I have read posts from Shawn here and elsewhere where he mentions that the U OF W team is rotational and I am pretty sure Temple teaches their hitters rotational mechanics.Can anyone tell me any other D1 schools where these mechanics are taught or accepted?

What ever happened to the supposed"consensus report"by the reigning ssoftball gurus?
