Sudden Swing vs Get To Your Spot

[Cornbread]

Although the front foot may be weighted some the rear leg/hip relationship is still in tact. When you say floaters may be more adjustable is this in regards to attempting to cover the whole zone ? Getting to your spot dynamically (hitting position) is adjustable as in turn on it or go the other way. If hitters are getting to there spot early but are unable to adjust ( drive the other way) they are sequencing wrong.

That makes sense that weighting the front foot sooner/more would allow better plate coverage. I can see a floater having issues away or up. When I think about it they are both reading the pitch and making necessary adjustments. Could boil down to when you are committed to swinging at the pitch. Which has more time to apply the brakes assuming sequence is good?

Or like Ted said

Are you saying he is doing what ted said in his last paragraph?

Yes, with a dynamically balanced sequence you have all available resources at your disposal to swing or take..

Utley ? Absolutely !!

The shift is the slowest movement in hitting. Why not get it out of the way (get to your spot) before swing launch ?

This is getting the shift out of the way which allows for the free hands to seek a pivot to barrel up the ball.

You know if that was a fastball or something offspeed? Interested to see how he hits this year with all the hype.

I was just saying Ted said in the last paragraph you have made your stride but weight has not shifted from one foot to the other. Utley's back heel become unweighted. Which in my mind means he did shift.

 

[efastball]

just because a player doesn't leg kick or barely picks up or even no stride doesn't mean that they aren't "floating". All of them are simply timing weight shift.

This.

Either way, you must have the toe touch by the time the ball is halfway. So, for the purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter how slowly or suddenly you got there.

Sorry, no I don't. I assume fb since he needed to adjust the hand pivot.

Sorry, I don't believe he has compromised the fyb stretch in the clip.
