Some things to ponder...

• Why do we teach hitters to hit the "top-half" of the ball - when PITCHERS are taught to get hitters to HIT the "top-half" of the ball? Does this make sense? Hitters should be doing the exact OPPOSITE of what the pitchers want them to do!

• 60 years ago Ted Williams said, "The hips lead the way." Why do we think this hitting concept has changed down through the years? Why do we think we're SMARTER than the the "World's Greatest Hitter?"

• 60 years ago Ted Williams said, "The hitter must swing level to the ball - not level to the ground." Again, why do we think we're smarter and know more than the the "World's Greatest Hitter?"

• Pitching coaches teach pitchers to THROW ground balls. So, why do hitting coaches teach hitters to HIT ground balls?

• Why do we teach the "level" swing? How does a hitter swing "level" at a pitch at the knees? In fact, how does a hitter hit ANY low pitch without dipping the rear shoulder?

• Why do coaches instruct hitters to swing with "level" shoulders and "stay back" AT THE SAME TIME?

• Why do coaches tell hitters to "stay in inside the ball" and then in the very next breath, tell them "hands to the ball?" How does a hitter do that?

• Why do coaches teach hitters "hands TO the ball," then - in the very next breath - tell them to stay "INSIDE" the ball?
