"How you doing? This is going to be the basics of positioning your hands. Now we've already talked about creating a solid base with your legs. We've talked about grabbing the bat, now we want to talk about, is where do you want to put your hands. Should they be up here, should they be down here, where should they be. Well as with most things, it's more of a personal preference, where do you feel comfortable. Do you feel comfortable up here like Gary Sheffield, do you feel more comfortable having it down here, do you have it like this. The thing is, it's not all that important where you start when the pitcher, before the pitcher pitches the ball to you. It's just feeling it out, getting comfortable, getting ready for the pitch to come to you. Personally, I like mine right about here. It creates, it is very easy for me to get, all, through all of my motions, everything you need to do, before the pitch is on me. Basically, all I would do is step in the box, come in, right there, that's where my hands are at. That's all you basically need to do. Just find a position that's good for you. Like I said, some guys like it up here, some guys like it here, some guys like it here, like this. It doesn't really matter. It's all about your own personal preference when it comes to getting ready before the pitch. It's just the fact that you are ready when the pitcher is coming to you, is going to throw the ball to you. That is more the key and this was holding your hands in the correct position."
