This section will show tutorial videos of professional hitters.  Being able to watch these videos should help the person see each step that the major league hitters do in their swing.  In each swing, the hitters will have different triggers and ways to start the swing, but the mechanics for the swing will still all be the same.

Even all-star caliber players start their swing from the basics each year.  They start with tee work, to front toss, then start hitting in a cage.

This style of learning is called observational learning.  In observational learning, there are two different styles, vicarious learning and modeling/imitation.  Vicarious learning is learning from other successes or failures; modeling/imitation is watching someone else perform a skill.
