Yep...you don’t see batters choking up on the bat with two strikes and trying to make contact. Then again, you don’t see as many batters trying to hit to the opposite field any more.
When bats were thick, long and heavy, choking up made sense. It’s less useful now because the bats are slim and light, and usually made of maple instead of ash, with some even made of birch.
I have always preached to my sons, keep your eye on the ball and make contact and swing level you will get hits. Swinging for the fences usually produces K’s for the pitcher rather than the home run. I loved to watch Pete Rose make contact, get a single and turn it into a double or a double into a triple with extra hustle.
The major leagues have too many teams and not enough real talent to go around and they don’t play for the game but the almighty $$$. I stopped watching in 94 when they went on strike and destroyed the World Series.
