When it comes to hitting a baseball and a golfball for that matter technique beats strength every time. Anyone who has played either sport will know that.

You people are fricking retarded.

Technique beats size when the strong person has crappy technique.

But if two players have great technique yet one is a hell of a lot bigger and stronger, yeah it makes a big fricking difference.

And someone a few posts up said Altuve hit a 400 foot homerun today which proves technique > strength. What does that person have to say about Aaron Judge hitting a 496 foot homer this year? Is his technique just that much superior to Jose Altuve? Or do you think just maybe it's because he's 6'8" and 280 lbs?
