Timing step- any reason for it?

Posted by: Carlos M. () on Mon Apr 30 19:42:58 2001

I guess the question is this- does a 'timing step' contribute to batspeed/power in any way at all?

I assume that the answer is 'no'.

So why would any great(300+/30+)/rotational hitter use one? Is it just a comfort/habit thing (they've been doing it and seeing it for years and years so now it just 'feels' natural)?

Thanks!
