Baseball Tricks

Baseball Tip for Hitting:

• Attack the ball each swing.
• Belt buckle should snap quickly toward pitcher as bat is "thrown" at the ball.
• Contact each pitch in appropriate contact zone.
• Do not elevate front shoulder during swing.
• Eliminate weight rushing forward during stride.
• Focus on the ball all the way to the point of contact.
• Get the back side to stay tall at contact.
• Hips, snap, elbow extend, and wrists elongate at contact.
• Initiate a slow coil as pitch is being delivered.
• Just keep hands loose and flexible and throw them at the ball.
• Knees spin in unison during the swing.
• Level hip and shoulder rotation during contact.
• Maintain the front shoulder down, hip weight back and front knee during stride.
• Never think about things other than the baseball during each swing in a game.
• Once the bat meets the ball, the back shoulder and chin should graze together in order to keep eyes on the ball and the back side from dropping.
• Point the front hip pocket slightly toward the pitcher prior to pitch in order to build hip speed.
• Quit straightening out the lead elbow prior to contact - this will product a long, slow swing.
• Roll wrists after contact is made.
• Stride with a "closed" front toe.
• Turn back heel upward during contact.
• Unify the hips and hands together during the swing.
• Visually track each pitch from pitcher's fingers.
• Weight distribution with the hands and hips is slow during the coil and stride and then is quick during the swing.
• X-ray visually the speed, spin and location of each pitch.
• Yes to strikes, no to balls.
• Zero tension during each plate appearance in the game.
