Maybe to you he’s not one of the best hitters. You can see the complete interview on you tube.



He is talking about being in the rear column, controlling the load/timing and the stride doesn’t matter (a light soft stride as he explained). Which means he wasn’t a momentum hitter, he controlled it.

Anybody have an early career ( MiLB or Twins) swing for Papi?

I believe this was pre Twins.

He might be starting later and perhaps not controlling the load/timing. I have him with the Twins, no starting early.

Yeah the one with the Twins isn’t anything like that swing.
His actions are a lot bigger later in his career..has to start earlier.

Bigger maybe, it’s like he said he learned how to control the load/timing. I would even say he wasn’t into the rear column as much in his early swing (even though it’s harder to see with that view) like he explained in the video.
