This is how Coach Tino gets into his hitting stance:
- Lines his knuckles up, by pointing both index fingers toward the sky in the same direction.
- Transfers his weight down on his knees, putting him in an athletic position to swing.
- Lifts his hands to his ears, keeping his upper body loose to allow for a fluid swing.
- Begins to load by transferring his weight more towards his back leg, then rotating his back elbow and back knee towards the ball, while blocking his front leg. This allows for the bat to pass through the strike zone where various pitches can be hit.
His swing is then complete when his knee, hip, and shoulder are aligned.
