batting stance

A batting stance is the position a baseball player assumes before each pitch, providing a stable and balanced posture for hitting. It involves positioning the feet, adjusting the grip on the bat, and aligning the body to optimize control and power. The stance varies between players based on style and comfort but generally aims to promote consistency, quickness to react to different pitches, and efficient transfer of energy during the swing. A good stance helps a hitter stay balanced, see the ball well, and respond effectively to a variety of pitches.
