Hitting Advantage
Good players always look for an edge.
Can there be an edge when hitting at the bottom of the order? Yes!
If you are a 5-hole or below hitter, you get 4 or more ‘mental’ at-bats your teammates don’t get.
Being in the dugout is a great opportunity for you to scout your opponent.
Timing, mannerisms, infield positioning are all things you can use to find an advantage.
As a player, ALWAYS look for an advantage. If you aren’t and your opponent is, your opponent has the edge.
