Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Letter from player

Posted by: Jesse () on Sat May 1 23:09:04 2004

I wrote a letter to Dodgers' minor leaguer Andy LaRoche (a SS/2B who, for those who don't know, is LA's 7th best prospect) about a variety of subjects, and in his reply, he said in High School he used to swing a weighted bat, then swing a fungo bat to improve his bat speed. I'm aware of the weighted-bat phenomenon and how it's misleading, but I'd like to get your opinions on this suggestion.
