Tips To Get Better At Hitting In Baseball - Developing A Nice Swing Movement

By Glen Rude


There are plenty of issues a coach or baseball player should be aware with regards to hitting. Striking the ball requires every part of the entire body. Practice will be the best way to get better. We will take a look at a number of steps in how to establish a great swing action.

Many people do not realize there exists a proper and improper technique to hold the baseball bat. Your two hands need to be against each other while you grasp the baseball bat, the fingers of each hand should wrap around the handle of the bat with the knuckles lined up with each other. baseball hitting tips

Every single tip is only a rough estimate, as stances vary to some degree with respect to each person's build, keep this in mind, but stick to the fundamentals as close as possible as they are an established system to good results. Stand in the batters box, feet shoulder width apart, legs somewhat bent, bodyweight evenly distributed. Be sure you can easily reach the outer area of home plate by tapping it with the end of the bat. If you're unable to reach the outside edge of the plate, or if you must bend over to touch it, shift closer to home plate.

Position the hands at the height of your chest, holding the baseball bat slightly at the rear of your ear and a little over your rear shoulder. Never rest the bat on your shoulder any time striking, it is going to generate a sluggish swing and totally mess up your timing. A batter must have a starting mechanism which in turn triggers the body's striking motion.

There are lots of starting mechanisms, but the majority and the simplest approaches involve the player's front foot. Lift the foot out front about 2" - 3" off the ground and move it frontward just like you're about to walk. This starts off the proper body motion, that then produces the explosive movement in the hips, which accelerates the shoulders, arms and hands throughout the hitting zone.
