During an exclusive interview with Overtime Heroics senior editor Reggie Roberts, Tigers CF Parker Meadows revealed a technical aspect he’s been addressing in his offseason training, hip leakage.
When questioned about the hip leakage issue he has been managing, Meadows acknowledged its impact on his late-season performance, stating, “My hips, my hips are sliding a little bit. So when my hips slide, my hands drop.”
Drawing a parallel to the mechanics of a squat, he emphasized how this forward movement could hinder his ability to catch up to fastballs.
Stressing the importance of consistency and maintaining high hands, crucial elements in proper mechanics, Meadows aims to enhance his ability to track fastballs effectively.
As Meadows fine-tunes his skills and addresses key technical aspects, fans can anticipate an even more formidable presence at the plate during the upcoming MLB campaign.
