Contact to Finish

I am not a fan of the manufactured finish. Many players are told to finish high, while the best players finish high as a result of swinging on a plane that helps them pass through the ball to a high finish. Most youth players have swings built to contact...while high level players maximize their bat speed through contact. Notice the back shoulder in both photos. It is imperative to allow the backside to continue through contact to help hitters get through the ball with authority.
