And that's just a big part of it.
I'm not aware of anything that would improve the raw hitting ability.
A 90mph fastball from a machine that's not trying to fool me is essentially invisible to me. The best I get is seeing a bit of a blurry spot halfway between me and the machine.
I suspect Gwynn could not only see a LOT more, and could choose where he made contact so the ball would more likely be in a gap instead of right to someone.
I was just pointing out that Bens idea isn't entirely insane. It hopefully isn't true.
It could just as easily be a bit of the "Boggs or Gwynn" debates popular back in the day.
