RJM, I know what you mean... It seems like those that glide are better balanced between Quad and Hamstring strength, while the others are more Quad dominant.

Yeah, look at usain bolt, he often looked like he didn't even try. A pushing quad dominant style is better for accelerating on the first 50-60 feet but that modern pulling sprinting style is better for top speed and maintaining it.

Not sure how relevant this is for baseball through as most sprints in baseball are like 30-100 feet. So not sure how much sense it makes to develope good top speed mechanics but if coaches look at the 60 it might be worth it. If you look at top sprinters their mechanics from 0-30 meters look much different than the mechanics they use the rest of the race.
