Launch Angle with Andruw Jones. What is your advice to parents with young hitters about launch angle? Listen to one of the greatest players to ever play in Major League Baseball talk about launch angle and what it really means. Andruw gets in depth about where your hands should travel and where your barrel should be through the swing. He talks about making solid contact and going through the ball, which is what all hitters are striving for while they are hitting.
