re: Paxton Kling’s batting stance

If you actually pay attention to his foot placement from his original open stance once the pitcher starts his motion, youll see that his swing stance is pretty even, which is ideal. Now you could make the argument that his movement is alot and may slightly shift his eyes…but alot of guys do it and are fine. So i dont think thats the issue

This is exactly right.

The kid's problem is in his head, not his stance. Sometimes, when guys change their approach or stance to try to fix an issue that is mostly in their head, it gives them a touchpoint that helps them get their head on right but I am not sure it is any more successful than time for most guys. It's really almost like you just have to give up trying then you get 2 or 3 hits in a row and suddenly you're back in form.
