So I learned how to hit a baseball today.....great article about Rudy Jaramillo in ESPN The Mag - He's the hitting coach for the Cubs. According to him, this is all you need to do:
1) Establish a rhythm - stay loose before the pitcher releases the ball
2) See the ball out of the pitcher's hand
3) get separation - the hands go back and the front foot comes down
4) stay square - keep the front shoulder close and let the hips lead the swing
5) transfer weight back to front
That's it. Sounds simple. Now I can be a great hitter. I'm going to make a trip to the batting cage soon & see if I can do better than just foul off a couple of 70 mph pitches.
The big leagues & millions of dollars are right around the corner.
