- Select the correct size bat.
- Learn the strike zone - don't swing at bad
pitches.
- Learn to get control of your body, learn to use
your hands and have good balance
- Rhythm and timing are very important, study
the pitcher from the on deck circle
- Keep your stride short, a long stride will only
throw you off balance.
- Stay on top of the ball. A slight downward
swing allows this and is a good way to keep
from upper-cutting. Keeping the front shoulder
in and down also allows a hitter to get the bat
head out in front and prevents dropping the
back shoulder.
- Learn to hit your strength. Every hitter has a
strength just as every hitter has a weakness.
Hit your pitch. When you get it, don't let it get
away. Concentrate on solid, hard contact.
- Don't be afraid to fail, get your pitch and let it
fly!!
