Brooks Orton Hitting @ Bat-R-Up Las Vegas May 17th 2010

He stays a lot more in his legs now also, his back foot doesn't go to the toe anymore. I believe its a much improved swing.

[scouting1960]

he will be top round draft pick out of college.

@sychophantt watch an mlb game. lots of elite players have bad fundamentals and ugly swings. talent beats philosophy

[2mrbaseball0]

@slutmonkey62 EXACTLY! you cant teach hitting. Some people are just born to hit. 

[2mrbaseball0]

I saw him hit in Arizona for over a week, he hit something like .680 with 6 doubles against top pitching. There were at least 10 pro scouts at everyone of his games, and i heard he signed at Texas. So i don't think philosophy matters.

@2mrbaseball0 exactly tell that to the guy who was arguing with me

[midinfield4life]

@sychophantt  yeah bullshit

[LongGone141]

no it doesnt

[sychophantt]

Swing needs work

[tng150]

@sychophantt and you hit better?

[sychophantt]

@tng150 Much better I know how to hit, he is just swinging with no philosophy behind it.

[tng150]

@sychophantt philisophy? My god, just hit dude. Just hit. You can't hit in the game thinking about all the shit you're told. When I'm hitting my best I don't even know what my stance looks like.

@sychophantt i would agree his swing needs work, but to say you hit better then him is pretty bold thing to say if you haven't seen him hit in games. Some people can hit the hell out of it in practice, but i know for a 100% fact this dude can stroke it. game or practice.
