In the words of Ted Williams one of the greatest hitters of all time,
"Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders."
That is why you must be ready for every at bat and make every pitch count. Base on a 5 year study of College Baseball Stats, here are the batting average of hitters based on Specific pitch counts.
As Ted Williams famously said, your mental approach to hitting is just as important as your physical skills.
