Bob: I think you've asked one of the most important questions in all of baseball. And as we've discussed, it's the No. 1 challenge for so many hitters.
In my quest to help JP, I've talked with, and come to believe in, Steve Springer's point of view. He's on a mission to help players answer this very question. Here's what he preaches as an approach:
- Walk up to the plate with confidence.
- Have an attainable goal to hit the ball hard.
- Attack the inside part of the baseball and hit it properly.
- Help your team win that day.
In the box, he says it's all about:
- Slow feet
- Fast hands
- Quiet head
Again ... easy to say; really hard to accomplish consistently.
You think he's close?
