They nailed Luis Urias stance, I fricken love it!!

I believe Tyler O'Neill's stance is updated as well.

Zack Greinke — looks fantasic!
Kyle Hendricks — looks new from what I can tell.

The windups added this year look so much better. Whoever they had doing them, give the person a raise, and keep them coming. Night and day difference from the typical softball toss nonsense we’ve had over the last decade.

I think they screwed up Hendricks with someone else...he no longer goes over head in game, where he always has IRL. IIRC Hendricks had a 'easter-egg' motion last year like Ronald Acuna where he is always given his motion but it is listed as Generic 1, so maybe that motion is still in game??

Couple other Cubs related bits: I saw Jason Heyward had a new stance, and they added Adbert Alzolay's motion

Unfortunately Ian Happ didn't seem to get an update. His stance was a little off last year. Anthony Rizzo also didn't seem to get an update (but he they did get rid of his awful long, straight hair style from last year so I will take it)

It’s been tough finding good footage. Most of the streamers use a zoomed in camera so you really can’t see the batters stances.

Aside from a couple vids, not too many CPU vs CPU uploads. Curious which video had the Logan Gilbert footage.

You can see all the stances/windups in practice mode

Found a few guys with new HR swings too (not a complete list):

Bo Bichette
Wander Franco (as a LHH....forgot to check his RH swing)
Akil Baddoo
Tyler O'Neil
Jared Walsh
Javy Baez
Paul Goldschmidt (2-handed HR swing now)

I think George Springer and Manny Machado also got updates but they look very similar to last year
