Looking at bo's spray chart, its better than i thought. High batting average is easy when you stay back and slap the ball other way. But if you are pulling, then you are recogniziing the spin, meeting the ball out in front, bat stays through the zone a long time, and youll drive a lot more gaps.
I dont believe in things like choking up with 2 stirkes or selling out for contact (by staying back), shortening up the swing or any of that other dated stuff. But I am impressed if hes aggressive, starting the load soon, keeping the bat in the zone, and driving the ball with his legs and hips while still making consistent contact. Thats impressive.
