Interesting points.. Howard is 100% against moving in the box as a rule... he told me that the ball has to cross the plate and enter the HITTERs hitting zone - a well trained hitter will hit it when it does - low, high, inside, outside ... but, I do recall him starting to teach 'stepping' toward first with the back leg on outside pitches and making contact before foot is replanted ... hope he chimes in soon and blows me up on this!
A thought........... the ball has to come into the hitters zone this is true. Then how do we hit the ball solidly with the bonds drill if it is not doing so? Wouldent the same principal apply at the plate?
Maybe movement can be somewhat of a determining factor. Also wind and weather at that time of the pitch. A ton of varriables. We will see what The great OZ has to say
