Trea Turner

I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.

Pete Rose

If a hitter gets hot, I wouldn't take a hot hitter out of the lineup.

Ryne Sandberg

I copied (Shoeless Joe) Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.

Babe Ruth

I was a lousy hitter in May doing the same things that made me a great hitter in June.

Carl Yastrzemski

I've always said, even batting leadoff, that I want to be a dangerous hitter.

Trea Turner

People think the leadoff spot is a big deal. I tell people you're going to lead off the first inning, and after that, you can be a No. 4 hitter or No. 3 hitter.

Andruw Jones

Anytime a pitcher hasn't faced a hitter, I feel the pitcher has the advantage. The more times the hitter sees somebody, the more the advantage goes to the hitter.

Clayton Kershaw

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

Don Drysdale

Some coaches believed they could judge a player's performance simply by watching it. In this they were deeply mistaken. The naked eye was an inadequate tool for learning what you needed to know to evaluate baseball players and baseball games. Think about it. One absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. The difference is one hit every two weeks. The difference between a good hitter and an average hitter is simply not visible-it is a matter of record

Michael Lewis

There is no doubt that because I am a switch hitter I have one of the best offensive advantages that a hitter can have.

Pete Rose

My dad wasn't a power hitter, and I didn't think I'd be a power hitter because the person I wanted to be like was him, and he was the one that taught me to play the game.

Ken Griffey Jr.

When I stood up there as a pinch hitter, I honestly believed I was the best hitter in the game. That's the only attitude to have.

Manny Mota

We try to do a great job of understanding the opposing hitter and his tendencies. Maybe understand the hitter better than he knows himself.

Theo Epstein

Jerry Lumpe looks like the best hitter in the world until you put him in the lineup.

Casey Stengel

The leadoff-hitter thing, I think, it's always nice to have an established leadoff hitter and to have someone who can really get on base and set the tone.

Theo Epstein

One absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. The difference is one hit every two weeks.
