Wharton (FL) HS 3B/SS Tucker Nieuhaus had
a very disappointing spring due to multiple injuries.
Great story on Stanford CF Austin Wilson:
It’s a page out of The Book of
Hitting by Manny Ramirez — the slugger used to take pitches in batting
practice, even — but it was a great piece of practice for Wilson, and it was a
no-brainer for him. “I knew I had to somehow keep my baseball skills up, so I
stood in on bullpens,” he said with what was almost a shrug. It was “about the
eye, and see the spinning on pitches, and obviously breaking balls are a
component of that. That helped me read pitches better.” Wilson’s strikeout rate
shrunk down all the way to 13.1% this year. - LINK
