Mike Piazza

Mike Piazza showed an epoch-making hitting mechanics at the point of early 90's. He looked like merely standing in his batting stance and started the swing suddenly like an explosion. There seemed to be no load and weight sift at a glance, so it seemed to go against conventional hitting theories such as Charley Lau's it. The existence of that kind of hitting mechanics might cause the argument in which rotational mechanics and linear mechanics were compared.

Someone might say piazza's mechanics was that of no-stride, but in fact, his left foot used to be lifted and off the ground slightly. There is a significant difference between his stride mechanics and no-stride mechanics like Pujols' it. Mark McGwire had been employing the same stride mechanics as Piazza's it.

Here is the video including Piazza's home run that was hit off Curt Schilling - my most favorite home run in his career -. (from 0.40)
