Bad Calls and Baseball Hitting Tips

By Jeff Wise


As a baseball player, you're bound to experience some bad calls every now and then. It's easy to get emotional when the umpire calls a bad strike and forces you back into the dugout. You feel cheated and even angry. You need to know the baseball hitting tips for handling bad calls.

Players can get downright ugly when they get a bad call against them. I've seen players throw their helmets, give dirty looks at the umpire or even yell at the umpire. It's not a pretty sight. It's better in these times to swallow your pride and not show your frustration.

Getting mad will only hurt your game. First, it won't undo the bad call that was made. Second, it will mentally cause you to lose focus throughout the rest of the game. Finally, it may even cause the umpire to seek revenge and give you more bad calls later.

It's best to just accept whatever call is given and move on with the game. If it's a bad call and your coach is bothered by it, he will say something to the umpire. You, on the other hand, should try not to let it bother you. If you strike out, just make up your mind that you'll do better the next time you're at the plate. If necessary, you can always vent your frustrations to the coach or other players.

If you can react this way instead of showing your anger, it will show that you're a good sportsman. The fans and your teammates will be encouraged by your response. Keeping a positive attitude will affect the rest of your game in a good way. The bad call should motivate you to play better so your team will win.

Stay focused and don't let bad calls bother you. These baseball hitting tips will really help you be the best player you can be. A good player is not all determined by stats. It's also about how you play the game and your sportsmanship.
