When I was in pro baseball, I started making a lot of weak contact. -Weak fly balls. -Weak ground balls. -Jammed contact. Honestly… I felt like if I didn’t figure it out, I was going to get released. Then I remembered what Barry Bonds told me: “If you’re making weak contact, your top hand probably isn’t working TO and THROUGH the baseball correctly.” He explained that the top hand helps create the barrel path through the zone. So every day, I practiced 3 things: 1. Top-hand-only tee swings trying to drive the ball to center field and the opposite-field gap 2. Split-grip soft toss working through the middle of the field (2–3 inch gap between the hands) 3. Regular BP trying to hit line drives gap-to-gap with the thought of “catching” the ball with the top hand That’s when I started squaring baseballs up and driving line drives with authority again.
