I hear you and agree about having a plan in the box, but the 'plan' I was talking about was making practice swings count, ie, be working on something even when it's just you, the Bownet and pregame warmups.As a certified NON-guru, I don't know nearly as much about hitting as I'd like, but having a plan in the box is definitely something I'm a big fan of, and don't think enough coaches teach. "Hit ground balls and pray for errors" isn't a plan.
