Mickey mantle was one of the most powerful players of his time. He defined the real secret of power was the strength a player has in their wrists, forearms and shoulders. Mantle believed he had developed his power based on his days as a farm hand on his father's ranch as he grew up. It is of note that Mantle was also known to be one of the fastest running players of his time. This requires power in one's thighs and calves, however, in his autobiography, he makes no reference as to how he acquired his running power & skills in that part of his game.
