    Other than single at bat moments, I use normal swing nearly 100% of the time. Once in a while in a 3-0 or 3-1 count I may power swing at something right down the middle. Power swing shrinks your PCI quite a bit and I need all the help I can get in that department. Normal swing generates plenty of power IMO.

    I'll power swing in 2-0 or 3-0 counts. Especially with my better hitters.

    I rarely power swing but have found the contact swing to be useful in 2 strike counts.

    Mostly normal, unless doing moments that require XBH with guys with no power or speed, like Crawford/Hernandez etc..

    Normal swing on every instant except for when it’s 3-0 and I’m taking or in certain 3-1 situations. That’s when I’ll power swing. I contact swing on 0-2 and 1-2 or if there’s a man on third, with two outs, and I need to drive him in. I also contact swing when I’m not hitting the ball well after a couple innings and just need to get the offense going.

    Power swing. I’d rather be out than get a single honestly. It’s not like you’re actually going to be able to drive him in without a dinger so I only swing for dingers to begin with. Dingers for days. Dingers always bro.

    I try to power swing when I'm in a hitter's count and I'm looking to do damage. Honestly if check swings weren't so easy with X swings I would probably be power swinging a majority of the tine early in counts because I'd rather swing and miss than make weak contact with <2 strikes

    Big facts this year. At least a run or 2 a game ..Runner on.3rd and less than 2 outs and a 50 vision 70 contact type of bat is getting that contact swing.

    I've found some cards hit better using power swing than normal swing. Jackie Robinson and Minnie Minoso being the 2 I use power swing the most.
