All those guys would get into a proper hitting stance once the pitch was about to be delivered. The pre-pitch stance didn't matter. But little leaguers didn't always understand that or couldn't get into a proper stance quickly enough.

I always liked Andre Dawson's stance.

Sheffield had a perfect stance for wiffle bat.

You could whip that plastic bat around like a slingshot and crush the ball

So good ones mentioned. A few more I tried to copy were from Juan Gonzalez, Ron Gant, and Pete Incaviglia.

There was a guy on my high school team that would have a different pro's batting stance at BP. Coach would get pissed and started throwing at him til he stuck with something.
