bkekcs-Looks like your son has been taught the proper mechanics in the swing. A very nice swing indeed! All he needs now is a few collard green seasons and growth spurts! peace shep

Thanks for the kind comments. Someone else had posted that picture of Pujols and I had just been looking at our pictures. With the help of my teenage daughter we put the two together. I don't know much about hitting mechanics (most of the detailed mechanics explanations on this board go way over my head ) but I could tell there seemed to be something he was doing right if he looked somewhat like Pujols picture (minus the goatee, many pounds and the several million bucks of course) Once again thanks.

Your son may or may not have a great swing. It's impossible to tell from a still photo at contact. Though 2 hitters may LOOK similar at any given point in a swing (i.e. contact), how they got there may have been totally different.

Wet Blanket Alert! Sandman: Very nice play of the "reality card." We wouldn't want anyone to read too much into those encouraging words here, now would we?

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger and bigger, and then it hit me.

Understood. You're absolutely right. Not jumping to any conclusions here. But the picture comparison is fun anyway.

I've always thought the guy on the right has very large legs and relatively small arms for such a big guy. Good looking kid on the left has his eyes on the prize!

Innocent You hit it right on the head what I like about this picture. He seems to be looking that ball right onto his bat. Now if we could only get those eyes to do their reading homework
