A stance taken in baseball when the batter is up to bat. This stance involves holding the bat with two hands and drawing the hands back, as the batter prepares to swing. The bat can be held up and back or parallel to the batter. Occasionally the batter will also lift a foot off the ground.

This stance can be performed with or without a baseball bat.
