Mike SCHMIDT Shares His SECRET to Hitting a Ball Like a Pro! - YouTube

What are you doing? Chris, Frank, and I are playing a game called Pepper. We play it all the time in the big leagues. Before games. In spring training, we have to play a lot of it too, because when you're talking about basic skills in baseball, right after throwing comes hitting, doesn't it? Well, I'm telling you, the first thing you want to learn to do is play Pepper because you're controlling the bat and the ball, and Frank's getting a chance to throw with accuracy back to me and giving me good strikes to hit. I'm doing my best to keep my eye on the ball and have a little bat control here and hitting the good ground balls. That's one thing you've got to try to master is the art of playing Pepper. You guys want to try it? Yeah. Hop on down there and let's see how accurate your arms are.
