Using the word "can't". If you tell a batter they can't strikeout. They will more then likely lead to a strikeout. Simply because they are trying not to. Rather then just staying in their approach I read this somewhere and now I see it all the time

Hitting is tricky to coach. Some ways work for some hitters and don't work for others. 5 things I think are most important for hitters. 1. A good load/launch position 2. Back hip starts the swing 3. Good Barrel path/control 4. Be on the time with the pitch 5. Plate discipline

I think batting average is down because mindsets about striking out has changed. Strikeouts used to the worst thing ever. Now they are just viewed as an out (same as a weak flyout) Most players don't go into a 2 strike approach to put ball in play anymore. They keep the 1/2
