Dalton Rushing Discusses Hitting Art on Baseball Bar-B-Cast

Rushing, who has batted .667 with a 2.367 OPS in 10 plate appearances this season, explained that hitting is as much about reading pitchers as it is about swing mechanics. He said, “Understanding the art of hitting and being able to pick a pitcher apart before he beats you is the real satisfaction.”

He also noted that the depth of data available to big‑league hitters today far exceeds what is used at lower levels, stressing plate discipline and strategic pitch selection as key to success.
