I still don't know what the "surprise" is that nemisis was talking about...

I'm referring to follow throughs... Players have different ones because they cross the plate when batting right and don't when left.

The CD guys are always 2 steps ahead

Having direct access to those who make the game help - that's for sure.

But for the most part, the group brought in is extremely knowledgeable about the game BEFORE they are given direct access; It's impressive to be around.

I'm a switch-hitter, and this statement certainly does not apply to me.

LOL well Chipper Jones has two different stances as well. They are similar (and yes, mine is similar as well), but he doesn't try to replicate it on both sides. Same with Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

Basically, with the simple fact that I can't rotate my wrists counter-clockwise (looking from the knob of the bat), it automatically forces me to not have the same stance (because that would change my load, which would then change my swing). I just do what's comfortable for both sides for me. There's a standard idea behind both of them that are the same, but different rhythms and such. It helps me differentiate both sides of the plate, which helps me be more successful in the end. I think Nick Swisher talks about separating his approaches from both sides of the plate as well (helps him identify his strengths/weaknesses), though his stance is pretty similar from both sides.

Just sayin' all switch-hitters are a little off.
