For baseball fans, perhaps only two things have remained constant in the past couple of months. One is the ongoing owner lockout in MLB and the other is the speculations on how much of a deal Carlos Correa wants for his new contract.

Former Houston Astros star shortstop and currently a free agent, Carlos Correa is probably the most in-form and in-demand player in the league. The 27-year-old superstar free agent has played a total of seven seasons for the Astros. And he has played a vital role in the Astors’ success in all those years.

Carlos Correa on his bat path and swing plane

Probably every baseball fan is aware of Correa’s hitting capability. His bat path and swing plane are a bit different from any other shortstops in the league. Recently, in a video, Correa was seen teaching his bat path and swing to baseball hitting coach John Peabody.

When Peabody asked Correa about his swinging technique and compared it with Chicago Cubs’ Chris Bryant’s style, the Puerto Rican said, “If more about swinging plane, I want to beat through for a long time, and not try to leave the ball.”
