April 18, 201214 yr http://hittrackeronline.com/detail.php?id=2012_253&type=hitter The distances on Hanley's 3 HRs this year are: 429, 447 and 439 Holy crap. I think he's back. Discuss the power!
April 18, 201214 yr Hanley has been absolutely crushing the ball, but this can be a double edged sword. Ive seen hanley many times try to crush the ball behind the count. I don't mind this if he's gonna hit 50 hrs this season, but at least try to make contact on a pitchers count.

Many times on a 1-2 count I have seen him roll over on offspeed pitches or be way out in front. Everyone knows the 2 strike approach is never under never early

He's hitting the ball too well right now.

I agree too, but so far this season he's hitting the ball the other way which shows his head is in the right mindset. That last game winning hit was behind the count and the other way like it should be.
April 18, 201214 yr Author Hanley has been absolutely crushing the ball, but this can be a double edged sword. Ive seen hanley many times try to crush the ball behind the count. I don't mind this if he's gonna hit 50 hrs this season, but at least try to make contact on a pitchers count. I agree too, but so far this season he's hitting the ball the other way which shows his head is in the right mindset. That last game winning hit was behind the count and the other way like it should be. Yeah, and his homeruns have been to Center or Left-Center, so he's not yanking the ball the way Omar seems to do. I do agree that sometimes his swings look like he's going for the fences, but that could just be an optical illusion of his long and extended follow-through. Either way, he's killing it right now, so I hope he keeps doing what he's doing.
April 18, 201214 yr Author He ate all of Stanton's power in Spring Training. I think Mike is getting into shape, in the last 2 games he's had those Stanton-patented low flying line drives that hit the bottom of the fence before touching the ground.
April 18, 201214 yr He ate all of Stanton's power in Spring Training. Stanton will come around, he missed most of SP, hopefull he'll bust out soon
April 18, 201214 yr 447ft..wow Didn't realize that one Sun was that long. Would've guessed 430 tops. Seemed like he cranked the one last night a litte harder, actually.
April 19, 201214 yr Anybody still want to move in the fences? All of our hr's have been absolute bombs that would go out in any ballpark. Too early to tell.
April 19, 201214 yr Keep the fences where they are...and I think Hanley has simplified to see ball, hit ball because he is that crazy talented...I think the MVP race is neck and neck between Hanley and Kemp
