Ryan Collins is the worst baseball player we've ever had. I'm not exaggerating either.
This has to be a first.
It seems obvious, but the fact of the matter is the players sometimes don't remember that, and they need a subtle reminder. If you want evidence of this, see any time MSU hits fly balls, because those are not to our advantage.
But to answer your question- not necessarily. Each hitter is different- Ryan Klesko had more of an upper cut swing because he knew that he was very strong and if he can get the ball in the air, there's a decent chance that it will get out of the yard. Then you look at some of the leadoff type hitters such as say, Vince Coleman, Kenny Lofton, and Juan Pierre. They're going to want to hit the ball on the ground more often than not to try to take advantage of their speed. Then you have a guy like Pete Rose, who was more of a line drive hitter. What it comes down to is each player must understand their identity and role, and understand who they are as a player and what style fits their talents the best. And the same could be applied for teams as well. For example, LSU is going to want to try to get the ball in the air more than MSU because they have more power hitters- they have guys that can take that chance more than us. That's also why they were one of the teams that was complaining about the bats more than some of the others.
Now, I do think in general, trying to hit line drives and being a line drive hitter is probably the best way to go in general, and is probably the most common style out there, and it is a very sound approach.
Basically, all I'm saying is that MSU has a bunch of hitters that are very similar, and if they're not hitting line drives, they're probably not hitting.
