I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.
Carlos Delgado
Image
I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage.
Lefty Gomez
Image
I copied (Shoeless Joe) Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.
Babe Ruth
Image
If you got a hit every third time that you went up to bat in the major leagues, you'd be the greatest hitter of all time. I think my average is a little better than that.
Brad Williams
Image
My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I'd have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter.
Eddie Mathews
Image
I cant think of anything more humiliating than losing a ballgame to a guy who steals home on you. It happened to me one time against Kansas City. I had a 2-2 count on the hitter - and Amos Otis broke from third. The pitch was a ball and slid in safe. I felt like a nickel.
Nolan Ryan
Image
My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.
Johan Santana
Image
The hitter can never be the judge. Only the receiver of the blow can tell you how hard it was, whether it would kill a man or make a baby just yawn.
Edward P. Jones
Image
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
Mickey Mantle
Image
What makes a good pinch hitter? I wish the hell I knew.
Bobby Murcer
Image
There are always things to improve on. I want to improve on my defense, and you can never be a perfect hitter. I want to focus on just playing more and being able to improve on all parts of my game.
Mark Teixeira
Image
What had I expected of the first child? Everything. Rocket scientist. Neurosurgeon. Designated hitter. We talked wisely at cocktail parties about the sad mistake our mothers had made in pinning all their hopes and dreams on us. We were full of it.
Anna Quindlen
Image
The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.
Don Drysdale
Image
Playing shortstop is 75 to 80 percent anticipation, knowing the hitter and the pitch being thrown.
Lou Boudreau
Image
Tom Hanks has taken George Clooney's place as the big-hitter driving a lot of liberal causes.
Bill O'Reilly
Image
What makes a good leadoff hitter? Deion Sanders had speed, but he wasn't the ideal leadoff hitter. What was his on-base percentage? The criteria shouldn't be speed, it should be getting on base.
Jack McKeon
Image
Some pitchers want to be known as the fastest throwers that ever lived. Some want to win 30 games in one season. Some want to pitch a no-hitter. All I want to do is the best I can, day after day. In other words, I want to prove I am the best.
Tom Seaver
Image
I believe I'm a middle-of-the-order hitter capable of driving in runs. If I stay healthy, I'll get back to that level.
Justin Morneau
Image
I believe it is a tradition in baseball that when a pitcher has a no-hitter going, no one reminds him of it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
A lot of people just thought I'd be a .260 hitter all my life. I was kind of like, 'Let me make some adjustments and let me learn the game a little bit.'
Jeff Francoeur
Image
You’re not going to be a 1.000 hitter all the time. You’re going to be more wrong than right. You just have to correct your errors as quickly, as economically, as possible.
Les Wexner
Image
Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgement and nothing can help you escape it - that no substitute can do your thinking, as no pinch-hitter can live your life.
Ayn Rand
Image
I've been working with Peaches for a while as far as doing shows, maybe for the past two years. Everyone else seems to think that this is a new relationship, but me and her have been touring off and on for a while now. I was doing my album and I needed that heavy-hitter.
Cakes da killa

There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.
Ted Williams
