MLB network should be sued for fraud, or malpractice, or something.

Efastball, did you play ? What Griff, Bonds, and many others describe is real. Homeruns are mistakes which occurs when you miss the top of the ball.

Without some loop all you have is pushing the hands forward. Hank said in his book you want to have “some” backswing and not to eliminate it entirely. Walt said there is a point where the lowerbody is going one way and the upper body/bat is going the other way.

Without on and around you will be ABAF.

Backswing is good just don't try to loop it while coming out of it.

Who does this guy play for? 😉

First moving ball in decades.😉 Plane and connection scored very high, batspeed not so much.🙈 More work to be done. Took to much time off from swinging.

edit: obviously hit the low one very deep.

I’ll repeat this once again.

In space there is no up or down. If you were hitting a pitched ball in space you simple intercept the space that the ball occupies.

On earth and my two 3D swings, there is a down and a up with the same spot you intercepted swinging in space. The 3D swings show this rather nicely.

I forgot my phone tripod. So the only tripod I had was for the Persnal pitcher. I only collected the metrics. Since the batspeed and time to contact was way off on the low pitch, I probably didn’t hit that one well. Although the swing plane and connection metrics were good.

More on space, no down or up

On earth we look up to see the moon. So one might think on the moon we would look down at the earth. It doesn’t work that way.
