Weak.
Back off the plate a little bit and drive inside pitches to opposite field homeruns or doubles.
Should be able to do that at will if you call yourself a hitter.
Dare the pitcher to start trying to sneak fastballs by you on the outside corner while they are in a shift. See how that out works out for them.
""I think the easiest way to do it would be for guys to play where they've played for all the time the game has been around. Two guys on the left side. Two guys on the right side. You have a designated area where the shortstop, third baseman, second baseman and first baseman all go, and you play there. That would be the simplest way. Is it gonna happen? I don't know. But if you're looking to help even out the advantage that pitchers have over the hitters, that's the only way to do it.''
