What I meant was, he doesn't turn his shoulder 90 degrees to his "target line". In frame 3, he has as much shoulder turn as he ever gets...and it aint much! This is an awesome link by the way! I love the Tony Gwynn commentary. As a former baseball player I love stuff like this!

Trig,

Seeing as how most homerun hitters are dead pull hitters, even if he's starts off sqared away , he's still about 35 degrees closed to his target line to start.

Barry does have amazing lag. Seeing this is very humbling and explains why I could never hit a softball very far in the corporate league. After all these years of golf, I could never imagine trying to be so open at impact. As a result, poor rotation. a quitting stroke to be sure.
