Reply to "Gary Ward's Hitting Approach"

I'm not a big fan, but the Ward approach is actually effective in college. Last year NMSU ranked at or near the top of the WAC in offensive production, and led the conference in HRs. The Aggies can hit a little. Of course they do play in a small park, and the ball really flies in the thin desert air. Problem is their best hitters don't get drafted high despite putting up great numbers. Billy Becher (2003-2004) led all of D1 in HRs for consecutive years, and then waited until the 22nd round. Their leading hitter last year, Scaperotta, had 23 HRs and went undrafted.
