Meagan Wiggins /George Brett

[Shawn]

I know this is basically a neck slot starting position, but is this considered swinging around the body (sort of like a Stanton path) ?

Do you consider Wiggins swing different then this path (which is an extreme example, HR derby swing) ?

Is Wiggins "around" and Cabrera "out from"?

Comments? I know the answer, I just wanted hear others opinions.

IMO she uses her body too much.

She does have very quite hands. Just hold on to the bat and turn maybe?

She has a very simple swing. She says "you know what the hands do in the swing? They hold the damn bat." LOL. The ball only has to go 200 ft. Could she find more power and hit it farther if she changed somethings? Got a running start. TTB, went out from? Probably, but why?

Also gents please don't forget to comment on the red pancake flipper (spatula) and bleeding the corner. Thanks

Ok I'll bite. what do you use the pancake flipper for and does it have to be red?

Also "bleeding the corner" explanation would be appreciated. Thanks

Butter was referring to the Insider Bat ... https://www.insiderbat.com/.

HUH? I am so confused

You are right to be confused. The reference to bottom-hand usage that I was speaking of takes place at 'swing launch'.

Exactly, the ball only has to go 200ft. Compared to their counterpart where the ball has to go 350 to 400ft. You don't have to have an ideal swing in fastpitch, quickness is more important then top bat batspeed in fastpitch.

FYI ... for a treat, I'll have the girls hit baseballs ... big difference in how far baseballs fly with the same swing.

Not sure I understand why she isn't being viewed as turning the barrel. Her handset starts in a tipped position behind her head. But that's fine. You don't need to actively tip in order to turn. In the slow-mo version of the clip just when she looks like she might start to initiate a forward push she instead works the handle between her hands and snaps the barrel to contact. No?

I just commented on her hands in general, nothing about TTB with the hands.
