Some land on the toe, some land flat footed. Others don't have to land.
Martini, make up your mind and stick with what you say...Talk about dishonest...
Now, you said MLB hitters stride to the toe, then do all these miraculous things, then swing, on offspeed pitches...Well, show me a clip of Bonds putting his front toe down, then waiting to swing....
Giambi puts the front toe down, then swings, on all pitches, fastballs included......He, also, leaves more weight on his backside than does Bonds.....Video proves this.....
Another thing video proves is that MLB hitters sit and lower COG on all pitches, including fastballs.......
Conclusion is that Bonds has a much more efficient swing than does Giambi.....Giambi has slack in his swing....Bonds doesn't because he does not do what you say MLB hitters do.....Plain and simple.....
