“Honestly, I think it would’ve been tough for Ruth to succeed against that,
” said Kevin Long, the Yankees’ hitting instructor. “I see too much
movement in his stride, he’s hitting off his front foot. That’s OK only if
you’re sitting on an 80-mph fastball or waiting on a curveball that only
breaks on two [up and down] planes.
“Hitters today have to be more centered because pitching has changed
radically. The ball moves in so many different directions now. There isn’t
time for all the movement Ruth had in his swing.”
洋基打教Kevin Long: 老实说我觉得Ruth很难成功 跨步动作太大 用前脚打击
打90mph慢速球货是小曲球是没问题啦
现在打者不能乱动因为投球已经完全不同了 球有各种不同的变化
Ruth的大动作会跟不上
Ruth was indeed a front-foot hitter, Long is correct about that. But Davey
Johnson disagrees that such an unorthodox approach would’ve necessarily
doomed the Babe.
“Anyone who thinks [front-foot hitting] would’ve made it tougher for Ruth
today doesn’t understand that the principles of hitting are the same today
as they were in Ruth’s time,” Johnson said. “Look at [Hank] Aaron, who was
very successful hitting off his front foot. Look at [Roberto] Clemente. Same
thing.”
国民教头Davey Johnson: 会说前脚打击不易成功的不了解打击在以前和现在是相同的
看看Hank Aaron成功的前脚打击 Roberto Clemente也是
