Hey guys, Alex Rodriguez here
We are back with Episode 12 of A-Rod Academy! In this episode, I'm reacting to a few situational hitting scenarios and breaking down exactly how to read each game situation and decide what approach to use to give your team the best chance to win.
Situational hitting is one of the most misunderstood and underutilized skills in baseball today. Any hitter can swing hard, but the great ones know when to swing hard and most importantly, how to drive in runs. That mental edge and ability to drive in runs is what separates good hitters from elite hitters, and that's exactly what I'm walking you through today.
I react to a handful of real in-game scenarios and break down my full thought process from reading the defense, the count, and the scoreboard, to understanding alessandro bastoni what the pitcher is trying to do. Whether you're a youth baseball player, high school player, college player, or a parent helping your child develop their baseball IQ, this episode will change the way you think about your time in the batter's box.
In this video, I cover:
How to read game situations before you cucciolo step into the box
Why manufacturing RBIs is a skill, and not luck, and how to develop the ability to drive in runs consistently
The importance of batting average and why it's still one of the best indicators of a hitter's value
Why taking the same swing in every at-bat is holding you back
How to use the entire field and use your strengths based on the situation
The mental framework I used throughout my MLB career to stay locked in for each play
The best hitters in the world aren't just reacting they're thinking two steps ahead. Let me show you how.
