Looking to study Robinson Cano's swing.

I was looking for some video to study Robinson Cano’s swing mechanics either I don’t know were to look or something. I found this on utube (see link) but the video is missing and neither could I find a good example of the swing with google, they have to be some place.

Does anyone have a link to some of Cano’s swings?
Any thoughts on his swing mechanics?

He looks very smooth and very little wasted motion and his BA and HR speak for themselves.

YouTube - Amber Theoharis asks Brady Anderson to break down Robinson Cano's swing

Thanks FFS for the video!!!!

Professional hitter. Period.

Time and again I have heard everyone say not to get over the back foot during the load, "don't sway". The second video seems to contradict that completely.
What gives?

IMO, he is also watching the bat head hit the ball, which many of you experts say not to do? Do you agree or disagree?

It isn't recommended even if there are exceptional MLB hitters doing it. It can create timing issues when you have a pitcher capable of changing speeds well. Having said that, he does manage to keep the weight inside the back foot even if only just barely so. If his weight were completely centered over the back foot the center-line of his body would be back more. Consider the camera angle as it doesn't appear to be directly parallel.

Is it possible that Cano has surrendered control to his rear leg, and in doing so has enhanced his timing?

I'm not sure what you mean by "surrendering control". This thread leads me to a question my DD asked me last night, "how do we know when the swing is perfect, finished or doesn't need more tweaking?" Is it when the swing looks like the model swings? I'm not so certain that many of you would not pick apart Cano's swing if you didn't "cano" who he was. So then is it purely the results you obtain from your swing and if so what results are we looking for; homeruns, line drives, decreased strikeouts, or something else. My personal measure of when the swing is done is when my DD stomps off the practice field telling me I have no idea what I'm talking about. That's pretty much when I say "we're good". What's your definition of when the swing is right and how excactly do we know?

When my daughter is ready to hang up her cleats is when she'll be "done" with her swing. It is a process more like a journey than a destination. When I switched my DD to the left side of the plate it wasn't for immediate results but with a long term goal of helping her achieve her dreams. I felt, at the time, that since she was an effective slapper with speed that it would benefit her to hit from the left. I know going in that she would struggle at first and get better results each year. It helped to put things in perspective when I read about what Whatley said when she switched to the left side and she said that she didn't couldn't hit for power until she'd been doing it for a while.

There will always be injuries, new bats, pitchers, strike zones, situations, etc. that she'll need to adjust to. I'm sure that almost all hitters at the MLB and college levels work on their swings every day in season. The truly dedicated work on them year around. I know the pitchers do.
