Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Thanks Jack for your opinion on what is "your" site. Hopefully the handful of PFO proponents on here who were about to mess up theirs (others they teach) hitting will have been saved by your added support against PFO.

I don't know of any further substantiation I, Sports Illustrated, professional hitting coaches or anyone can provide BHL than Pujols and Wells who have worked to NOT be pull hitters in order to survive in MLB.

Doesn't appear BHL plans on providing any reasons these two professionals should follow his unearthed theory (thereby providing credibility as to why others should as well).

Add to this his noted contradications on his theory witnessed here at your site; and I suppose I can rest my case on the BULL theory.

I also suppose BHL will come back on, give his theory more spin, curve around Pujols/Wells and as usual, get his last digs in. Considering he has dug himself in deep enough already I'll do my best to let him dig deeper in his response without need for kicking more dirt over his now buried theory.

Regards on the issue,

Sam R.

The long flight time of a slow-pitched softball allows the batter to reposition himself in the box for middle-in swings. But the baseball hitters that come to this site do not have the luxury of time nor have they developed the mechanics of the better professional hitters. To encourage them to pull all pitches is irresponsible in my opinion.
