HITTING is UNKNOWN
ART TO PITCHERS

1 am at all chesty about my hitting
don't believe there Is single
logical reason that can be offered
for the failure Of more pitchers to
be good hitters.
The big reason, OF course, is that
a lot Of pitchers take It for granted
that no one expects them to- hit.
Years ago It seems the pitchers es-
tablished a precedent, that they
should pitch and not try TO hit. Now
pitchers religiously follow that be-
lief.
Possibly that theory was estab-
lished because II was thought that
running around the bases tended to
weaken the pitcher. and thereby
lessen his effectiveness. Believing
suct. TO be the case, a great many
pitchers still continue to pitch, and
forget they ever have a time at bat
as far as results are concerned.
have never worked along those
lines Batting has always appealed
to me. I much prefer getting a hit
to striking out three men in row,
unless. OF course. striking out the
three men means the ball game.
have always felt that 1 was a
good hitter, and that 1 could in
crease my ability by constant prac-
tice. That is why / indulge in bat
ting practice whenever I get the
chance
II pitchers would get the idea they
could hit and that they were ex-
pected to hit. It wouldn't be long
before a lot Of them would be doing
that very thing.
Lack Of effort and confidence are
the two things that make most
pitchers a joke so far as hitting is
concerned.
