Reply to ""slow the ball""

 

One famous professional baseball player once said when asked, "What do you think about when you hit? answer: I don't get paid to think, just hit!

Guess who?

Going from high school to college (CN) was like trying to learn how to drive on the German Autobahn...

          One suggestion:

1.)Keep your hands soft and relaxed, the hands are the sole to the hitter. As the pitcher throws the ball the grip will tighten up. Start this in batting practice etc.

2.) Take your front step when you see the first motion of the pitcher. Keep your weight back and you will feel like you are seeing that slow pitch.

Reason being front step is in motion (hands back). Not sitting and trying to catch up to the pitch allows you time to see the pitch and hit the pitch with more confidence
