Isn't there? As I understand it, MiLB has banned it, "relaxed" or otherwise. Do you suppose that was whimsy on their part? Arbitrary exercise of authority?
As for Wendelstedt's stance being "relaxed," I noticed that as well. For my part, a primary goal of a plate stance is to get my head in position to call the pitch. If the "relaxed" scissors raises my head (to eliminate neck strain), then it risks taking me out of position. Although I might be able to achieve some equilibrium point where my neck is not too strained and I'm not too out of position, this stance does not work for me.
Others, naturally, will do as they see fit.
