A few years ago I was organizing a clinic with 5 former MLB players. With 2 strikes and a right handed hitter they eliminated the left field and in their mind created left center as the foul line. The good hitters do not change their stance. They have already determine the pattern of the pitcher. "Do not stand in the hole dug by the previous RH hitter".
During a clinic, I ask Joe Rudi the reason for his RBI success. Joe said " when Reggie
was at bat, I prayed he would walk so I could hit"!
RBI hitting takes a different mentally.
