Ultimate Workout for Young Hitters

That is quite amazing... as well as completely counter-intuitive. No hitting drills? A relatively low workload? But results are difficult to be argued with.

Thanks for pointing this out, I am going to play around with this now.

As stated somewhere in that thread (i think), if you have a heavy workout program you might improve faster but it will also cause your skills to decline at an earlier age because of all the wear and tear you put on your body through the years.

When I tried it, it seemed to just not improve at all...

Does anyone know how do I improve my eye? And does batting practice do anything?

[Powerguy]

How long have you been doing it and how old was your player?

I think batting practice helps the contact rating's development go a little faster.

He was 18, I just started. But I do not think I got out of my first season before I found this thread and started playing with this workout.

Patience my son.

I've been using this workout for about 2 years and my player Jesse Radin, an 80-30-50-50 is now 80-30-50-60... i added additional batting practice on friday evening to see if i can get the contact up..

My player is only 34, became a member of the 500 homer club when he was 31. he has only been hiitng 25-30 hr a year since he hit 60 (same year he became in the 500 homr club). his contact, power and gap was 100, and his eye a 70. eye only went up once, when he was 28. now he's 46 (100), 32 (100), 57 (100), and 62 (100). All this happened in one year! he hit 7 hr's in the first month, and then 3 for the rest of the year. What the #$^& happened?

[mauboy]

He got old.

[Rossi]

yup, i hit 35 homeruns with oakland which left me 19 HR's behind Mr Aaron, next season my stats dropped dramatically and i only hit 8, retired 11 off the record

That stinks, I was once the most saught after player, and this year, i went for a contract extention, and was told that i'm not an important part of the team. Well, I guess i should have made my 27 mil a 3 yr insted of a 2 yr contract. Now I cant use the bat Wonderboy, I have to use a rookie bat. That's how low my ratings dropped!
