6 E ddie Stanky deserves some credit for my understanding of the mental side of baseball.
Analysis is an important part of baseball.
By moving up in the batter's box, they had a better shot at connecting with the pitch before it could break out of the hitting zone. I'm always evaluating a hitter's stance for more information. There's more to pitching than just heading out to the mound and throwing strikes. It's up to a pitcher to discover and exploit a hitter's flaws. All this information is filed away in my memory, ready and waiting to be put to the test of competition.
