Rick Eckstein never played in the major leagues. He never played in the minor leagues. The pinnacle of his playing career came in 1996, when he got 75 at-bats at the University of Florida.His batting average before an injury ended his dreams of playing: .200.So how is it that the diminutive 35-year-old, who needs to stand on his tiptoes to see into a batting cage, has not only earned the title of Washington Nationals hitting coach, but also the respect of his entire roster of major leaguers...
Zuckerman obviously has not seen the Legend of Rick Eckstein thread here.
Some hitting coaches try to get all of their players to follow the same rules. Eckstein doesn't.
Lenny "Opposite Field" Harris he ain't. Wonder what advice Harris would give to Giambi?
"The goal for everyone is 'four,' " he said. "For one guy, that might mean two plus two. For another guy, that might mean three plus one. For another, it might be five minus one. But as long as everyone gets to the same spot in the end, it doesn't matter how they got there."
