A 'good' hitter does not maintain the 'lag position'. The 'lag position' is simply a position that is passed through.

The 'action' of 'bat lag' is not a 'position', but an action.

You can verify it yourself ... the notion of "maintaining the 'bat lag position'" defies the Hanson Principle. It is not how good hitters swing a bat.

Every moving part of the swing is an action. Take a snap shot of a certain action and that is the "position" that certain action is in. That is what I mean by position.

The barrel is being flicked rearward from the lower body movement? Stare at her top hand.

Yeah. She's getting a good stretch keeping her hands almost static while her hip turn starts. Now stare at her front shoulder/elbow......

She has the sequence incorrect.

The notion of "maintaining a 'lag position'" is silly. A good hitter does not momentarily freeze the lag position in a 5-frame swing. A good 5-frame swing, which lasts 0.167 seconds, does not have time to momentarily maintain the 'lag position'.

What would happen if we ramped it up to a 10-frame swing? Would there be a momentary freeze at bat lag?

So you understand, you do not attempt to hold the 'bat lag position'. The 'bat lag position' is simply a position that is passed through, and not something that should be held or maintained.

SL,

We've played teams loaded top to bottom with elite D1 commits. Would I want to face a team full of CBs, NO. Would I want face a team of her hitters absolutely. Huge difference, there has only been one CB and I seriously doubt we ever see another one in my lifetime, she's that damn good.
