No idea on his swing, but remember Brett has some pretty insane hot and cold streaks in the minors. Looks like it's carrying over to the majors. They did a side-by-side earlier in the game of his set-up and leg-kick compared to his debut game and today. Completely different. I can't be the only one that saw it. I saw it, you're not crazy.

I know Banedon is the only one that agrees with me, but I think it is faster to dive head first, since you immediately gain 6'. However I don't think the risk of injury outweighs the extra .01 second you gain. Nice play by Barney.
