Of course you wouldn't TEACH it (did I say that? I don't think so.) But don't try to change a guy if he's comfortable (and doing well.) Too many coaches try to put everyone in one "box." Grip and stance are the two most over-coached aspects of hitting (IMO.)

If a hitter stands on their heads and hits 350, then sure leave them alone. By the way top hand palm and bottom hands fingers, what in the world?..dog
