Outstanding explanation by Don Mattingly on why practicing “Launch angle” is a mistake. Forget the dime store hitting gurus and their self-absorbed “technique” - You’ll learn more about hitting in this clip from Donnie Baseball. Fryedaddy/Frito Howard Johnson Wes C Clint Hurdle

@XPLRbaseball @shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 Great interview

@shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 Talk about great, Larry, you were always the kind of player one hated unless you were played for our team. Then you were the best. You were a true competitor on the field and there is really no higher bar for praise. Fantastic to hear from you. 💪🏼

No shortcuts, no excuses—just pure determination. 💥 Are you ready to see who has what it takes? #SurvivingMann #NoLimits #NavySEALs #AmericanSheriff #SpecOps #LawEnforcement #TacticalTraining

@XPLRbaseball @shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 When Mattingly talks about hitting, you listen.

@XPLRbaseball @shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 Hey Donny! Did you discuss this with Blue Jays players last year? It didn’t seem like it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 Maybe the second spring it will finally sink in.

@XPLRbaseball @shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 Mattingly was a good enough hitter to know hitting is all about knowing the strike zone and swinging only at strikes.

@XPLRbaseball @Buster_ESPN @shegone03 @20Hojo @WesClements22 He's absolutely right! Not only does it lengthen your swing but it decreases the amount of time that you're bat is "in the hitting zone". It's a shame that batting .340 isn't considered as valuable a skill as batting .240 and hitting 25-30 home runs.
