Posted By: <b>bobw</b><p>The front view is a follow through of batting righthanded. Look at the position of his hands on the bat. <br /><br /><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o186/bobw_photos/64tc131rhpsa8.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>From what I can tell it looks to me like his right hand is on top. Also, his position seems like a follow through at the end of a swing.
