Many ball fans wonder why college
baseball stars many times fall down
y,f< 1I,
ers. George SisIer, first baseman of
the Browns, recently took the stand
that a god batter in college should
not experience any trouble in fathom-
ing the delivery of major league
pitchers: Said Sisler-
"Of course there is more head
work among the pitchers of the
major leagues and they play your
weaknesses mIre than it is posi-
BILE to do in college baseball"
said Sisler, "but if a college play
er has a naturally quick eye and
the confidence to stand up at the
plate, I think that he doesn't find
it too difficult to hit successfully
in the big leagues.
"In college baseball the oppos-
ing pitchers and coaches do not
study a batter's weakness as they
do in the big leagues. and the fact
that you face a team only once
or twice in the course of a season
makes this unnecessary. But az
ter a player is in the big leagues
for several months or so, the OPP
posing teams have his failings
pretty we'll charted and naturally
the opposing pitchers play to these
weaknesses.
.sThe thing that impressed me
soon after I had broken into the
lineup Of the Browns was the
similarity between pitching in the
big legaues and that to which L
had been accustomed at the I'm
iyersity of, Michigan. The mysti-
flying delivery and the amazing
curves that had anticipated new
er materialized. The trouble with
many college players who are
given trialsSby major league teams
is that they often lack the nee
essary confidence
