Hi Fellas,

Agree with both posts. THT should be applied for every pitch up until you decide not to swing or adjust, in my opinion. Also, I think most people would agree hitters feel more locked in when they're driving the ball to the oppo gap. That shows good early batspeed which is characterized by THT and letting the ball get deep. And you have to get your pitch and be count-specific too, looking for mistakes to drive and varying your pitch selection along with the count. I don't believe in altering your swing with two strikes unless it's to foul off something nasty. You're entitled to 3 good hacks!
