all i can say is practice, practice, practice. go in the batting cages, have a friend toss you a couple pitches. when you say you could improve on your hitting, what do you need to improve upon? is it your timing, power, the speed of your swing? the bat speed plays a major role in being a successful hitter. i am the JV shortstop up at my high school. personally if i was a coach, i would look for hustle, hustle, hustle. i can tell you one thing from experience, when i was trying out in my high school, there was one kid who was a little better than me at shortstop. however, i kept on hustling, making the best of every play and the coach picked me over the better shortstop. personally, i think that every coach looks at hustle more than talent. it does not matter if you are not the best ball player out there. what matters is you are giving it your all every single day no matter what. let me tell you, two years ago i was basically horrible at baseball. but i practiced every single day, and now im one of the best shortstops at my school. to tell you the truth, i wouldnt cut you if you gave it all you got. also one tip for hitting if you arent already doing it, when you are gripping the bat, do not choke the bat. keep your hands loose because when you do, that increases bat speed. just practice, practice, practice. at times it may seem like nonsense, but trust me. it really pays off in the long run. just wondering, but what position do you play and how good do you think you are at it? if possible, maybe post some clips of your hitting or fielding so everyone can get a better sense of how good you are. just hang in there man. also, what grade are you in?
