The link below is to the son of a friend of mine. He is a College player. What do the members of this forum think of his swing and how he can improve it?

Hey Nick,

I was just interested in how much success this player is having. I really like the things I see in his swing although I have trouble getting adequate frame by frame viewing. Anyway, his upper half reminds me of a left handed version of Bagwell. His load is intriguing and I've been mulling that Bagwell style load over in my head. You see it in Bonds from time to time as well...the hitter loads by swaying the bat back and forth towards the opposing batters box and back towards his shoulders (not loading the hands back as much as out and in). I think, in my humble opinion, that it creates some connection between the bat and the lower half. Anyway, I like his swing but would love to see a few more.
