Putting the bat back

Posted by: Mike () on Tue Oct 16 12:30:58 2001

I've been noticing that Derek Jeter and Chuck Knoblauch of the Yankees both hold the bat back. You would say it was pointing the opposite way of the pitcher. I took a couple swings like that and the bat seemed quicker and it got through the strike zone quicker. I have yet to try this in batting practice or in a game but is it better to do.
