That is the indespensible element behind the big shots.

Both at bat and running down grounders.


What I said was Altuve hits for power, homeruns, amd amazing how he does it a 5"6, most 5"6 players dont even make the pros.

Ted Williams, probably the greatest hitter of all time was said to be able to see the seams on the ball as the pitch was delivered
. So he could tell by the spin of the ball what pitch was coming and could make the decision to swing all in a split second. 99.99 of major leaguers cant.

Babe Ruth reportedly had 20/5 vision, which is freakish.

Not all hitters have good instincts, there are guys in MLB who bat .230, but when they guess right can hit it 600 feet.

great contact hitters have a better feel and know how pitchers think. They have to or else theyd be hitting .230
