Firm front side, lays back body at contact, would like to see more upright while hitting into firm front side. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Takes good path to zone with barrel, swing works. Uphill path with swing created by body laying back, will show more consistent line drive contact with firming of posture at contact. 68.5 mph bat speed with 18 G's of rotational acceleration.
