After giving us a first look at Jason Heyward’s still-in-progress swing earlier this week, Cubs mental skills coach Darnell McDonald is at it again. First up is a video of a drill that has J-Hey walking into the ball like a modern-day Happy Gilmore or a very athletic beer league all-star.
And here’s a more traditional swing, one that appears even more clean and compact than the video from a couple days ago that turned us all into hitting coaches.
I’m far from an expert, but this sure looks better to me.
