Therein lies the crux of good hitting, you can be fundamentally rock solid, but fundamentals without rhythm will get you nowhere.

TIMING AND RHYTHM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HITTING!

My advice to you, hit more! Remember the quote from Teddy Ballgame after his career was over…when asked by a reporter if he could do it all over again, what would he do differently, his reply, "I'd hit more!"
