>>> Ted Williams says to stride as the ball is just above the pitchers right shoulder, stride lightly. Baseball world says to stride early and wait. Dusty didn't say when, but how. My sons coach says to stride and swing at the same time. What's your take on it? <<<

Hi Tommy

Welcome to the site. -- Andy gave you good advice. I would double his warning not “to stride and swing at the same time.” All forward body movement should stop before body rotation starts and the swing is initiated.
