Many of today’s hitters are better because of better technique employed. If you or your hitters are not taking advantage of better techniques today or are resisting change, than you are missing the boat. The problem is that many of the improvements are subtle and most are not obvious enough to be understood by many.
If you disagree with the above, than I ask you to explain why baseball is so much different than say, basketball. Would anyone disagree that basketball has seen much change? Could you imagine seeing a player shoot like they used to with two hand push shots or many other old time basketball dribbling techniques?
I guess that is why some of us get a little frustrated with the many so called baseball people who we think would know better. We can’t understand why they still teach hitters the baseball equivalent of the two handed push shot.
