>>> I agree with you that MJ had great potential prior to actually getting in the "game". Lacking proper fundamentals certainly contributed to his poor batting average. Also, I happen to believe in the concept of throwing the bat/hands at the ball. <<<

Hi Jeff M

Normally, when we think of a "throwing" action, such as throwing a baseball, spear or etc., the arms and the muscles in the arms have a very active role in accelerating the hands and the object. Do you see that same active role for the arms and muscles in the arms in accelerating the hands in the baseball/softball swing? If so, how would you describe that arm action?
