Do you think Tony Gwynn was thinking do damage every time? Is he one of your exceptions?
I have played a lot of ball. When I went up to do damage, I didn't do well, when I went up to hit a base hit, I often hit a HR.
Once again I love Josh Donaldson, but do damage Josh or Tony Gwynn and I would rather be Tony.
Hey this guy hits .230 but got 40 HRs. Or hey this guy hit 20 HRs but hits .305. Who would you choose? Or who would you choose if it was the playoffs?
Being able to commit later negates the need to adjust like the down to guys. "Down to" adjusts because he has to start his swing early while the TTB haven't launched yet.Bobby,
One player planes "turns". the barrel real early in the launch with the hands. Then turns into the pitch. Their path is set early and once the turn starts they are committed to that path.
Second player doesn't plane the pitch until their hands have crossed the COM. The player still has the ability to actually use their hands to make adjustments. HOF Down to approach.
Donaldson has said it himself. "The hands are done". So if the hands are done are you going to adjust with posture, tilt, etc. Good luck with that. haha. However, this method does work. But it doesn't lead to real high BA and all other numbers. Once again I love some JD. But If I had to pick JD over Trout to teach me to hit... Well you chose.
You have got Cruz who has hit more homers than anyone over the last decade and the best player of this current generation (Trout) and both of those guys preach down to. Why is everybody so hell bent to prove (those HOFers) don't know what they are doing\talking about. I just don't get it. You would think they had the formula to Coke. And just to keep the Coke formula secret, they are giving out disinformation.
They are telling you exactly what they are doing. But is is still hard as hell to hit a round ball with a round bat. You can try the shortcuts, Tewks, TM and do them to your hearts content. They will give you success, but they are not and never will be what the best do.
Right there with you, and I've said the same thing many times. Hit the ball hard off the good part of the bat, thinking HR got me in trouble, a lot.Do you think Tony Gwynn was thinking do damage every time? Is he one of your exceptions?

Striking out was seen as “the ultimate failure” in that generation of hitters. That definitely has changed with today’s hitters. Not judging which is better, just a statement of observation.You do see that often, the pandemic of hitters hitting between .220 to .240 and hitting 20 to 40 HRs.
Tony Gwynn, Pete Rose, and hitters like them, like Carew, had different approaches then our. .220 20 Hrs hitters.
