Have you ever wondered which Major League hitter you are most like?
Asking yourself this question is fun, but it’s also instructive. Every Major Leaguer has something special about him that has helped him succeed where many others failed.
Learning what you have in common with them can help you identify your own strengths and weakness.
In this quiz, there’s a number of factors we take into consideration.
Yes, that includes body type… but that’s not the only factor!
So if you’re a tall guy whose quiz results say Joey Votto, don’t dismiss it right away. Maybe you’re a spit fire that energizes your whole team, while also having a highly adjustable hitting style whose strength is your ability to handle many types of pitching.
Either way, the goal is to have fun and also learn a little something about yourself as a hitter.
