Notice 3 things...
1. The catcher's body language upon seeing the ball hit. (classic!) Michael don't ever do that!!
2. Watch wear the ball lands. Scary. (hint:look about 10 rows above the WM sign)
3. Really watch the slow motion replays and you will see a perfect swing.
Note that he doesn't have the high leg kick though he has little or no weight on his front foot until he starts his rotation from the ground up. (about when the ball is 20 feet from him.)
ReplyDeleteBelow is the rotational order of operation. Everything stays closed until it is its turn to fire in sequence from the ground up.
Back Foot, Back Knee, Back Hip, Shoulder, Hands
