              Todd Frazier is the Comeback King of the HRD...Frazier vs Joc/Albert for the trophy.

                    If your point is that he's taller therefore his swing plane will be less flat, I can go with you on that. I'm not talking about a loop, though. His hands arrive at contact from below the ball, not above. A ten foot tall player could learn how to backspin balls just like a three foot person can learn to uppercut.
                    It's impossible to hit a baseball with any kind of power with your hands below the ball unless the pitch is above your hands to start. I can guarantee Bryant doesn't hit the ball with his hands below the ball.





                    Again, his swing plane is going to be more of a loop because of his height. Any pitch at his knees, he has to drop the barrel lower than the typical player because it's farther from his level swing plane. I'm guessing that's part of the reason for his very wide stance.. to try to lower his hips and hands a bit.

                        They all are. Maybe that 1st round took more out of these guys than anticipated.

                          Nice burst from Joc at the end there...still, what, 8 HRs or something is the lowest of any hitter tonight?

                            I don't think Pujols can beat that round...Joc vs Frazier coming up.

                              Lmao who was it? Ravech? Saying he was standing more upright or something, and then Joc busted out 6 outta 7. Just shut your mouth Karl.
