Instead of “keep the front shoulder closed,” don’t force it. The swing is rotational. A cue: rotate and get the back shoulder inside the ball. This helps avoid cutting across, reduces pull-side ground balls
Hitters struggle at every level of baseball, from the big leagues to little league. Velocity is high, movement is sharp, and pitchers use advanced data to attack more effectively. As instructors, we must turn data into clear communication—numbers alone don’t improve many hitters.
Caleb Durbin, infielder for the Boston Red Sox, in the house making some adjustments.
If you want to be a consistent hitter with power, you need to land in a strong 50/50 athletic hitting position #gswing
Two things every hitter needs to be successful: stay inside the baseball and let it travel.
Durbin got a 95 MPH sinker on the inner half, stayed inside it, let it travel, and drove it backside for an RBI double today#gswing #gswing@gingersnaphyde@Section10Pod
Caleb Durbin was hitting .147 on the season and had gone 2-for-26 over his last 12 games.
So he came into Gradum.
We broke down the data, made the adjustments, and got to work.
A few days later, Durbin is now 3-for-7 with 2 doubles
Teach. Train. Transfer.

It looks like Caleb Durbin has made some changes to his batting stance.
More closed, a bit more upright, hands slightly lower, and bat angle a smidge higher.
Number 1 ranked outfielder in the Class of 2027, University of Florida commit Kinon Bastian, in the house—and we got to work on driving the outside pitch for power, getting him ready for playoffs. #gswing
I talked with the owner of GradumGSwing Lorenzo Garmendia. We talked about how he helped get Carlos Narvaez out of slump, along with his thoughts on the Red Sox struggles offensively, and the dismissal of Alex Cora. Link below!👇
Carlos Narváez was struggling at the plate.
So he called us. We flew up to Boston, got him in the cage at Gradum locations— broke down the swing and got to work on the issues we were seeing. In his last 3 games, he’s 4-for-9
This is what Gswing looks like at the highest level.
I love watching you play son!
