> He is a topic that has a big controversy. Is contact made deep or out in front of your body? This is the question I have for all you so called baseball experts. And are hitters short and quick to the ball or long and on time with the ball?

Mike,

Kind of sarcastic "so called baseball experts". I think that we are voicing our opinion and maybe helping someone and possibly learning something in the process.

Now as to where the ball is hit would depend upon pitch location. Inside pitch would be hit farther in front then an outside pitch that you would hit deeper in the zone.

Hitters should be quick to the "ball". I know some one will post in response to my comment that since I said quick to the "ball" do I mean take your hands to the ball, NO. By quick I mean your hands move a short distance while the bat travels a longer distance. Your hands may only move 4 inches while the barrel may move 3 feet and moving at a much faster rate then your hands.

Hope my opinion helped answer your question,
Graylon
