HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL <step 5> Hitting

Admin 2010.10.23 02:42 Views : 2208

step 5 hitting
Clearly, to hit you'll need a baseball bat or a whiffle ball bat. Hitting is the most difficult part of baseball but don't get discouraged you can do it!

First throw it up and hit the ball. This is good practice but as you progress it will be better if your partner throws it to you instead so you get used to it. You can use a tennis ball if you don't have a baseball. Another alternative is to go to the local batting cages.

When you are hitting the ball put most of your weight on your back foot then take a little step forward when you are about to hit the ball. You should try to swing level, and make sure your arms are fully extended. Try not to pull your head out while hitting the ball by watching the ball all the way until you see it make contact with the bat, or if the ball goes by your bat. This picture shows how level your swing should be and how he kept his head in not pulling it out. Make sure you choose a batting stance that fits you. I have a batting stance with just my front toe touching the ground and holding my bat about level with my chest before i swing. Now put this all together and should at least make some contact.

To bunt you should square around to the pitcher or partner and just lightly tap by (assuming you're a righty; lefties, the opposite) putting your left hand at the base of the bat, and the other hand somewhere near the neck of the bat (about 2-3 inches from where the grip ends). The right hand, at the top of the bat, acts as a pivot point. Someone on TV (forget who, someone famous) described bunting as catching the ball with your bat. Bunting may be hard at first but easy to get used to it.
