The only thing that I could really understand as an argument is that almost all OFs catch fly balls with 1 hand instead of using 2.
I got the impression he was talking more about things like base running for some reason.quote:Originally posted by Catching101:
To be honest, I have to disagree with the OP. Lack of baseball basics is prevalent in the Big Leagues? There may be a handful of guys that have wacky swings, but almost all of them have great swings! That's why they're one of only 750 Major League Players in the world (at any given time).
The only thing that I could really understand as an argument is that almost all OFs catch fly balls with 1 hand instead of using 2. Other than that, Major League ball players (collectively) are extremely mechanically sound.
I don't think that it's prevalent at the Major League level at all. Now, amateur baseball...that's a completely different story and not what the OP said.
