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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
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.
I've never been a guy that's consistently hit home runs. It's always seemed to come, like, three or four in a week or two, and then I'll shut it down for a couple of weeks.
I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time.
You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation.
If you're not in the game, you can't hit a home run.
You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go.
I was afraid if I started to hit home runs, my average would drop.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
