Art of Hitting: Vada Pinson

A lot of the excitement of baseball lies in seeing that ball hit the bat and fly, but it's not that easy. Former major league hitting star and batting coach Vada Pinson helps the viewer make it easier by demonstrating everything from power hitting to bunting. Slow motion photography enables you to study key points like wrist action and hip movement. See Pinson swing at the pitches of former major league pitcher Ray Washburn of the St. Louis Cardinals while he explains stance, shifting of weight, the stride and follow-through. Batter up!
