Oppo

I am a right handed hitter and I keep hitting the ball to the right side. Any thing middle or out side I have been driving to right with authority, but any thing inside I often inside out the ball to right feild, like Jeter. About 80% of my hits are to right feild. I'm reluctant to change because I've been succesful but I know to take advantage of my full power I have to pull the ball. What can I do to begin pulling the ball, and should I be changing my approach when I'm hitting near .500 and hitting fourth? Thanks for any insight.

I dont know if this is proper or it will work for you..... but you can release the bat earlier. When you hit to oppo the apex (release) of the bat whip is after contact. Take a thin towel and swing it like a bat, but whip it. That will give you a feeling of the whip. I don t know if this will help. I just hope it doesnt hurt your swing...

You might just need to commit a little earlier on the middle in pitch. It sound like you have the ideal approach to "middle-out". Work on recognizing the inside pitch and be aggressive.

You will need to change your approach if you want to learn turn on an inside pitch. Just don't give anything up on middle out while you are working on it. You may have a couple more k's as you try to make the adjustment, but if you begin to pull the inside pitch it should be well worth it.
