Jeff, excellent article. I have been gone so writing a short reply. Yoda could have been really fun to watch. It was shame his flame burned so quickly. It is great now to watch youth with such solid fundamentals. You are right on with KBIZLT. One thing I really push along with what you had said is in the squaring up to really extend through the zone and hit the inside of the ball. Kids want to pull, pull, pull. Next season in high school, as with college this season, baseball goes back to fundamentals of smaller ball and not the power stroke. I love watching a kid take the outside pitch to the opposite field. That only happens when the bat has a long hitting area. In a similar way, back in the 70's when I played a lot of golf, two of the best ball strikers was Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino. They had two of the most consistent hitting areas of anyone in golf. Baseball is no different in the physics required and applied.
Great thoughts again!! Thanks.
