This is mostly an excuse to share three really cool gifs I found (care of @Kazuto_Yamazaki), but I’m sure you’ll pardon me for doing so as we look at the development of Anthony Rizzo‘s dangerous swing:

The 2013 is slowed down a bit, and the 2014 gif is shot at a slightly different angle, but in each shot, it looks like Rizzo has the same lower body stance.
