I can take a guess but what exactly does a hitting strategist do?

I can take a guess but what exactly does a hitting strategist do?

Probably tells hitters how high to hit their pop flies in the air.

And how to stubbornly keep hitting into the shift.

I've said it before, but I hope that means that "game planning" equates to situational hitting . . .

-- Don't try to hit everything into the air. Only when the situation calls for it
-- Don't try to hit everything into the shift. Take what they give you.
-- Put a priority on getting on base, advancing runners and driving in runners in scoring position.

Hopefully, the Manager, Hitting Coach and Assistant Hitting Coach will be on board, too.
