The funniest thing to me is how almost the exact same situation with a rightie just doesn't look as sweet. Think Dale Murphy. I was watching Condon this weekend. He doesn't have the low bat "Waggle" before getting set - but his stride and movement through the ball remind me of Murph's swing.
Good stuff and you're right, Bruns! Yeah you never hear say a righty with a sweet swing lol! There was one righty who i used to love watching his swing and I studied and that was Edgar Martinez. That dude had a great swing and he could rake. That Condon is a beast!
