The Best Baseball Hitting Tips I Can Give You To Help You Be A Good Hitter

Hello,

   I have showed a bit about pitching because that is what I know best. We played
2 games a week. I pitched one of them and played shortstop in the other. I also batted
third because I was a very good hitter also. Here are some tips to practice to
improve your hitting.

STEP 1: GET A GRIP
Grip the bat by wrapping your fingers around the base, align the middle knuckles
of your top hand between the middle and lower knuckles on your bottom hand.
You can choke up on the bat for speed, most people choke up about an inch or two from the bottom.
You want to hold the bat firmly with your bottom hand but don't tighten your wrist too
much or you'll lose bat speed.

STEP 2: IN THE ZONE
You'll want to bend you knees slightly to put you a little closer to the strike zone.
The strike zone is the width of home plate and extends from the bottom of the batter's kneecaps to the upper torso.
Some players like to crouch way down, it's all a matter of what feels comfortable to you.
I was in a semi crouch with my weight on my back foot. Let me get a fast swing through
the pitch. I went for line drives mostly and not home runs.
Hold your bat between 5-7 inches from your torso but make sure if feels comfortable for you.
Hold your hands up around the letters on your uniform with your elbows out.


STEP 3: SWINGER
As the pitcher is going through his windup you'll want to concentrate on the release point.
This will give you an indication of what type of pitch is coming your way. As soon as
you see that ball you'll want to start your stride with your leg. Keep your arms and
 hands at the same level as you begin your swing. Always focus on the ball as you
uncoil your body, pivot your hips, and your bottom hand should pull the bat around
as your top hand guides it towards the ball. Keep your head down ans eyes on
the ball. Your natural hand to eye coordination will kick in.

    Just remember to make your stance for what is comfortable to you. The most
important thing is eyes on the ball. Don't pull your head off the ball when you swing
or it will be an out every time. Go to a batting cage and practice, practice, practice.
You WILL becaome a very good hitter with a bit of work and technique.
