Re: Who will have the better career: Jason Heyward or Jay Bruce?

It is more pronounced against lefthanders, but he does it on righthanders too. He has no chance against a lefthanders' breaking stuff. Heyward looked like a beast at the plate yesterday. Stays on the ball real well. If yesterday is a good indicator, he is real good. Like all players, they will find a hole and exploit it. How he handles that will tell a lot.

Hitting a baseball in the Major Leagues is Hard.

Hitting when you are off balance is all most impossible.
