Comments on How to Develop Greater Batting Strength

Try and keep a even stance, which means don't lean backward or forward, stay balanced. Also, be sure to transfer your weight through the ball.

Using a tee will help your swing tremendously. Use a heavier bat to swing and the next game you will crush the ball.

If you have a tendency to pull your head out (because you swing the baseball bat so hard) try this: b Before you go up to bat, about 3 quarters of the way up to your shoulder (use the shoulder closest to the pitcher), bite on your shirt. It will keep you from pulling your head out. After you get good at it you can stop the shirt-biting.

Before the pitch is even thrown, take a timing step instead of swinging and stepping at the same time. Also, don't take too big of a stride because you want all of your weight on your back leg.

The trick to good batting is your feet. When you take your stride (step) take it when the pitcher is lifting his leg in the windup. It may take some getting used to, but you will have your timing down pat.

Don't underestimate the importance of your feet in your search for power. Faster feet allows more time to watch the pitch, thus better pitch selection. Better pitch selection = better cuts at the balls that you like. You cannot swing for power, if your launch position is not correct when you start swinging with your arms. With proper execution, your faster feet will result in a more explosive swing. I read somewhere that a major league baller has 1/4 of a second to see the pitch, make up his mind to hit it and start his swing.

When the pitcher starts his wind up, stop all motion at the plate and have your bat cocked back. This increases readiness instead of waiting till the release to start your swing.

When you go to a pool, take a whiffle ball bat with you. Stand in 4 feet of water and swing about 200 times underwater. Do this three times a week for 20 weeks and you will have a lightning quick bat.

It is a good idea to tie a ball to a tree and swing at it, to perfect your accuracy AND strength!!!

Nomar Garciaparra is quite possibly one of the best overall hitters in the Major Leagues. The key to his success in his torso strength. If you can build your torso and hips then you should be a great hitter. Use yourself as a spring and then explode.

usually a pitcher throws a breaking ball only if they are up in the countat a game against ladue the pitcher threw one on the outer half of the plate and i missed it due to the break and my swing so i ended up going all summer trying not to fall for it again i adjusted my stance lower in order to see the break and puul to the opposite field a stance like cardinals 3b scott rolen is excellent because you are covering the outer half and increasing your power for inside stuff remember low and even

Trunk twists with a bat make you realize the amount of force exerted from your shoulders and upper body. Focusing on the twist while swinging the bat allows you to "get a feel" for where you should step into a ball. Thus perfecting your swing even more.

The key to the game is that you need to focus. Focus on the pitcher as he gets ready to pitch. When he releases the ball, look how it spins then react, look at the other tips to get the speed, but if you don't want to you're going to have to learn to swing earlier. I recommend looking at the tips, they are good.

At higher levels, pitchers need to hit first strikes in order to get ahead of the batter in the count and give their off-speed pitches more effective. A good hitter will have an aggressive approach at the plate, trying to hit the ball on a line to opposite field.

The first step to making contact would be to keep your eyes focused on the pitcher's brim. From there you can follow the baseball as it hits the bat. Aim for the top half of the baseball and all you want to do is hit hard ground balls and line drives.

Remember, always let the pitcher throw a strike first. If not, your giving him confidence. Always keep your eye on the ball and watch how the ball rotates.
