The Party Is Out Front. Why Be Late?
"The Party Is Out Front. Why Be Late?" from our collaboration series with Philadelphia Phillies legend Charlie Manuel, "Charlie Knows Best."
"When you hit a baseball, the best swing that you can put on it is when you catch it out front where your bottom hand is extended, and your top hand drives through the baseball and gives power to it. This one is especially for people when they get up in the count: like first pitch, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 2-1, 3-1… I feel like this is a free swing for me, and I want the pitcher to throw it to my strength. If my strength is middle in, I’m looking for it middle in, and looking to hit it out front. Therefore, this “Why Be Late?” thing is what I ask guys." -Charlie Manuel
