Great to see and read posts from old familiar "faces" again...was worried setpro got the best of batspeed authors...but clearly see that is not the case any more. Just one comment:

> 1) BHL...it is not possible to pull-hit an OS pitch with the power/authority you could muster on an inside pitch...in fact depending on bat length, weight, hitters reach, pitch velocity and so on...it's not likely that (you) can pull an OS ball at all...let alone with authority (360 to 400-ft)...but I think maybe you could manage a 10-hopper to SS. Don't bother explaining about your model or drills off a tee, or someone feeded you soft-toss (while you step on the plate)...it's JUST NOT THE SAME as facing a late breaking curveball or a gased up FB. But you... do... know that...right ???

Jeff, BHL has never faced a quality pitcher, or he would never make the comments that he does.
