So, just about everything I've heard and read says that elbows should be pointed downward (as in an upside-down "V") in hitting stance. Rest bat on back shoulder and lift the bat up so hands are around ear level. I took my daughter to a D I college game this weekend, and virtually every hitter on the team had their back elbow up, pointing backward, as you would more commonly see in baseball. Are there different schools of thought around this?
