    Tension Is A Hitter's Worst Enemy!

    More than one great hitter I know, uses a reminder to keep the front shoulder closed. One is a right-handed hitter who tucks his fr ...

  • Your Players Can Hit Farther With The Right Hitting Drills
    By: Coach Radcliff | - The most effective recommendation that a youth baseball coach can give a young player while doing baseball hitting drills
    is always to think about hitting the ball up the middle. If you concentrate on hitting up the middle, you can adjust to hit the ball wherever it's pitched. If you go to the plate hoping to pull the ball, you will struggle hitting an outside pitch. Your front side will have opened up too soon and you will not be able to drive a pitch on the outside part of the plate. You ...

  • The Number One Baseball Hitting Problem On Earth!
    By: Larry Cicchiello | - A "quick hip" is when the front hip opens a fraction of a second early. It is a very common baseball hitting problem and a very serious one for many hitters at all levels of play. The swing itself should force the front hip open. If the hip opens a fraction of a second too quick, it forces your front side to open too early and this is a recipe for disaster for a baseball player at any level of play. I don't care if it's T-ball or M.L.B.

    If you have what is referred to as a "quick hi ...

  • Baseball Tips On Hitting: Being Ahead In The Count Is Critical For You!
    By: Larry Cicchiello | - The ability of a baseball hitter to get the count in his favor will very often determine how much success he has.

    With counts of 2-0 or 3-1, there isn't any such thing as a mediocre swing, late swing, weak swing or check swing at a pitch. The batter should have the buttons on his uniform shirt popping off because the swing should be aggressive or he should not be swinging at all and should simply take the pitch! No big deal if you take a tough strike and the count becomes 2-1 or 3-2 ...

Occasionally, you will see a weaker hitter sort of peeking at the ball over his front shoulder. It's mandatory to get a complete and unobstructed view of the baseball.

  • Baseball Tips On Hitting: You Really Should Learn How To Hit To The Opposite Field!
    By: Larry Cicchiello | - By now, we've all heard the expression, "hit it where it's pitched."

    1. Make sure you are not standing too close to the plate and make sure you don't have a bat that's too heavy or too long. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of a bat being too light but never err on the side of having a bat that's too heavy. I warned you...we alw ...

    1. "Everything goes toward the pitcher." Your body should be going toward the pitcher and not toward third base if you are a right-handed hitter or toward first base if you are a left-handed hitter.

  • Baseball Tips On Hitting: How To Approach Hitting When You Are Behind In The Count!
    By: Larry Cicchiello | - If a baseball hitter falls behind in the count at 0-2 or 1-2, he is forced into more of a defensive mode. When the hitter is ahead in the count, he can decide what type of pitch and pitch location he will swing at.

    Now, when the hitter is behind in the count, just the exact opposite is true. Now he must swing at the pitcher's pitch. The pitcher basically now decides what the hitter has to swing at and the hitter can no longer be selective as to what he would like to hit. The hitter ...
