Gantry. I believe you use this. Does it really work--anyone else use it?
I don't use the retreat, but with Mookie Wilson I always stand at the back of the box. This move is known as "Mookie Stance" and is highly effective when using Mookie. Results may vary with other players.
That's a good point. I've had success in the back of the box with the Astros.
Token straight pitch disclaimer, but I use the retreat for virtually all my ABs. I'll sometimes use the Tettleton with righties, but only about 5-6 ABs per game. Everything else is all retreat...
Same here, I think 'the retreat' (never called it that before) provides the batter with a major advantage. It gives you added time to decide where the pitch is headed, whether or not it is a sinker, and allows you time the hit more perfectly because you know the speed of the pitch. I'm normally all over the box, but prefer the bottom the most.
