watching mlb batters on the tv hit different pitches at various locations I think I noticed their head angle changed quite a bit on different pitches. it seemed on the outside pitches at contact the batters heads and faces angled somewhat side ways and if a right handed batter were swinging their faces were pointing at the first base coaches box. and on middle and in pitches their heads and faces angle appeared much more upright and were facing the pitcher has anyone elese noticed this ? because it seems to me that head postion is very important the body follows the head. yet head postion is glossed over except for the usual comment keep your head in there !
or keep your head down and watch the ball.should head postion be taught at contact?
