Swing For the Fence - Ruin Your Mechanics


Posted by: Carlos M. () on Fri May 31 07:13:52 2002


"By initiating the bat properly with torque and rotational energy, the average tension free swing of the hitter carries plenty of bat speed to clear the fence in most any direction. His main concern is timing and getting the plane of his swing in line with the ball. If he is a little high on the ball, it will be a sizzling grounder. Hit it square and you have a frozen-rope to the gaps"



My question is this: should I be "swinging for the fence" every at-bat or not?


In the batter's box, should I be thinking "I'm swinging for the fence here!"? Or should I be thinking, "I'm going to get the plane of my swing in line with the ball and hit it as hard as I can- I don't care if I end up hitting a hard grounder, a frozen rope, or a bomb!"?

I'm just trying to get the mental part of my game straight.

Gracias!
