[QUOTE="78pike, post: 920018, member: 4030"] I think you are probably correct. It is certainly most likely the case in Russ Chandler. Still it would be interesting to see if the spray charts support your supposition. That would probably be a better indicator than home run balls since that is much more dependent on the field dimensions. I keep thinking about our own Stephen Reid as an example of how more and more hitters are being taught to use all fields and drive the ball according to pitch location. When Reid first got to Tech he was a pure pull hitter but has developed into a much more disciplined hitter who uses the entire field. He was so prone to strike out on the outside breaking ball because he was always trying to pull the ball. This past season we saw a big jump in batting average and cut way down on his strikeouts while not losing much of his power. Give credit to him but also to Ramsey who teaches pitch recognition and solid contact. Another guy that comes to mind is Tim Borden. I don't think he got the Timmy Barrels nickname until he got to Tech. I realize I am getting off topic here, but the transformation Borden made from his Louisville days to one season under Ramsey is nothing short of amazing. He and Chandler Simpson should be the poster boys for any guys hitting the transfer portal and why Tech should be a destination. [/QUOTE]
