[Tyler Flowers,] The Roswell, Ga., native is hitting a sizzling .467 with five homers and eight RBIs this fall. [...]

"I've always had pretty good power," Flowers said. "I was just never able to elevate balls. They've been kind of line-drive home runs. I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to hit through the ball." [...]

"It's not much of a secret," Flowers said of his hot hitting. "I'm just hitting the pitches that look good. I guess it's pitch selection as well. I try to allow the pitcher to make a mistake. You see a lot of guys overly aggressive on the first pitch. Sometimes that's not the best pitch to hit in that at-bat."
