Watching you in the cage –
The way you know where to stand in the box
The way you sit in your crouch
The way you shift your weight to that back foot
The way your arms bend and your shoulders tense
The way your hands…….
Those got-damn hands hold the bat firmly with your bottom hand
But gently open with your fingers spread out then re-grip with your top hand
The way you move your upper body as you get ready to pull back and swing
The way your eyes stay focused on what’s coming
Then you swing and the weight shifts forward and backward at the same time in a lean
Then all the way around hitting the ball
The confidence that beams off of you
Then you wait for the next pitch, taking some practice swings again…..
Your skills are what I love watching.
