Following the momentum of his swing, Gwynn rotates his upperbody to his right. Looking forward, Gwynn holds the bat with both hands, chest height on the right side of his body, parallel to the ground. Visible to the right of Gwynn is the mitt of the catcher who is positioned behind him. Captured in-game, an occupied stadium and dugout can be seen in the background.
