Hit the ball in front of home plate
Check out this fascinating data about contact point for MLB hitters. I’ve advocated for making contact just in front of home plate for best results, and now there’s some quantitative proof that this works. After you’ve mastered letting the ball “get deep”, begin working on how to make contact closer and closer to this optimal point for pitches you love to drive. As Alex Gordon is realizing, the better you get at making contact just in front of home plate, the more power you will hit for.
