The Athletics re-acquired this switch-hitting outfielder from the Mets' organization last winter. Previously, New York had drafted Tom from the A's. Tom hit a ton in the minors... last year his .319 average tore up the Int. League.
No. 15, The Long Follow Through. Experienced batters like Riggs Stephenson know the value of a long follow through, letting the bat sweep to the end of its natural are without smothering the swing. Hit the ball out in front of the body-line and never behind it, since the point of greatest power lies in front where the arms are fully extended. Never cramp the arms close to the body when swinging, and always give the wrists full play. Both feet should be firmly on the ground as the bat starts forward. - By Austen Lake, Baseball Editor, Boston Transcript.
