Clearly there are great hitters who start low. Say, I don't know, Ricky Henderson, and I would guess Pujols doesn't have a lot of drop. Whereas a guy like Donaldson is pretty upright then sinks or sits into that rear hip.
Not so much asking about great hitters, but rather when trying to help novice hitters with lower body action do you find one is more or less likely to be productive as a style? May relate to stride length, but there is a super strong girl on our 14u team that has tons of pop if she would only use her lower body. She is both pretty wide in stance but also little to no bend in the knees, so I am wondering if a wide, upright, sit style is possible.
Also do they both have their benefits while experimenting to get a feel or learn good action?
