>>> Another advantage is, during the pitch, a hitter can footplant 2 inches laterally for better inside/outside coverage as required. <<<

Hi Mike.

I would like to have hitters who faced a 90+ mph fastball comment on your statement. As for myself and the batters I have worked with, toe plant takes place before pitch location is determined for pitches in the 80’s.

>>> Back weightshift during the inward turn is offset with slight forward stride. <<<

Maybe some negative stride hitters may replant their foot forward again. But, it does not appear Bagwell takes a “slight forward stride” after planting his toe back toward the catcher
