Really? Cuz in real life his stance is kind of closed, and his back knee is bent a lot. Still good enough though in game.

Do you even watch them play? You would know that he doesn't wiggle that much

Plenty of bat wiggle in these Kemp highlights of 2012.

Here is a video of Matt Kemp talking specifically about his bat waggle from last season.

He does wiggle his bat, but to be honest his bat is much too low and not closed enough. But about the wiggle I think why it looks sort of funky to him is because of the way all the players in the game grip the bat. They all over grip it. Kemp in real life seems to use more of his wrists with his wiggle, while in that clip with Pence he is shaking both his arms and it looks like he is using his arms instead of his wrists/forearm to wiggle the bat. If Kemp in the game had his hands higher and griped the bat a bit more loosely I think the wiggle would look better to him.

Honestly though the stance looks ok, its hard to get everything perfect. Its just that we on here do get very critical of the stances, sometimes overly critical.

Edit: I thought that the new Kemp stance looked familiar, it looks like the alcides escobar from a year or two ago. I actually used that stance for Kemp since it was closed a bit I think. I do wish Kemps new stance was a bit more closed.

I do believe we can improve his stance. His hands should be a little higher for one, that would help a lot. Lorne has added this to our list for improvements. A lot of times, guys make adjustments and we do our best to try and keep up. We don't miss Craig Counsell one bit.

Do do agree with this and I think it's the limitation of the player exoskeleton in the game that is not allowing it to look more natural and I noticed the same thing with Ethier's real life stance and how they can't seem to duplicate it correctly in the game

BTW I used Napoli's last year because it was the closest to his bat positioning
