Reply to "Htting EVERYWHERE but Game"

This is such an awesome idea, thank you! It makes sense, my club ball coach trained us to always "take" the first pitch and I think it's something I do out of habit without even realizing it.

And you're exactly right, I always wind up with a full count and then either strike out looking or swing at a bad pitch near the end.

I am going to try swinging more aggressively on the first pitch to see what happens.

My son had a coach who told them to take the first pitch and they couldn’t swing at a curveball until they had 2 strikes. Finally got both of these habits broken and he’s been a good hitter ever since. He tries to barrel the first strike he sees. His OBP is down a bit because he doesn’t walk as much but he also doesn’t strike out.
