Any tips?

Yes, your story reminds me of a time my son looked like he had never handled a bat. His freshman year he was playing JV and hitting well. He went on a trip over Spring Break and didn't pick up a bat for more than a week. His first day back in school, his team played the weakest team in the conference. Son struck out 3 times and frankly didn't come close to hitting the ball.

When I asked him after the game what happened, he said: "I felt like I had never swung a bat before."

That was after one week off, so I can certainly understand that missing all of Fall practice could make you feel that way.

My son is considered a pretty good baseball player. Right now, he's a middle linebacker and tailback averaging 25 carries a game on his high school football team. Usually after the football season, he hits like someone looking for the light switch in a pitch black room for a week or so before starting to feel like a hitter again. Be patient and relax. It's very normal.

Thank you. It was just very embarrassing, I did so bad I eventually got pulled as a sub. I really want to try to make varsity this year and I would only do it with my hitting but I feel like after that showing in front of the coaches, it really hurt me.

the simple answer is YES!!!! don't worry after about a week you will be back to normal. baseball is not like riding a bike you do forget. why do you think the pro's hit every day? don't worry it is very normal. you will knock off the rust in no time.
