Hit: RHH. Wide stance with toe tap stride, gains some ground with stride. Decent position to hit. Rotational back foot, body lays back, never gets into front side. Would love to see body be more upright at contact, hitting off firm front side, also with distance between feet after stride, may benefit from linear movement to back foot, should experiment with movement to see how it works. Barrel/hands start in solid position to launch. Length to swing with pull approach. Fair bat/hand speed…would benefit from shorter swing. 67.1 mph bat speed with 5 G's of rotational acceleration.
