Being able to hold off on any type of swing is a larger part of real/sim baseball then being able to pre-determin a swing type.How many hitters in mid count can shortin up their swing by choking up on the bat & finding more sucess at the plate.Players who can do this well are in the HOF.I like the addition of a new swing type , however by removing a very essential part of batting ..we may see Manny become Tony. & Evan becom Paul or Adam become Wade.Boggs Gwynn & Molitor used a defensive approach every at bat for the most part.With check swings in , this defensive swing could add to the overall pitcher batter dual.With check swings out ,hitting becomes a very slippery slope.


Ok coach I can choose the type of swing I want , but I can't hold off on it.Sorry I struck out , sorry I can't strike out."well son , just hold off on the pitch......Coach I dont want to play anymore.
