To have wide stances with little or no strides? They all hit super spread out, and most of them look stuck at the plate. I can’t think of one hitter on the team who has a leg kick or even much of a stride.

Its a pretty good strategy for most hitters.
Helps get into your legs and keep your head still when swinging. Added bonus of more time to evaluate the pitch

Milam has a pretty wild leg kick.

It’s easier to hit the ball if you don’t have a leg kick or huge stride



But the team sucks, so I guess we can criticize anything right now.

It works for some. But certainly not all. A lot of successful hitters use a leg kick or operate in a narrower stance. He seems to force the wide base on all hitters. At least that’s what it appears.

It worked for tommy white when he had 2 strikes. But none of these guys are close to being tommy white
