>>> so in the above scenario, a batter like McGwire will adopt a strategy of bend front leg because if he didn't he would get MORE rotation and hands would probably remain a bit closer to the body and therefore, not get at the outside pitch, stand farther away, you hang on (lessen) rotation, allowin you to get to that pitch . . .

yes????? <<<

Hi Mpf

That's about it. Except, I don't think he adopted a strategy of a bent front leg. He adopted a strategy of moving away from the plate, which resulted in the bent front leg.
