Stay in your box, move closer to the plate, back away from the plate, choke up, winden your stance yotta yotta yotta, it's all BS. Go ask a professional hitting coach about all that garbage. They don't care if you do a cartwheel with two strikes. Your job is to make contact and make the defense make a play and give your team a chance. This ain't rocket science as this group of coaches may want you to believe. Bottom line is you have to be co__ortable as a hitter no matter the approach and these dudes look like corpses at the plate with two strikes.Quote:
