Ryan Howard Swing The Ryan Howard swing. Ryan is another big power hitter who sits on his back foot and generates tremendous power by keeping his weight back and driving through the baseball. Ryan's hand are inside the ball as he swings. That means that as he swings, his hands stay between his body and the flight of the ball towards the plate. By keeping his hands inside the ball, it allows Ryan to hit to all fields with power. Ryan Howard is not a dead pull hitter. Many of his home runs are to center and left center. He has a great follow through and his top hand comes off the bat giving him more arm extension. He has almost no stride. Ryan relies on rotation rather than weight shift which is what helps produce his awesome power. Ryan Howard has only been in the National League for six seasons and already has a Rookie Of The Year Award, a Most Valuable Player Award, two home run titles and has led the league in runs batted in three times.
