Its in the game;
When we observe the high school player today
as compared to our years with Edmonds, Dimitri and Delmon Young, Torri Hunter and many others, I ask myself the questions.

Has any player ask his coach how to hit the "slider"? How to "read the bat", how to evaluate the hitter when pitching.

I recall, 4 years ago in Adelaide, South Australia, Delmon, age 15 was telling the two 18 year old hitters, exactly how the pitcher was going to pitch to them.

Research, study the great hitters or pitchers [read books], intelligence, focus and sensing
will provide a foundation for improvement.
