Niko Vasquez (Cardinals) Hitting @ Bat-R-Up Las Vegas Feb 5th 2011

Everything about his swing is ugly.

Remove the rhythm from that load, my man. Could lead to problems when you're slumping.

why's everyone saying ugly swing? He's a pro and that swing is what helped him get there probably. The hands don't seem to make a difference, they're coming through the ball nicely, and everything is sync.

@swishnow95 Look at his back foot though. It shouldn't be falling down though, especially when he's not swinging hard. It's hard to hit like that because it affects your balance.

[swishnow95]

@tng150 I know what you mean, but the foot isn't coming down during the swing, and its only coming down because of the weight transfer

[tng150]

@swishnow95 its turning so much it's rolling and falling back.

[swishnow95]

@tng150 after the swing though and it isnt affecting how he's turning on pitches

[tng150]

@swishnow95 it's not good

[tng150]

@swishnow95 And it pulls you right out of your swing. I'm sure he's sure-handed in the infield because his swing isn't very impressive.

[swishnow95]

@tng150 I definitely see what youre saying but there are a countless number of approaches to hitting which makes it tough to really break down any given swing unless there are so many aspects that are just blatantly wrong. Right now the only thing that I'd say is concerning is the fact that what he does with his hands looks like it might be creating a little bit of bat lag through the zone which is why he's hooking a lot of balls foul
