wolfy6finger Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Gary Sheffield/Albert Pujols/Tony Batista mix... I switch hit, so usually From the right side: It's an open stance (ie Batista), hands even with chest, slightly back (Pujols), slight crouch/bend at knees with a wiggle (Sheff) From the left side: It's more of an even stance (Sheff), hands even with chest, slight bend at knees (Pujols), no wiggle though.

UncleMo Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I just sorta stand in there like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air, dancing like him, only I'm holding the bat instead of snapping fingers. I've only been hit 4 times using that stance. Helps me get on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaunnieboi Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Chipper Jones, but I dont bend my left leg and I put my weight on my right side. Bat movement is that of Chipper from the left side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit4Heisman Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Mine is like Chipper Jones for the right side, left side I'm standing straight up and wiggling my bat way over my head, like Frank Catalanotto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandlot Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Closest in game to mine would be Giambi's stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdub Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I stand with my back to the plate, then I do a full 180 during the pitchers release. I've given a few catchers' concussions. It gives me lots of power, but the closest I have gotten to making contact with the pitch was a foul tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudvayneRocker Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I stand with my legs a kinda far apart and a lil closed. I dont bend my knees to the extreme but they still have a nice bend. i have my upper body sorta in the position of Vlad Guerrero or however you spell it. but with my hand i kinda have a sheffield thing goin but not as extreme. i would describe it as, lower body of Jacque Jones, with the upper body of Vlad, and the bat held like Sheffield.

nc4182 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have a Carlos Delgado style stance. Crouched with the bat slightly on my shoulder. Pulling the ball and driving it over the center field fence is my speacialty :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyth Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Right Side - like Troy Glaus Left Side - like Manny Ramirez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaunnieboi Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I changed my stance from Chipper's because I wasnt able to hit very well with it. So now the closest to my stance in the game is Bret Boone's stance. I do very well with that stance now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahjazzno12fan Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I stand facing the pitcher.... the toes on both of my feet are pointing toward center...... as the pitcher begins, I twist on my right heel.... this keeps me from bailing out at all on a pitch..... I cant tell yo how many pitches I have been hit with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kblavie Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 a-rod's stance I used o bat the same way, it got to the point though that if I'd play to long it took longer for me to get the bat off of my shoulder. I now bat with the bat held straight in the air vertically, with my wrists parallel to my face and about about 1.5 feet away from my nose. Then I crouch a little bit and tap my foot Hideki Matsui style but a little higher. But I can bat various ways. Ones marked with a star I can actually hit (decently) with. Derek Jeter Alex Rodriguez * Albert Pujols * Kazuo Matsui * Jason Giambi * Gary Sheffield * Rod Carew Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig * Alfonso Soriano * Julio Franco Ken Griffey Jr. David Ortiz * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDudleyDoWright Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My batting stance is sorta like David Wright. I just don't have the hands as high as he used to have, sorta like what he does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
