My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hitting is an art, but not an exact science.
Some batters, and good ones too, scoff at the whole theory of place hitting, calling it a myth. They are wrong, however.
Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
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.
See the ball; hit the ball.
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.
Place hitting is, in a sense, glorified bunting. I only take a half swing at the ball, and the weight of the bat rather than my swing is what drives it.
I watch the ball fiercely to see its height and speed off my opponent's racket so I can decide how I want to hit it.
Hitting is not an exact science.
In football, you're hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.
