I know they are just demonstrating their ideas here about "Launch Angle" and lifting the ball, but nobody is advocating what he demonstrates at 22 sec mark. At least IMO

They needed to do a better job of maintaining the hand pivot.. Pedro correctly called out the holes in the pattern. AJ struggled with the slider away as well as pitches up in the zone for most of the year after being exposed.

The Last I heard he has improved some on that front. Still not Very good, but Improved. And If they are off the plate, should he chase those?
No, but the inside/out pattern plays into it.

By Inside/Out are you referring to the classic hands inside the ball type of swing (Derek Jeter comes to mind) or something different?
No, I am referring to the turn down behind you.. The turn down behind plays (suckers you) into sliders down and away.
Apparently December 28 is Ground Hog Day. Who knew?

So you mean the out from. Forget the snap and tilt in the heading. I'm only concerned with his approach.
Middle out is a great approach !! Should be part of everyones hitting plan. Especially early in the count or when behind.
