Shaft of the golf club made contact with the ball end that i was supposed to hit with my club head and snapped off.

> What are your actual lifts?

I've been plateaued for a couple of months. I also keep re-injuring my shoulder despite numerous form checks. Probably from years of pitching a baseball. My body cannot handle much more as is.

All 5 reps: BP:170 / SQ: 285 / DL: 335

Reminder - I started with the bar 1 year ago without ever lifting in my life.

>you need to eat bro.

Yeah, I know. I have had trouble with this my whole life. Visiting a frat bro this summer he saw me for the first time in a couple of years. He looked at me and said, "What the fuck, dude? You're jacked as fuck now." His wife chimed in (who I also have known for 20 years), "Yeah he is! I can hardly believe it. You look great! Back in college you never ate and just smoked cigarettes!"

It's been a lifelong struggle, one I've gotten much better at since MRP.

> you may need some pharmaceutical assistance to get there.

See dude, I love a great game of baseball and a good southern BBQ. Both of which are very "purist" in their nature, like me. I hate even that thumb shit the pros wear now. You can't go fucking around with bats, balls and BBQ methods. They are what they are and the challenge is in the rules. I like the challenge.

But I've challenged this mindset with myself for a year. My T-levels are mid 400's, which are low. I'm genetically small framed, as is my entire family. I'm also very happy with my current mindset, and I really don't want to (potentially) go fuck that up with non-natural things. I also don't like being dependent on those things for the rest of my life. I take everything I can that is natural.

I also know that it might be the only way to reach lofty goals given my circumstances and I might have to abandon some of that purist mindset in some parts of my life to get there. I don't like that one bit. That's not being stubborn, it's adhering to my core principles of who (I think) I am.

Decisions to be made, for sure.
