When It Comes to Hitting, Colin Moran Uses Essential Approach

Posted Apr 14, 2011
There are probably more theories about how to hit a moving baseball than there are blades of grass in a stadium. But Colin Moran, a freshman at North Carolina, uses an approach that strips everything to its essence. “I just try to hit the ball into the gaps, hit the ball hard and hopefully they don’t catch it,” he said. “I think I have a pretty decent idea when I go up to the plate. I try not to get myself out.” (The ACC)
