Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

What do people think of his front foot position? It looks at least, if not more open than what Epstein demonstrates on his “torque” drill. I see some major leaguers at 45 degrees or so, but not more than that. He looks more than that. Would like to see him more vertical as he comes forward. Seems to have his body (and weight) angled just a little bit back as he comes forward. Definitely a line drive type of hitter. Very flat (level) bat path through the ball. Not much shoulder tilt. Without the leg kick, a more centered starting position and a little upswing I see some resemblance to Nomar.
