Bryan LaHair.
In the game he has an open stance and is moving way to much, also in the game he is set up standing just like Mark Kotsay which isin't right. But, now since we're seeing him play more, we can get a better feeling on his stance. He should have a closed stance, and the nudging he does with his arms.

TAKE THE 2 HANDED FOLLOW THROUGH ON WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 1 HAND FOLLOW THROUGH OUT OF THE GAME PLEASE!!!

I hate seeing Pujols and A Rod follow through with 2 hands, and i try to give my RTTS player a 1 hand follow through and every f*****g time he swings with 2 hands.

Player: Carlos Santana (Cleveland)

His stance is actually in the middle of changing right now, so in the game, as it stands is correct. It's more of a note to keep watching him for next year. Currently he stands on the tip of his front toe and lifts his leg directly up.

Right now he is making the transition to actually slide his front foot towards the plate, tap his toe, then lift his foot forwards towards the pitcher. Obviously this one might change again in the future, but it's really just a note to keep watching him. Last I saw it seems like from the right side, he actually keeps his current stance, from the left is where he seems to be making the adjustment.

Brennan Boesch does not have an open stance. Perfect stance for him is Corey Hart.

Player: Travis Snider

As you can see in this video, Travis is holding his hands much lower this year and the bat straight up and down. Feet shoulder width apart, small step forward

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Not sure if any of these were mentioned already. I don't really have the time to post pics and such. Hopefully if they were posted already the redundancy might help in showing which players are wanted for changes the most.

But with all of these stances, the main problem is going to be custom swing animations. i.e. Derosa's stance or Jose Bautista. Since that is probably a ot of work, I dont really expect the devs to add many next near. However I think that the new stances and pitching animations are some of the first, if not the very first thing players look at each year. I know its the first thing I want to see every single year. Hell, there were people going to Best Buys to take pics of players and stadium changes.

Andrew McCutchen: His stance needs to be more open and the bat starting on his shoulder. then as the pitch is thrown raise the bat and step in line with his back foot.

Starlin Castro: His pre-pitch stance is sort of terrible. He usually waves his bat from behind his ear, then maybe 30-45 degrees, then back to his ear/shoulder. The step animation in the game is ok, I wouldn't really change that, just the pre-pich routine. There are several stances in the game where there are several bat waves before the pitch in the stance, where there are maybe 2-3 waves and each one has different timing on it to give the illusion of randomness. That would be perfect for Castro's stance.

Anthony Rizzo: He had a custom stance but it wasn't selectable so maybe he's a candidate for next year, but I'd assume that stance was way off based on his 2011 year. His stance is very similar to Werth's, but he has a very short step and doesn't wave the bat as much.

Ichiro Suzuki: This has been my NUMBER ONE request forever. Please add one or a few Japanese style stances with custom swing animations to 2013. I can't bear to have Ichiro on my team on franchise because his stance has been so terrible since the PS2 days of The Show. I know he's on the verge of retirement now, but do him some justice, if only to add an actual crane style stance to the game for future or created Japanese players.

Alfonso Soriano: He seems to get a changed stance very once in a while, but they always suck. His stance hasn't really changed in years so I dont know why they always look like crap. There was an old Omar Infante stance, not sure it was ever in a PS3 game. But look at that stance, it wasn't that bad, just needs higher hands and a higher kick.

There are a lot more. I'll maybe add some when they come up again int he game and I notice them.

P.S. Please change the hands on the stances. A lot of players grip the bat weird and seem to nearly all be the same. Yes, some players grip it that way. But not everyone. Every stance in the game has nearly the same grip with the hands twisted too far into each other (if you look down at your hands as a right handed hitter twist your left hand clockwise a bit too much), many of the stances are like this. Many hitters have them much looser, more on their finger tips. Its always bothered me.

Alex Rios

he changed his batting stance after his terrible year last year. He doesn't have the bat down at his waist anymore, and raises his heel when the pitcher throws and then makes a quick stride step.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player: Justin Morneau

What needs to be updated: His bat should be motionless on his shoulder and should be tilted more forward. His back elbow should be up more and his feet should be close together and knees should be bent more. His front foot is also slightly closed, maybe a few inches.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Curtis Granderson needs a two-handed finish, and he also doesn't put his front foot on the tips of his toes when he loads up in the game, and seems to do it with increasing exaggeration at the plate this year, seen ABs where his his foot is practically perpendicular with the ground.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Allen Craig needs to be more bent over at the waist and not so "movey" with his arms and bat.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Holliday's stance looks great, but he needs to have a one handed follow through more often. He also has a pretty distinct home run swing follow through. It's about the same as all his hits as well.
