So, today coach made us try this new stance. Its only for a 2 strike count and said that if we did not do it in the next games, she would bench us.
Basically, we have to put the toes of our back foot on the batter's box line close to the plate. We then have to have an open stance. Our front foot toes basically has to point toward the second base man if not pointing more toward the pitcher. We are not allowed to step or anything. All they want us to do is use our hips. When I tried it, I had no power what so ever with the outside pitch. He said that I am dipping trying to hit the outside pitch. (when I was trying that stance). I don't know what to do, I do not feel at all comfortable with that stance.
Above is an email from DD, who seems stressed reference the 2 strikes stance the coach is advocating. Seems rather strange and IMO seems rather awkward how my mind sees it JMO.
My advise was to never get into a 2 strike count.
