Hit: SH. LHH…open stance, lands with knee bent, does a good job of getting to firm front side with rotation of back foot. Rotational back foot, does a nice job of using lower 1/2 in swing. Occasionally back foot gets stuck…work to get rotated at all times. Overall, solid swing. RHH…open stance, lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot with some linear movement forward. Lower 1/2 works well, nice job of hitting into firm front side with good posture. LHH…barrel starts bit flat, hands in solid launch position. Barrel takes good path to hit zone, nice job of showing ability to manipulate hands. Swing works, not a big fan of flatter bat start, works for this swing, wouldn't change.
