I have a problem with keeping my front foot closed. For some reason it's awkward for me to rotate my hips and keep my foot closed. My front foot aways ends up pretty open. More then 45 degrees. I would say my front foot (my left foot cause I bat righty) points between the second basemen and second base itself. How bad is this?? Is this really a big problem?? Do I lose potential power?? Does it cause my hips to open prematurely?? Thanx in advance...
