Luis Gonzalez, "I open up my back foot in the batter's box.."

Posted by: Carlos M. () on Mon Jul 9 19:45:28 2001

During the HR derby tonight, ESPN showed a clip of Gonzalez describing his swing. "I open up a lot more with my back foot in the batter's box; it's turned more toward the pitcher so my hips are freed up a little bit more..".

Could opening up the back foot (pointing the toes more toward the pitcher) in the box help contribute to better shoulder rotation???

Thanks.
