One of the most prolific hitters of all-time, Mark McGwire joins Right Off The Bat this week in one of the most enlightening episodes yet.
McGwire– who ranks 7th in MLB history with a .588 slugging percentage– dives deep into the mental side of the game, both from a hitting perspective and a personal perspective. Acknowledging that he has one of the best minds in baseball history at the plate, McGwire provides numerous teaching points every listener should take into account to help their swing. Ranked 11th on the all-time home run list with 583, Big Mac also talks about the struggles he had with media and how he had to dig deep inside himself to address all the pressure during his historic home run race with Sammy Sosa in the legendary summer of 1998. Plus, McGwire shares the true story behind how a guy who was initially a college pitcher made the transition into one of baseball’s best power hitters all because of one fateful day in Alaska.
