There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

A Switch Hitter Looks for 'That' Pitch
A switch hitter looks for 'that' pitch.
That certain one,
To bat a home run off of it.
Not to swing to foul or strike out.
But to prove his game played is legit.
With the hope that a home run,
Gets some cheering from a crowd...
Paying to have fun.
And the cheering done as the hitter runs,
Is prayed not to be the only one to come.
And in the dugout the hitter is welcomed,
As a hero.
Ending with a ceasing of cracked jokes.
And the spitting out of old bubble gum chewed!
As a new pack is passed...
While the players encourage the next at bat!

I was a lousy hitter in May doing the same things that made me a great hitter in June.

I wonder why there is a designated hitter in baseball after all these years? As an experiment, it seemed like a swell enough idea, but you would think the novelty would have worn off by now and everyone would get back to playing baseball.
Every year I try to keep in excellent shape and improve some part of my game. I play in the offseason overseas to keep my game tuned up and hopefully improve a little in some area.
The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work to make it work

Work work work to make it work push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along

Don't confine your dreams to bed
You'll get scared if you get lazy
If you can't take enough to satisfy yourself
Then you'll go crazy
Wont do no good thinking

So it don't come easy the first time
Practice makes perfect, you know that i'll try hard
Use it or lose it
You got to put your heart and soul into it

Help your self to one that you can't deal with
Ain't no way that you could steal it
You misunderstand if you get greedy forget wishful thinking
You can do it
You just need a push to make a start
If you don't succeed the first time
Try and try again
Use it or lose it
You got to put your back into it
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to move it
Push it along

There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.

B. S. U. R.
Shes been holding on too long
Hoping Im gonna change
Giving it up just a little bit more
Each time I come home
Looking and acting strange
Putting her down for putting up with me
(chorus)
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Be as you are
As you see as I am I am
Do you think you might improve me
Trying to take control
Watching every little thing I do
Just like a bleeding movie
Just like a leading role
Mama, this aint me and I dont
Believe thats you
- chorus -
First you make believe
I believe the things
That you make believe
And Im bound to let you down
Then its I who have been deceiving
Purposely misleading
And all along you believed in me
So we circle around one another
Playing I guessing game
Strangers at this masquerade
Pretending to know each other
We strain to catch a name
And never see the mistakes we must have made
- chorus -
