Goold post on Walker making significant changes

[An Old Friend]

Walker would do well to study videos of George Hendrick.
Hendrick had a flat quick swing and a closed batting stance.
It allowed him to cover the outside edge and drive balls with authority.
And he was quick enough with his hands to turn on balls in the middle of the zone - or pull his hands in and let his short level swing pull the ball.
This is EXACTLY what Walker needs to do.
He naturally makes hard contact, so he does not need to cheat on inside pitches - and yet that is exactly what he does.
And because is too often looking middle in with his overly open stance, it leaves him susceptible to every pitch which breaks away.
In other words, Walker does the precise opposite of what he should be doing - and is doing so at the urging of the Cardinals.
The best thing that could happen for him is to be traded to an organization with competent coaches.

Good post Melville.

Giancarlo Stanton is also a guy he should study. The closed stance he has used for nearly a decade helped him get to those outside pitches that Walker has shown extreme susceptibility to.

Excellent point.

You must have seen Hendrick play.
Anyone who did can see the similarity between the two players - build, swing, hard contact, etc.
By the way, Hendrick struggles badly his first 2 seasons playing MLB ball at age 21 and 22.
Oakland traded him after he hit .185/.206/.306.
With that change of scenery - and a new coaching staff - he broke out.
George played 18 years and only reached 25 HR twice.
But he went to 4 ASG.
Walker should learn from that.

Hendrick started closed and stayed closed on everything except the inside strike. Then he was mostly neutral. He practically hit against a stiff front leg post and went opposite field often.
It's an interesting comparison and has it merits. I doubt it is an approach that will be taught or trained for anytime soon and just as important any player adopting a practice that decreases the HR potential.
Not debating right or wrong but do you see a player embracing that approach?

Walkers stance starts open. Doesn't necessarily stay
His most often landing spot is neutral. An issue of inconsistency. Too much movement for a strong man not needing it, JMO, he lost balance and consistency.
Load, stay short. Balance will decrease his chasing of the outside off the plate

Everyone here thinks we have an answer. Mine is as much garbage as anyone here, perhaps more. There are skills in the guy. He hits despite low confidence, poor balance and very little buy in to a process.
That's where it starts or may sadly end for him and the team for he could be a difference maker.

Giancarlo Stanton is an example of a hitter on the taller side who went towards more of a closed stance. He chops with his swing like he's swinging an axe at a tree, able to turn his hands over and still slice a home run to RF.

I do agree Walker appears too open, especially when you see him finish with that upper-cut, back knee dropped and hips open on a pitch away. He has the size and strength to send balls out the other way without doing all of that.

What a revelation by JW and driveline…..loose and relaxed at plate until ready to explode through ball….amazing cutting edge never seen before teachings

Guess one is either a fan or not Goldfan. What are you?

Who are you. Who. Who. I really want to know.

Just a fan, SB, who gets tired of another fan constantly bashing the Cardinals at every turn.

Cranny’s fan obligation
To praise every move by the owner, FO, manager and players.
Demonstrated by Cranny himself backing, trumpeting, and skewering ANY poster who dare have a difference of opinion with the last FO as they ran the great Cards organization in to ground…..to the point where its in total rebuild now with winning years off in the distance.
So who is the fool??
The blind ownership homer
Or the fan who saw the obvious downfall and wrote about it

Goldfan - When the Cards do something good, I laud it. When they do something that doesn’t make sense, I call them out for it. That’s a far cry from the constant bashing you do.

BDW is considering a contract extension for Oli…..now why would I write here supporting a stupid move like that.
JW has regressed to the point of needing to show for a full AAA season that he can dominate. But instead we’re being fed propaganda stories through Goold that a great awakening has occurred and JW now knows not to stand at the plate like a statue…..so the team can convince fans that this guy showed be the staring lineup again in ‘26.
And for the records I just praised Bloom for being quick on the draw and trading Gray….so update your tally about “always bashing”…..

A lot of fans like to see players putting in the effort to improve, and insight into those efforts is often high interest.

I don't know why it bothers you so much when you see stories about players working to improve. It is odd, though... especially the way you bash other fans who appreciate the details of what they're working on.

Glad you’re giving Bloom a chance. The bashing of the Dewitts, Mo, Oli, etc. was so very redundant and monotonous.

Walker needs to start and stay at AAA in ‘26. He can work on his muscles there. I’m tired of these experimentations on non-existent personal progress at the ML level. Find some players who have already discovered their inner muscle control and play ball at the ML level.
How did that offseason Carp hot yoga and best condition of his life work out??
How did that speed swing vid you were so impressed with work out with Noot??
Marginal players getting the offseason Goold propaganda piece does no service for the fans.
Really…. a ML player finally found out after 3 seasons of being a DOG that he shouldn’t stand up there like statue and he needs to relax his muscles??

[redbirdfan51]

Absolutely ditch the open stance and go to a more closed stance and maybe even try a little crouch. Pitch selection is also very critical.
