> Can you post a few videos of hitters hitting a inside and outside pitch well. Do dome hitters on the inside pitch lean back to get to that pitch? Or is it the front shoulder rotating back to the catcher which makes it look like these hitters lean back at contact?

This could start a good discussion.

Jack, do you have any video clip comparisons of the same hitter hitting the inside strike vs. the outside strike? Comparison of the little changes that occur in the swing to acquire different bat angles at contact and to make contact at different points in the contact zone would be very interesting. I believe what the forearm is doing and it's degree of connection to rotation at the moment of contact is a very important factor in this.
