Athletes' Performance Baseball Training - Matt Carpenter, Rotational Chop

No, having similar or the same power output does not mean anything to the skill ability to hit from both sides, rather just means that there are no major imbalances from left-to-right. You are correct in that it is mimicking the baseball action of hitting, and thus we call it a sport-specific exercise for his sport of baseball.

If he demonstrates the same power output in each side are you suggesting he can hit the same from both sides then? Again I am curious as to how this is sport specific. It looks more like a sport mimicking exercise.
