Hitting is a pitch is 99% experience. If you've never seen it, you probably won't be able to hit it.About 10 years ago, in late January, the AAU used to host a world class men's FP tournament at the Disney complex in Orlando where Bichette lives. Somehow someone coaxed him out to give it a try. I saw a game of his there, he was facing Mike Piecknik, a left handed HoF pitcher from British Columbia that threw absolute gas. In the 2 AB's I saw of Bichette, he never fouled a ball off. Afterwards, while standing around having a beer talking about it, he said "I've hit HR's off Randy Johnson, Roger Clemons, etc. but I've never seen anything like that!!!" I don't think he came back the next day.
That story has nothing to do with his hitting techniques or anything, I just thought it was a cool anecdote to share.
