Reply to "How to stay back on the ball"

CoachB25Honorary "Old TImer"

I believe the key is to practice and get enough repetitions in that you instill confidence and eliminate "panic." Being able to stay back really means that the hitter has gained that confidence that the fastball can not beat them and so, they are more relaxed. In short, I believe that this was my biggest failing as a coach this year. I just couldn't get a portion of our lineup to this point. Therefore, they launched early, we're terrible at going the other way and in general played into how most teams pitched us this year. JMHO!
