This. He stands so far off the plate to even try and help himself with that. His batting stance is extremely weird in that he almost looks like the kid from Rookie of the Year afraid to get in the batter's box.


Good god. Leaves thread.

It seems to me he is way too busy at the plate with all the flinching, he doesn't have a very solid stance and he stands in the extreme back corner of the batters box, almost to the point where his left foot is out of the box. Of course all of this has been brought up before and people have tried to correct it but he just isn't comfortable with changing it up...to me until that gets fixed he will always be very streaky and have extreme ups and downs.

okay. Here's Heywards swing and stance from 09. Notice he isn't far from the plate because pitchers haven't started jamming him in yet. Look at where the back foot is.


Here's Heyward at bat from this year. Notice how far from the plate he is due to his adjustment to pitchers pitching him inside. Look at his back foot. He hits the shite out of this one, but the pitcher didn't get it down and it was only 89.
