This “Hitting From the Heart” instructional DVD, created by Eric Davis, was preserved in Tony Gwynn’s estate. Davis, a World Series Champion, two-time All-Star, and inspirational cancer survivor, produced this program to teach hitting fundamentals while also sharing motivational lessons on overcoming adversity.

Davis’s swing was regarded as one of the purest in baseball, and his career was defined both by elite on-field play and resilience through personal challenges. In the film, he demonstrates hitting techniques, provides insights into mental preparation, and offers stories of perseverance that transcend the game. Special features include a career retrospective, photo gallery, and his message of hope.

Gwynn and Davis were contemporaries and peers, both celebrated for their pure hitting approaches and professionalism. This DVD reflects not only Davis’s influence on the game but also the broader community of mutual respect among great hitters of the era, a circle Gwynn was firmly at the center of.
