Barrel the ball. The most obvious, yet most overlooked aspect of hitting. Mechanics are great. Having a plan is great. Bat speed is great. Launch angle is great. Hand-eye coordination (barrel the ball) is by far the most important ability a hitter can possess
HITTERS: Your top focus to become a great hitter is to simply barrel the baseball. Once you can do that consistently- regardless if that's in the air, on the ground, or on a line- you'll be able to learn how to drive the ball and do damage because you have the hardest part down.
