I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.

Nick Johnson

The last batter to hit, blast shattered your hip, Smash any splitter or fastball-that'll be it.

Pharoahe Monch

All I want to do is hit someone in the mouth. It's a whole lot easier than working for a living. Don't make anything noble out of what I do

Randall Cobb

If people are good off the pitch, of course on the pitch it will be easier to play.

Alexandre Lacazette

Learn what pitch you can hit good; then wait for that pitch.

Willie Keeler

My best pitch is my fastball. It's probably the most difficult pitch to hit. In my case, batters have very little reaction time.

Aroldis Chapman

I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.

Bob Feller

I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.

Albert Pujols

It doesn't matter if we get a hit, a walk, hit by pitch; just trying to grind out at-bats.

Alex Bregman

Boxing is the sweet science. You hit and not get hit. There's no reward for you to hit me more than I hit you other than on the scorecards.

Bernard Hopkins

Spin rate itself doesn't make a pitch harder to hit. It just makes it further from what the hitters are used to seeing. It takes a pitch further away from average.

Trevor Bauer

Did I have a heart to be contented? Well, no, not particularly. I had a tendency to be discontented: ambitious, dissatisfied, fretful, and tough to please...It's easier to complain than to laugh, easier to yell than to joke around, easier to be demanding than to be satisfied.

Gretchen Rubin

Sometimes you go to home plate, and you have an idea, like a clear idea, of what they're going to throw to you. I think that's all: getting better pitches to hit, realizing when you hit the ball better, what pitch you hit, if you're chasing too much. If you figure out all that, you can get a little better as a player.

Jose Altuve

All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It's my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases. At sunset, I've won or lost. At sunrise, I'm out again, giving it the old try.
