I am interested in helping my 13 year old to develop the muscle groups needed to improve his hitting. I often hear that people like Sosa and MacGuire are so strong that even when they are not swinging well they can actually "muscle" the ball out of the infield and beyond. On which groups should my son concentrate? I'm assuming that lower body strength is important. Thanks.
