What nonsense. Hitters adapt to the pitch they get. Or is Manny a golfer too???Absolutely agree with this...
One fires what one loads.
This hitter below loads the hands by "walking away", then she fires.
She is incapable of what Ortiz does with his: He loads his core, and then fires with his core. The scapula is the fulcrum and a critical element of the core. It is front and center to what orchestrates the activity in the upper extremity in BOTH the throw and high level swing.
Excellent hands vs very poor hands ?
Hugo is the Bryce Harper of softball. She is athletic enough to adapt and succeed in collegiate play. In my opinion, she "golfs" the ball. She has no scapula. I would not consider her a model swing.
And this example - attempting to show "poor hand usage" - should be thrown in the trash - but it won't. Of course it was taken out of context and put side/side with a hitter with a completely different assignment....
TeamM, be very careful who you get your advice from.
