Justme,

Perhaps using an analogy of the Fosbury flop in the high jump would help.

Dick Fosbury was the first person to try the high jump in this manner but over time, people tried using different approaches and arms techniques in conjunction with the new technique. However, it is still called the Fosbury Flop.

And just like the flop took some time to be accepted in the track and field circles, I think the GDS stance will have the same problem within the baseball circles. Especially with the (perceived or real) obstructed strikezone issue.

Anyway if the biggest problem we have is that you think I should change the name of the stance, so be it.
