TELL US WHY TONY GWYNN WAS WRONG?

If the goal of hitting today is to strike out more, sacrifice batting average, move fewer runners

accept more misses in exchange for a few more home runs,

then maybe Tony Gwynn had it wrong

But what if the goal is to become a complete hitter?

A Hitter Who:

Hits for average

Strikes out less

Uses the entire field

Moves runners

Keeps the hands inside the baseball

And still drives the ball with authority

Then maybe Tony Gwynn had it right all along.

Maybe the hands-first approach wasn't so outdated after all.
