Hit the ball on ground and not in air - CPM

Bregman batted in the bottom of the 5th with 2 men on. He took your advice and look where that got us.

:I

And while we're at it also hit the ball where fielders aren't


I hate many of our "knowledgeable" fans

In the normal world of baseball pitchers are taught to pitch to contact and get ground balls to limit pitch count etc. With the state of the bats, balls etc. We need to teach hitting grounds balls so that hopefully some can get through or put pressure on the defense to make mistakes. I can understand this if you are utilizing the hit and run or run and hit or bunting etc. but this is really out of whack. I also realize that when hitters get skewed toward either in the air or beating the ball in the ground you try to move them back toward the best option of line drives by asking them to do the opposite. Hopefully the new balls will make a difference??? Does anyone know if high schools are going to the lower seam ball?
