The two-handed swing (or finish on the swing) looks so weird for KB. I do like it and hopefully it leads to more power.

I can't see it leading to more power, he's already at a 70 power so there isn't much room for growth there. It's going to change the bat angle as he'll finish on a more level than finishing higher. If he hits more line drives with a less uppercut swing, he should get more contact and hopefully the exit velo remains similar with expected less HRs but more 2Bs.

Yeah, I agree his true game power and raw power is a 70 grade (maybe an 80), but for whatever reason his power is down this season. You should hit for more power in theory with a two-handed swing from what I was taught, but I agree he should hit more line drives now with a less pronounced uppercut. The uppercut is what leads him to finish with a one-handed swing or one-and-half handed swing. It should allow him to go to the opposite field more often as well.
