Question? Why do you stand with a closed stance? I found I used to stand square and I would not be able to extend my arms. I stand open and off the plate and I get more weight moving forward towards the pitcher. Becuase your closed it seems like IMO you are losing some of the weight transfer. It is transfering back out to be square instead of back towards the pitcher. IMO it looks like it would be very hard for you to hit oppo with any pop because it would be all arms.
Just my opinion and maybe something to consider. Look at some of the greats they all (most) stand a bit open and step into it instead of into it but away from it at the same time like it looks like your doing.
Dont hate, just trying to help
No hate here. This is why I wanted to post it.
I've always had a closed stance. I am pretty much a dead pull hitter, with the occasional accidental middle/right shot. You are correct though, oppo i have very little power. But, I don't try oppo that often. Next bp session I have a chance to do, I will stand more open.
Would you suggest just keeping my front foot back or actually rotating my entire body? I ask because I want to give it a fair shot when I do.
I can't. Every time I try to see the ball contact the barrel, I miss it. It's weird, and I have made a conscious effort before to watch the ball into the bat, but like I said, I miss it everytime.
