What Is The Science Of Hitting?

I definitely didn't enjoy science classes growing up. I know that science can be important but I have to admit it seemed boring at times and just too technical. Then the term science of hitting came up and I began to wonder.

How could hitting be called a science? Well, I started to research it when I was a young player and was thankful that it had nothing to do with dissecting frogs.

Basically, this term more or less meant going into detail on all the proper hitting fundamentals one by one. Your stance, grip on the bat, improving power, patience at the plate and all the different parts of the strike zone and how to attack each pitch.

This really intrigued me so I began to study this science of hitting and I loved it. I wished there was a class on this at school but I wasn't so lucky. This meant I was on my own.

I remember one time in a bookstore my dad recommending we buy "The Science of Hitting" by Hall of Fame great Ted Williams but I scoffed at that idea and chose a different baseball hitting book. My book was great too and the author is now in the baseball Hall of Fame but if I could go back in time I would have chosen the Ted Williams book first.

The book is timeless and perfect for any age and skill level. It's cheap too! Check it out here.
