About Edd Roush: Edd J. Roush was a Major League Baseball player who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. He played the majority of his career in center field, and had his best years with the Cincinnati Reds.
Some batters, and good ones too, scoff at the whole theory of place hitting, calling it a myth. They are wrong, however.
Place hitting is, in a sense, glorified bunting. I only take a half swing at the ball, and the weight of the bat rather than my swing is what drives it.
