barrel/hand pivot point, a.k.a TTB

[Shawn]

This was a HR that sent the Astro's to the WS. This was a pitch on the outside coming from a lefty (Chapman). It was hit over the LC fence. You can pull an outside pitch if it's up a little, doesn't work so well if the pitch is down.

Is there early TTB or just a deeper HPP (hand pivot point)?

Ok back to the first clip posted. The swing path is rotational with the oarlock effect, per Mankin. There isn’t a lag position or importance of such in this swing. Compared to Frank R above there are some differences in the two swings.

21 years ago, I thought the initial hip and lower body created a stretching action. Nothing has changed since then as the X factor explained the action a few years later.

That does happen, I agree. My comment is more directed at a few that seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the man. And whether they want to admit it or not, their constant commenting is actually driving more traffic to TM's twitter page. Personally, I think TM should send them a thank you

Speaking of unhealthy obsession with the man, .... RDBASS

Very unhealthy. He thinks he invented the HL swing.

I think the Altuve swing and the Frank R. clip shows there is more then one way per pitch location and environment.

There is only one launch.......but, you go ahead and teach your 5,6,7 ect swings for the different pitches.
Obsess on that.......
