Blockbuster Breakdown - Scouting the Indians/Brewers Trade

Video analysis of the key players in this major trade…

Sabathia breaks his hands early, but simply tucks his arm behind his body before loading the arm horizontally. Just before the arm begins to load up, Sabathia kick-starts an aggressive hip rotation by using what is called a step-over move because it looks like he is stepping over an imaginary object.

...LaPorta has a classic power hitter’s swing. He does a great job of carrying his weight forward forward. Notice how the bat stays connected to the body as he loads his hands by moving his elbow almost behind his back similar to the way a pitcher loads their arm horizontally.
