Joey Votto Gets Good Pitches To Hit

Votto on his favorite book, Ted Williams’ The Science of Hitting:

↵↵“You might be able to get it online, but there’s nothing like having the book,” Votto said. “Also, there’s something about carrying it with you and remembering where you came from. No matter how deeply we are into our careers, we’re all just kids. This game never gets any easier. It’s nice to remember that when I was 18, I was looking at that book and trying my best, and when I’m 28, I’m still looking at it and trying my best, and hopefully I’ll be 38 and doing the same.”
