Such a humble dream right? But where most batters dream of hitting the ball at the pace of a bullet, most fail. The reason? Wrong techniques. Don’t worry if you are not able to hit it rightly.

This morning, a high school friend posted a baseball-related question on Facebook that lit a flame in me. I struggled to keep up with my words as my narrative voice hit cruise-control mode.
