Have A Plan For Hitting
Some
may argue, but most will agree, hitting a baseball is the most
difficult challenge in sports! However, having a plan when going to the
plate will increase your chances for success. Check the follow for two
basic approaches to improved hitting,
There are basically two solid approaches to hitting:
1. You can choose the velocity you want to hit, for instance4 you can "Hunt the Fast Ball" or sit on off-speed until you get two strikes.
2. The second approach is to "Shrink Your Strike Zone". It's near impossible to cover the entire strike zone effectively.. The plate is 7 balls wide but the "Zone" is 8 balls wide and 10 balls high. So, shrink your zone to maybe a 3 ball x 3 ball zone and look for a pitch in your "Happy Zone". Box it up, as coaches and teammates like to say.
Your best chance for success is to have a Plan when you go to the plate. Work at it!
