It was not that he hit more and he definitely did not hit them farther than others. It was how he hit them. It has been almost 20 years so I can't remember if it was left to right or right to left so my example might be backwards. After he would hit several line drives all over the field he would always end BP by hitting one to left, then left center, then center, then right center, and then right field on consecutive pitches.
