"One thing I disagree with, you will never reach your swing potential without maximizing your athlete ability."

As ESPN baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian always says "Baseball is a skill sport not an athletic sport."

Being strong or in shape is nice and can make it easier to get through the season but it doesn't directly improve performance on the field. Plenty of guys in the Major Leagues who aren't in optimal shape but still put up all-star numbers. The reason they can do this is because they have the skills.
