How to Hit a Baseball By: Christian Vylonis
Grip • Door knocking knuckles should be lined up. • You shouldn’t choke the bat with your hands, this causes a loss in range of motion
Stance • Feet shoulder width apart. • Too wide is uncomfortable and you lose rotation with your legs. • Too narrow and your unbalanced and not athletic. • Arms should be close to body and in the vicinity of your armpit.
Swing and Contact • Drive knob of the bat to the ball following the A to C path. • A long swing results in foul balls, weakly hit fly balls, and strikeouts. • A short and quick swing is ideal. • Elbows should have slight bend to them when making contact with baseball. • Hips and legs should rotate with the torso creating torque to propel the ball.
Mental Aspect • Hitting a baseball is 80% mental and 20% physical • If you start an at bat thinking your going to get out you might as well sit back in the dugout • A batter must learn pitch sequences, release points, and timing of the pitcher. • You only have milliseconds to react !!
