How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.
You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation.
I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.
When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
I'm not executing my pitches. I'm not commanding my fastball, and I get behind in the count. When I try to throw strikes, I'm getting hurt. That's not the way I pitch.
I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go.
I wouldn't describe myself as a home run hitter. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard in the gaps. Just backspinning baseballs and hitting line drives.
