Ok, here's a fun non-home run story.
My son had some power in high school but was a pitcher-only on his travel team and is a pitcher-only in college.
However, he retained formidable batting practice power.
One night before a collegiate summer league game, his coach let the pitchers take batting practice.
My son put on a five o'clock fireworks display for the ages, launching rockets over the right field fence, over the little hill beyond the fence and over the fence at the top of the little hill. The visiting team made no attempt to conceal their shock and awe.
Fast forward to the bottom of the ninth. Runners at first and third with one out in a tie game. The bench is depleted, and the coach decides to put my son in as a pinch hitter, hoping to get past this hole in the lineup without killing the scoring opportunity.
The visiting coaches had seen the power demonstration but did not know my son hadn't seen anything but batting practice for three years and was totally unprepared to make contact against live pitching.
Son stands in the box. Flexes muscles. Gazes at distant horizon.
Visiting coach calls for an intentional walk.
Next batter hits a sac fly to win it.
