Last week at practice there was this woman explaining how to field grounders for about 30 minutes.
Vlad is a beast, Jays aren't winning any titles this year, but damn, exciting team to watch right now
Sequencing is much more than getting your foot down on time... I'm just saying when I played I was not aware of all the technical aspects, which maybe meant I had a pretty crappy swing
Don't know if that makes sense or not
Balanced movements helps get you into a leveraged fyb position dynamically.
One can tell if the sequence is off just by practicing the move out, and then make adjustments with the first move (UFA's)
Hard to move out fb sit off-speed if you can't do it.

What are trying to show with these two clips?
All I see is weight shift, and not done correctly, bad weight shift.
How one can move forward yet stay back (fyb) without shifting the weight across the pelvis to the lead leg. I am guessing based on your comments you have never felt and swung from this position. It provides the feel of leveraging all available resources. There are plenty including Rich who can't move out without shifting the weight across the pelvis to the lead leg.

Yep, getting FYB(which back in the day I didn't have a label for it) on time(regardless of pitch) every time slowed the game down considerably for me. Hitting is hard enough, but getting in a balanced dynamic positing ready to launch made a 60 MPH fastball seem a little slower, if my sequence was off, everything was rushed and that same 60 MPH fastball seemed like 80 .
Tried explaining to my DD before when you get on deck, forget the speed of the pitch initially and try to get in rhythm with the pitcher. Funky delivery can throw a hitter off regardless of speed. Coach use to keep saying "time the pitch"... I think most young ladies misunderstood and were gaging the speed and not the pitchers movements prior to release which I think is most important. Hence why you see pitchers today in baseball changing their delivery, delayed, quick step/stride etc..

I like that idea!
