I believe the Major League Baseball players are being taught the wrong thing - Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez busts the myth around launch angles in baseball

By Aashna Modified 07 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Alex Rodriguez News Conference Former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez showed his fans how to hit a homer and dispelled the baseball myth about launch angles. The former baseball player guaranteed that "you'll never be out of a job" if you use his straightforward method. A-Rod explained the difference between a launch angle and a line-to-line approach in a video on Instagram. “Forget launch angle and remember the line-to-line consistent hitting and controlling the strike zone. So, I believe the Major League baseball players are being taught the wrong thing with launch angles.” This is what A-Rod uploaded for his social media followers. "How to hit homers? Forget about launch angle. Yeah, that’s right. Link in bio." - Alex Rodriguez The few baseball greats who swing by the launch angle were also discussed in A-Rod’s video. MLB icons Pete Rose, Derek Jeter, and Ted Williams have had remarkable success with this strategy. “So if you’re a young man out there or a young girl playing baseball or softball, hit the ball hard line to line—you’ll never be out of a job,” Rodriguez added.
