Pro-Hitter asked me to post this clip for discussion. It is a home run he hit against South Carolina.

In slow mo I see these things that IMO deviate from perfect but who can argue with a dinger . I am writing this before reading the others so it will be more fun.

He is certainly moving forward after heel drop. THe front leg appears to be crashing but recovers and straightens out. The process of straightening of the front leg should have been occuring earlier at bat launch I thought.

His bat at toe touch is still very straight up. It doesn't seem to flatten out to get on plane with the pitch which might be the reason he hit it off the top of the bat.I don't think he could have any tht from that bat position at toe touch.

He made a flawed move to the ball but he was athletic enough to make something of it. Any homerun is good. Congrats! THanks for allowing me to participate
