Franklin Morales: Where is the Velocity | Baseball-Intellect

A break down on the struggles of Franklin Morales using video comparing his 2007 and 2008 seasons.  An excerpt from the article:

My third observation is the most important in my view: the front leg kick.

At the Futures Game, we see a front leg that kicks out forcefully. You can see how the front leg “firms” or straightens up; look at the ripple in the fabric of Morales’ pants as his front leg becomes fully extended and view that as an indication of the kind of force Morales uses. This leg kick triggers an aggressive turning of Morales’ hips into foot plant.
