The ingrained refrain of almost all hitters, from Little League to MLB, is “if it’s good enough to be called a strike, it’s good enough to hit”, one of many untruths we are taught as children. That ultimately leads to hitters chasing, especially at the MLB level. Schwarber above spoke a truth that most hitters never comprehend. Hope it’s attended to by all of the Cub hitters.
