My biggest problem with using game clips to prove a point is that it is one pitch taken out of game context. Game situation and count should dictate the type of swing one takes. If I have a man on second, no outs and I'm in a no run pitcher's duel, its my job to move the man to third. If I'm a skilled hitter, I'll take an inside out swing to ensure hitting the ball to the right side In a different game situation, if I'm ahead in the count, I may wait for an inside fastball and try to pull it using a more rotational style. As I've said before, the minors of full of guys who try to pull everything but forgot how to play the game of baseball. Game video clips can serve any style one wishes them to serve. jima
