I could always hit. I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.
I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency, mental strength and accuracy.
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
I had great control, I never missed hitting the other's fellow bat.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
When I was up there at the plate, my purpose was to get on base anyway I could, whether by hitting or by getting hit.
My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.
I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.
I always could hit, but fielding I had to work at. I took as much pride in fielding as hitting. I became a complete ballplayer. I knew when to take the extra base. I knew about the outfielder hitting the cutoff man. I knew when and how to bunt. I knew when to hit-and-run.
I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.
