WHITESTONE, NY – Attention all Major League Baseball hitters, you need to get on the internet and order the 1980 book, The Art of Hitting .300 by Charley Lau and Alfred Glossbrenner. This rare publication will cure your swing from what these ANALytical geeks have created.
As of today there are only seven .300 hitters in the Major Leagues. That’s a combined seven in both the American and National Leagues. There were a total of nine batters who hit over .300 in 2023. In 2022, just 11 players hit . 300 or better. From 2010 to 2019, baseball averaged 22.1 . 300 hitters per season and never had fewer than 16.
The art of hitting .300 has been a lost cause, and the excuse that these so-called hitting gurus have used is, batting average doesn’t matter.
NOTE: Only Luis Aaraez is working on his 3rd consecutive .300 season, while Freddy Freeman joined him in 2022 & 2023. He’s at .287, so his chances at joining Aaraez for 3 consecutive seasons is unlikely.
These morons have actually brainwashed these executives, who negotiate players contracts into believing this theory. The idiotic executives reward these players with millions of extra dollars for something that is beyond failure. It’s bad enough that in a game that embraces a batter who fails 70% of the time, it now accepts one who flops 80%.
How many times are we going to see a sub .200 hitter in the starting lineup on a daily basis, because an ANALytic employee thinks it doesn’t matter? Why don’t the managers write out the lineup? Why is a sub .200 hitter not sent down to the minors to fine tune his swing?
Maybe it’s time to admit that today’s ball players simply suck! When one gets paid a mega-deal of over 100 million dollars and he can’t even produce a mediocre batting average, then it’s time to order a copy of, The Art of Hitting .300.
Drop your dimes below and come back tomorrow for Joltin’ Jacob Sternberg, President of the Mark Vientos Fan Club.
MANAGEMENT INSERT: Here’s a shameless plug for our partners in rugby. Have a gander.
