Summary: Zack Short -- also known as Shorty because baseball people are GREAT at coming up with nicknames -- took some time from his trip down in Jacksonville to hop on. If you've never heard a minor leaguer talk about the 8-hour bus rides before, just know Shorty's not an accurate representation of the average minor leaguer. But, if you want an idea of what these young hitters go through as they develop at the minor league level, Short's studies the game as much as anyone. And does a pretty good job explaining what he's learned and seen.
