Congrats to Will Kelly, Cage Love, Will Parker, Ryan Matthews, and Patrick French on their plans to play at the next level. We are proud of all 5 of these seniors!
Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below.
Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.”
Make the pitcher work.
We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best.
A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure.
A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout.
