>>> Jack. Can you show some clips of top hitters swinging and missing on fastballs like a before and after. You mentioned yourself that you noticed that hitters who were in slumps had changed their mechanics or exhibited mechanical flaws. It would be interesting to see ex. an A-rod vs Justin Verlander (side view) and an A-rod when he hit a homerun of Bartolo Colon etc...... <<<

Hi Guru

In the early 1990s I made a video tape showing before and after clips of some of the games best hitters in a deep batting slump. Some of the players I recall were, Bonds, Big Mac, Strawberry, Eric Davis and Ryan Sandburg (sp). I agree with you that it would be interesting (and educational) if I could show and analyze those clips at Batspeed.com.

However, without MLB written consent, we would be liable to MLB copyright laws. With his connection to MLB, Don Slaught (and others) has attained MLB consent for his RightView program. Hopefully in the future, Batspeed.com will be granted their consent as well.
