Text | [Powhatan vs. Mutual 4/22/1874] Like most other amateurs they take heavy bats and strike with full force at swift pitching; and hence either strike under the ball or hit it with such force that they really deaden the blow. Swift pitching needs to be faced with a light bat, and a quick but not heavy stroke. Many are surprised to see how far some boys can hit a swiftly-pitched ball, the cause simply being that they have not the strength to hit it with such force as to deaden the reaction of the blow. |
