When I stood up there as a pinch hitter, I honestly believed I was the best hitter in the game. That's the only attitude to have.
Manny Mota

There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived
Ted Williams

I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.
Pete Rose
Image
One game, one pitch can change everything for a hitter. The way I like to approach it is that every at-bat is its own unique opportunity to go out there and do something really good.
Anthony Rizzo
Image
I've always been a streaky hitter. For the most part, when my home runs come, they come in bunches.
Adrian Gonzalez
Image
A good lead-off hitter is a pain in the ass to pitchers.
Richie Ashburn
Image
The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they're taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.
Greg Maddux
Image
I used to think that if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the President or the Pope or as a 400 basball hitter. But now I would like to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody.
James Carville
Image
I wonder why there is a designated hitter in baseball after all these years? As an experiment, it seemed like a swell enough idea, but you would think the novelty would have worn off by now and everyone would get back to playing baseball.
Jay Mohr

I've never been a good hitter.
David Ross

People think the leadoff spot is a big deal. I tell people you're going to lead off the first inning, and after that, you can be a No. 4 hitter or No. 3 hitter.

The no-hitter was the highlight of my career. The specialness of it, I didn't know how lasting it would be when it happened. Everywhere I go, people talk about that game, how exciting it was. That makes me very proud. I'm awfully happy that a ball didn't bloop in somewhere.
Jim Abbott
Image
If I knew exactly what I know now and had it to do over, I'd be a switch hitter. No telling what I could have done.
Hank Aaron
Image
I give him (Frank Howard during April 28, 1968 two-hitter) shoulder, back, foot and the ball last, and Frank Howard commented, He threw everything at me but the ball.
Luis Tiant
Image
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Rick Wise

A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'
Ted Williams
Image
There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.
Ted Williams
Image
What is life, after all, but a challenge? And what better challenge can there be than the one between the pitcher and the hitter.
Warren Spahn
Image
Despite popular belief, hitting someone with a closed fist actually hurts the hitter almost as much as the hittee.
Ally Carter

One of the best ways to [improve my longevity] that is to minimize injury or avoid it by being more flexible—especially when we are meeting at the net. There is a hitter and blocker, which means a lot foot contact, where you can twist your ankle easily.
Karch Kiraly
Image
He's the strangest hitter in baseball. Figure him out one way and he'll kill you another.
Sandy Koufax
Image
Ted Williams was the greatest hitter I ever saw, but DiMaggio was the greatest all around player.
Bob Feller
Image
My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.
Mickey Mantle
Image
One absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. The difference is one hit every two weeks.
