ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick did a nice article on the rising importantce of plate discipline. Atlanta Braves third baseman, Chipper Jones, provided a good definition:
“For me, plate discipline is being able to know what pitch you want to put in play before you step in the box and not swinging at anything else but that,” Jones says.
No fancy comments or analysis here, just thought I’d share this video. Always interesting to see how players prepare for action.
Giles looked good hitting some hard to right. Andruw really unloaded on a couple at the end. Chipper really was the most impressive hitting some shots over the left field fence.
