Techniques & Tips...

Hitting

 

Grip

The grip on the bat should be comfortable in the hand, ideally the middle knuckles on each hand would line up. This helps in executing the proper swing. The grip should be fairly loose up until you ‘load’ particularly with your top hand. Don’t choke the bat with such a tight grip that it tenses up all the muscles in your arms and shoulders.

Load & Stride

Once the pitcher begins his movement forward with the pitch, the batter should then ‘load’. What this involves is a slight movement inward and backwards (about 2 inches) of the batters hands, shoulders, hips and knees. The batter’s weight shifts from a 50/50 to a 40/60 front to back ratio. During this load it is important to not move the head and to keep your eyes on the ball.

Quote Corner...

Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game. I
feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they
think of when they think of their childhood. I think it stirs up an incredible
emotion within people.   

Steve Busby, in Washington Post, 8 July 1974
