I am a new assistant coach at the high school. We recentley had try -outs and the coach was switching everyones batting stance. He was making them tilt the bat back towards the catcher at a almost flat angle. He said that it puts the bat on the correct path quicker. A straight plane thru the hitting zone. I have never seen this before and think he is crazy. I coach middle school team also and this is against everything I am preparing the girls for.
