Jared Mitchell @ BA:

Q: Please explain “Keeping your hands inside the baseball” and do you believe in swinging down on the baseball?

A: When hitting, imagine trying to keep your hands as close to your body as possible. That’ll always keep your hands inside. I’m a firm believer in swinging down on the ball. That pathis what creates backspin, which in turn makes the ball travel further.
