hitting slump

everyone has had a slump. If you haven't you haven't played long enough. The only way to get out of a slump is to hit your way out of it. Extra hitting is the key. If you are getting jammed alot you could try some one hand drills. keep you're lower body still and just focus on throwing your hands at the ball. Always seems to help me. Good luck

Are you really in a SLUMP, or are your hard hits just not dropping? Tony Oliva asked that in his youth league hitting book, and I have seen instances of this several times. If you really are in a slump, just get to the closest cage and hit until you feel good again.

In the box, focus on the pitcher's hat, as pitcher begins the wind up focus on the the release point, work on seeing the ball leave the pitcher's hand.

60 % weight back, front knee canted in a little. Nothing starts til the front foot touches, hips slightly lead a circular hand path that actually starts toward the opposite batters box, flat hands through the zone bottom palm facing down, top palm facing up (flat hands)with bottom hand pulling through the zone & lead arm extention above the plane of the ball. Lay off the breaking ball and wait for the fastball. All these should help.

I just went through the same thing last year towards the end of the year. It's very frusturating, but you have to work through it. I found that I changed my stance and the mechanics of my swing was different than my usual. Swing tons and if you feel uncomfortable then keep swinging until your comfortable. I did hand-eye coordination drills too like hitting golf ball sized wiffle balls with the handle of a broom. That seemed to help getting the barrel on the ball. Good luck with that.

Personally hitting slumps are becuase of confidence, if you go 0/3-0/4 the next game you dont feel like you see the ball as well. you have to have confidence at every at bat.

well I guess I could say extra batting practice is main key like yall said. I've been goin down to the field 30 minutes before practice starts and hitting with a buddy. So lately i've been getting around 2 hits a game.

yeah, it's all mantal, if you think your in a slump, than you WILL bve in one, so if you don't do good in one game, don't automatically think your going through a slump, just look forword to the next game, and keep trying.
