> It took several months but we have completed an autocad simulation of the baseball swing. As most will offer, there are a multitude of parameters/factors that need to be addressed/input/reviewed if such a model is to determine bat-to-ball contact positions...and subsequently evaluate defined power positions. That said, and prior to submitting any geometric observations/calculations, I would offer to BHL:
> 1) There are very few examples found where hitting to the opposite field is detrimental to the game of baseball.
> 2) There are even less examples found of players upset with hitting opposite field home-runs off a 90+mph O/S pitch.

Perhaps BHL is 7'-6" tall with a 9' wing-span and swings a 60" bat. This would make it much easier to "go yard" accross the outside part of the plate. I think BHL offers his PFO just to get a rise out of certain people on this site.

Hi All:

My model has been depicted geometrically.

If you have problems with the original theoretics, perhaps you can implement the SBK move, a move closer to the plate, so an otside pitch seems inside.

I have classes all this month, so I will present all my evidence the first chance I get.

I read all your messages, and will respond with a geometric counterargument.

Best Wishes,
BHL
