Great info. You don’t have to list all 40, but of the popular swings that you have heard, who have you tested? I’ve heard a lot about how chipper has a good swing. I use Kenny lofton. Mondesi is popular. Brian Roberts swing was nice for me early on. Tony Gwynn. Didi’s swing is very quick. I like Deitrich’s too. I’m sure there is more, but of those guys and any other popular swings did you test any?

First, I know I need to test Mondesi, but I kind of just didn't want to. He rakes but I also wanted more loft than I feel he gets. I'll do him next.

The other guys I considered except Brian Roberts, and I'll throw them all in. I was hoping to try to find guys who seem to have a natural launch angle without being popup-prone.

I went dumpster diving for you, and found a list with half my notes. The rest are probably lying around here somewhere.

From these notes, I did:

Moncada, Buxton, Moustakas, Jones '08, Canha, Haniger, Hicks, Pederson, Suarez, La Stella, E. Davis, Brett, Alonso, Blackmon, T. Williams

I'll try to add more later. If I recall, these were the guys I picked first because I went through my stats and looked for outliers.

After this batch, I started just going through the lists (Legends, Current Players), and throwing in guys who've been known to seem glitchy this year, or in the recent past if their card isn't out yet this year.

Solid list. Great info. Another person that may fit your criteria with more lift in his swing and seemed kind of glitchy early on was Muncy. Looking forward to seeing future results!
