Reply to "Htting EVERYWHERE but Game"

BP and cage hitting isn't really hitting, it's swinging.  Most hitting coaches coach swinging.  Learning to swing a bat isn't easy, but it's only part of the picture.  It's easy to forget that when you get in a game the pitcher is trying to get you out.  He does this by changing speeds and location.  A good cage swing only gets you so far.  You have to be able to adjust and adapt to the pitch in order to make solid contact.

I think PT gave excellent advice to look for pitches you can hit to the opposite field.  This helps you stay back on pitches which is key to adjusting to the pitcher's timing.  You can build on this as you have some success and gain confidence.  Take a look at video Freddie Freeman did on how he trains with a tee, it's an excellent example of how to practice using the whole field.
