Aaron and tht adjustment for pitch location


Posted by: Major Dan (markj89@charter.net) on Tue Dec 4 05:28:11 2001


Got this url from a post on Setpro. (Thanks gstock)

The article is interesting and in the ballpark. I mention it here because the author refers to the top hand elbow and the timing of the tuck as the difference between pulling an inside pitch and hitting an outside pitch away.
Although the angle isn't great, it appears to be Jack's theory applied - Aaron adjusts his back elbow angle before tuck to apply tht in the direction of the pitch contact.
The author shows the tuck happening one frame later on the outside pitch. I think I see the elbow moving back (rotating away from home plate) for the one extra frame.
Anyone else see this? or something else?
