Why does he care. big deal. I didnt see a comment. I saw the typical arbitrary pic posting with no details, everything is an inside joke i guess

No inside jokes. If you notice I talk to myself. Normally no one responds to my post. The joke is on me.

I'll try, because this used to bother me greatly also.
I believe it was Hype, that planted a seed in my head about MLB players swinging down.
They all say they do it. They practice it.

in the Pujols clip, he says his THOUGHT is knob to ball, like Bustos.
then he demonstrates the motion, with EXAGERATION.
Just like when I teach, I will sometimes overbake a movement, so the end product will be close.

Now when you add your lower end to swinging down, Knob to ball, your swing is changed, but the thought is swing down, attack from above, direct the swing knob to ball, etc.

not sure if I was clear enough, but I tried.

Bold above ... not me ... I'm more interesting in 'directing' the "barrel" to & through the ball.

I'm new so tell me if should stop: break out the red pens
I use cut tennis balls and throw from 15-20 feetish : (lefty - full rotation - Stepper )
Fastball pitches you have to hit down 3rd base
flip change pitches you have to hit down 1st base.
You get 1 point each if you get it right
You get a strike if you hit it the wrong direction. (if you call it right and hit it wrong 1pt and strike)
You get nothing if you let it go and say 'next'

I think it helps them on two fronts: Keeping their eye on the ball.
Hitting faster pitches out front, and taking slower pitches opposite field.
