Bat Path

[Mudders Brudder]

Pujols has said many times ‘every swing comes from inside’. He also has a flat bat path.
pullers approach? I think so.

Where do we start looking to compare a "flat bat path" to something that is not?

Would location of a pitch have anything to do with whether the path is "flat" or something else?

Yelich trains with Bonds , IMO learns how to pull the ball( down and across).. now he’s the best version of himself??? See where I’m going...

Doing that you have to get rid of any loop in your swing. Snap at contact.

You guys make hitting a ball so confusing...

An oppo stay inside approach vs a pull the ball approach.

The oppo stay inside approach is east/west? Pull is north/south? So bluedog's approach would be N/S?

Other way around.

the bat will flatten Or ‘turn’ more before launch. Less bend at waist. inside out vs pull.

IMO hitters who are leveraged fyb beat the pitcher to there position vs letting the pitcher dictate stride location... 2 strikes more defensive and not as leveraged.. This is what makes them more vulnerable..

I think we're saying the same thing. I look at the "leverage" being associated with the "fulcrum" point of the rear hip.

Is he not down and across? Does that barrel flatten.

isn’t this what Ted preached as well?

I think you would agree you don't want to rotate the hips to swing so how do the hips lead the hands?

"HYP", another really good hitting coach who used to post at another site used to say that the swing was "linear to rotational" which I liked, and I believe that applies to the rear hip as well.
