Batting Stance that you're comfortable with > High Attributes, Period.

Here is a good example:

Look at Moustakas power attributes...



Now look at the way I have performed with him.



This is all against real players (Zero played games against the computer)...I feel so darn comfortable at the plate with this batting stance that I don't think is possible for me not to hit the ball really hard at least twice a game with this guy. I have no idea where that power is coming from. So my only explanation is that I just got his batting stance down to a science.

Good chance I wouldn't be able to put those numbers with someone like Beltre or even Mike Schmidt.

Don't get me wrong...if you have the batting stance of guys like Trout and Miggy down...keep at it. But most people online pick up those players then find out they can't hit with them.

Totally agree. I have Brett Gardner's stance down. I have 21 homers with him at leadoff.

It's crazy how much the stance affects your hitting this year

Carlos Santana is this way for me. For some reason, with his stance, I somehow track the ball better and am able to react with solid contact. I could not do this with Schmidt or Nelson Cruz.

Yes, Carlos Santana is a great example. He has an awesome batting stance.

The stance doesn't affect the swing timing, though. It's interesting how some stances just seem to hit better even though there really should be no difference? Or is there a new element this year?

Yeah I don't really understand what people are talking about with different stances. How does one stance benefit you over another? I thought that the timing for each would be different, but that's not something that I have personally noticed.

I could have sworn I read a dev state that stance has nothing to do with timing or hit effectiveness over any other stance.

Even though I know it's just confirmation bias, I still have a tough time believing it. I stroke with Bautista in Home Run Contest but can't hit to save my life with Trout in the game mode.
