See the ball, hit the ball? Teaching a pitcher where he needs to get to, as opposed to showing him how to get there? You're creating ficticious scenarios to make a point.
MY point, is that excluding core movement fundementals, much of the stuff that's thrown around in here, results in paralysis by analysis.
Do players look at film? Sure they do, as they did in years past.
I've said that I had the opportunity to work in the past for a professional baseball team, in a sales capacity, certainly not as a player. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pick a lot of guys brains regarding hitting. Never, once did any of them talk in a fashion, that remotely resembles the dialogue here.
Why? Because the people that cart this stuff in and out of laboratories,don't play the game at a high level, nor do they teach it at a high level. No knock, just a fact. I mean why doesn't Epstein and disciples of his teachings, talk about hitting the same way as in here? Because he was an actual MLB player, that was taught by IMO, the best MLB hitter of our lifetime! But,that's not good enough for most fokls in here I guess.If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go check the distance that Manny Ramirezs'foot lifts during pre-launch with a micrometer. I'll get back to you with the results.
