We focus the entire episode on pitch selection, from the hitter's perspective.  Steve Hacker, former college baseball All-American and professional hitter with the Braves and Twins organizations, is our guest once again.  This is a great interview, full of information that coaches can directly apply to help their hitters improve.  Steve emphasizes the importance for hitters to be aggressive on pitches they can hit hard, and to have the discipline to lay off pitches they cannot hit hard.   There is a lot of emphasis on the first 2-3 pitches of an at-bat.  The key message for hitters is to be aggressive, especially early in the count when pitchers try to get ahead with a fastball.
