Ideal contact point, body angles & hand positions

The only time I felt the need for pulling the hands in to barrel up was with 2 strikes and protecting.

Yep, just trying to get the barrel on the ball.. I've done it before as well when I got beat and it was last resort

With all the shifts that occurs today.. I think it would be beneficial to hit the ball where its pitched vs trying to inside/out every pitch.

I don't know, after I hurt my knee I forgot how to hit for almost 2 years and was getting jammed all the time..cannot say I thought it was a good thing at the time

This is true also, getting jammed on every swing isn't the goal.

Well..I wouldn't say it was EVERY swing...but it was too many

Yeah, Trout is just one big muscle and super athletic so he can hit however he wants.. lol. Hard to argue with his results, but I agree, hit it where it's pitched
