This is the introduction of a new feature on the site, "Fundamentals in Photos". Every morning, I will post a picture from the previous night's Major League action depicting how sound fundamentals translate into results for players at the highest level!
Pictured here is Ryan Roberts of the Arizona Diamondbacks finishing a swing that resulted in an absolute BOMB in Phoenix last night.
What should I be looking at?
Head: Roberts' head and right foot. His head is down as he drives through the ball, with his eyes fixed at the point of contact.
Back foot: The back foot has the heel elevated, which has allowed Ryan to clear his hips and create that torque that I talk about so often. Again, all power in baseball, whether it be on the mound or at the plate, derives from the CORE.
