Those pesky one legged and back elbow down hitters.

Lol..Hank didn't get cheated did he?

Such a short explosive swing. Imo the best hitter to ever do it.

Looks like he almost jumped out of his shoes on that one...lol.

Here’s a late plane by Trout. Back elbow late. Up pitch. Then a missile on a regular pitch. Trout keeps his elbow up for awhile. Murders low pitches, and struggles a bit w high stuff. Maybe a reason or maybe not.

Girls hit riseballs all day long. Maybe something to be said for a lower elbow? Maybe not?

I am trying to think of good high ball hitters. Puckett maybe? You got something from him?

I do not. I should though. He was a great hitter

Romero's free hands allows for driving this pitch up in the zone. She was definitely cheating for this pitch.

She looks similar to Jennings here..

Refer to Post #8.

FYI: Forearm, not elbow.

It's a simple leverage issue. The less flat the forearm is, the less leverage you have on the bat head. You want the 90 deg angle like Hank above at the start, then bring the elbow and bat head down in unison (to hip slot).

If you bring it down from a flat start, the bat head will be flat at the end. If you bring it down from halfway, the bat head can only travel halfway, then you have to muscle it the rest of the way (drag).

Is that toe touch or a frame or two before?..no cheating
