We have been hitting the ball real good. We try to approach the plate aggressively and hit the ball where it is thrown.

Both teams hit the ball very well, and I don't know if that's attributed to good hitting or not great pitching, probably a a little bit of both would be my guess.

I was always brought up to be patient at the plate. That's the approach I've always taken to hitting. That may be why he said that -- I take a lot of pitches. I might strike out 100 or however many times a year, but my walks to strikeouts about evens out.

If you're hitting .300, it means you're seeing the ball and getting a good pitch to hit.

She?s such a great ball striker, ... and if it?s in her hitting zone, she?s going to hit a winner almost every single time.

Here, the hitting coach said see the ball and hit it, and swing how you want to. That's what I'm doing now.
