I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.

The easiest way around the bases is with one swing of the bat.

And, you know, you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it, some love you've got to put into this work.

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.

The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go.

The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.

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.

Swinging first and swinging to kill is all that matters now.

A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
