Given the increasing velocity and movement of pitches in modern baseball, what are the most effective contemporary hitting approaches against high-velocity breaking balls, particularly those with significant late movement? How have professional hitters adjusted their mechanics and plate approach to consistently make solid contact or drive these pitches? Are there any specific drills or mental strategies that stand out as particularly effective?
