The pitch in the clip is a slider BTW.
I see swinging down with posture support in the swing, Lewis. Compared to the kid who has a upright posture and a hand path that works down with no support.
Yes, been saying this for a while.. the greats isolate hand path in their demo, but of course they have no posture and 0 sequence when displaying this. That's why in demos barrel path results in a chop down type motion.. and everybody says "WTF". Add in posture and good sequence to equation and that = a major league swing. Some get so caught up in barrel path they only pay attention to the hands and the barrel .. this is a shortcut and an error in approach IMO.
Watch any video on Matt Atonelli describing TTB vs Down to and you will see what I am talking about. Matt displays down to with no sequence and no posture.. showing how the barrel doesn't follow that path in MLB swing.. In comparison he displays TTB with no posture and sequence and then makes the conclusion that this is the path the barrel follows in a MLB swing.
