Its amazing how the best can get it done. To me, he looks as if he is expecting something down in the zone and gets a belt high mistake. His bat goes horizontal to vertical to horizontal in a blink of an eye. So much for plane.View attachment 20445
Manny not ‘on plane’. Very vertical. Tips it towards the plate( has to for that location) then down and direct. The bat ‘closes’ towards his head while the core not his arms leverage the swing in front. SEQUENCING.
there’s a reason why bat sensors have such a high variable of degrees within certain metrics. Worthless.
In the gif on the left the barrel is in line with front forearm. Gif on right, barrel is in line with rear forearm at contact. Also the gif on the right the barrel is more perpendicular to the spine angle. Not sure which is better but think both can work. Gif on left would probably be more left side dominant with loose right hand and the gif on the right would be right hand dominant swing.

Except that physics comes into play and that means force vectors. To apply torque lost efficiently, the force should be applied at right angles to the lever. To me that means the bat should be perpendicular to the axis of rotation.the whole ‘plane’ thing has been overblown imo. It’s get the bat on the plane of the PITCH, Ted spoke about. Not the body. Been seeing that around here lately. One shouldn’t have a goal of swinging through the shoulder line. That’s Golf. Can you get a loaded barrel inline w the incoming pitch as late as possible should be the equation. Planing late let’s one see it deeper and commit at the latest in time and space. With a more segmented and sequenced swing. Early planing is early committal and less adjustability.

shoulder tilt too.it’s perp to the spine
which one is better? and why?
