Wards style was either embraced or totally dismissed as being crafted specifically for aluminum bats. Not much in between.

I think it is safe to say that no one outside of Ward or his disciples teaches that style of hitting. Robin Ventura is arguably the best collegiate hitter of all time and his swing was retooled immediately upon being drafted by the White Sox.

Wards style of hitting was hands in the middle of the body, knees close together and don't swing at anything but the fastball. Always worked great in college until they faced pitchers that could locate the breaking ball.
