What I noticed about Hicks is that he hit much better when he went to the plate swinging rather than trying to "work the count". He's a terrible two-strike hitter so don't let him get to that point. When he gets a hittable pitch, hit it! It doesn't matter if it's the first pitch or the seventh. Just hit it.

Postseason Review: Aaron Hicks
djvang replied to stringer bell's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Hicks seems to be a much better hitter when he abandons the "work the count" approach that has infested the game. When you get a hittable pitch, HIT IT! Doesn't matter if it's the first pitch or the 8th. You might only get one hittable pitch per at bat. Don't waste it. Hicks is helpless when he gets two strikes so don't let it get to that point.
