Batting Stances

[Baseball Purist]

Does anyone else struggle to hit with a player due to their batting stance or am I alone?

For me, I cannot hit with Justin Upton's default stance to save my life. In my franchise I started the season with a different stance for Upton and absolutely raked with him for the first month and a half. I went back to his default stance a couple of weeks ago (to get the sweet home run swing celebration) and have been absolutely terrible with him. The same happened in spring training, so I'm not really willing to tie it to a slump. Something with his default stance just makes me feel like I can't get the inside or high pitch.

I can't hit with Chris Snider's stance.

I'm the same way with pitching windups.. Pitchers with wild flailing arms distract me while using the pitch meter causing me to miss my spots.. o well lol

Happened to me with Cano. Had to take his stance of Saltalamacchia and put back his original one. I'm smacking the ball now.

Brandon Phillips. I find it impossible to concentrate on the pitch with that damn bat flailing around.

Try pitching against Phillips and Rizzo using meter pitching. Their wiggle with the bat is constantly in the meter.

I can't hit for **** with Allen Craig, damn bat movement throws me off... Thru 3 weeks I'm hitting .209 with him.
