Text | [They] struck out, both timing the swing of their bats too slow for the pitcher, and holding their bats too close to the handle. Batsmen should remember that wrist play in handling the bat is very effective against swift pitching. Against the slows you can swing a long bat, but against swift balls a short swing, bringing the strength of the wrists into play, is the only effective style. |
