The UGLY Truth About Hitting Ground-Balls: How To Choose

The UGLY Truth About Hitting Ground-Balls: How To Choose Baseball Hitting Drills For Kids

"If you're 10 years old and your coach tells you to get on top of the ball...tell him NO." - Josh Donaldson, 2015 AL MVP, 3-Time All-Star, Toronto Blue Jays "I do have a little bit of lift to my swing. Everybody swings different. When I get my best swing off, it's a line drive or it's in the air. If it's on the ground, it's not my best swing." - Nolan Arenado, 2-Time All-Star, Colorado Rockies Primarily Teaching Baseball Hitting Drills For Kids To Hit Ground Balls Is Idiotic & DOES NOT Make Sense The objective of this book is to guide coaches in picking â€œeffectiveâ€ drills to help kids get the ball in the air. In other words, this book will teach you HOW TO fish. CAUTION: this is a RANT to end all rants, REVEALING the ugly truth about teaching hitters to consistently hit ground-balls. You're in for a wild ride, so please proceed with cautionâ€¦ This book addresses the following objectives coming from pro ground-ball hitting coaches: â€¢ How many games they've won with grounders, â€¢ How fielding percentage is way lower than fly-balls, â€¢ That it's much easier to catch a fly ball, â€¢ How great outfielders track fly balls, â€¢ How more can go wrong with the defense keeping the ball on the ground (canâ€™t get a bad hop in the air!), â€¢ If their team hit more grounders, then they'd score more runs, â€¢ How some of the most winningest coaches in college baseball history, Gordie Gillespie and Augie Garrido as examples, stress keeping the ball on the ground to their hitters, â€¢ How you HAVE TO TEACH a 5'6", 135-pound High School hitter to hit the ball on the ground because his batted ball distance maxes out at 250-feet! And, â€¢ How even pro coaches and "great hitting instructors" never promote hitting fly-balls. By the end of this ground-ball RANT, youâ€™ll either be convinced getting the ball in the air is the most effective way to score runs (line drives are balls in the air by the way), OR youâ€™re being willfully ignorant, in which case, thereâ€™s NO hope for you. What I do know for sure is, youâ€™ll continue to get beat on the ball field. DO NOT read this book if you believe great hitters cannot be made, and are just born. ENJOY!
