Brian,

If you are teaching players to pull the outside pitch to the shortstop, then strictly
rotational mechanics are even more rediculous than I thought. This should not be
described as common. Yes it happens but the hitter is usually out when it does.

If you are going to put a clip of a swing in here, make sure that it is a quality swing that
shows your point.

Anyone can take a poor swing on the ball to prove that poor mechanics exist.
