It’s fitting this time of year to give a shout out to the people who believed in you! Having done the job, I know how hard it really is! Thank you @FWPCarmine for taking a shot on kid from @WIUBaseball many moons ago! Good luck to all my friends in the upcoming MLB draft!

Tony Gwynn career 4-hit games: 45

Tony Gwynn career multi-strikeout games: 34

It's an all-or-nothing era of hitting, but the art of putting the bat on the ball is still a beautiful one.

[Jeff Leach @CoachJeffLeach]

‘04 ALCS on ESPN. Manny rolls over a fastball “in the heart of the plate” for a single w/a slappy handsy looking swing. It’s easy to pull up swing GIF’s & convince yourself that every swing a guy of his talents made was perfect, despite the common sense absurdity of that thought.

Christian Yelich - Launch Angle - “ Guys are throwing 4 seem fastballs at 100 mph right here, it’s just not gonna work.” Great watch! @ChristianYelich #truehittingguru #MLB #MiLB #hitting #listen #baseball
