How to finish a successful baseball stroke

So you're ready to perfect your baseball swing by learning how to do a proper finish with good timing, bat speed, and accuracy to the ball

. Finish is as important to hitting as any of the other batting steps. In fact, a good finish usually tells us that the previous action was correct. So if you're finish is off, so are the preceding steps in the hitting process. This brief, easy to learn baseball-hitting technique will help!

The stroke from stance to contact travels one-half the distance of those that sweep or loop, thereby giving the hitter an enormous advantage. The smooth finish tells that the stroke was correct, because the hitters cannot finish well at the completion of a poor hitting stroke.

Many hitters like to finish with only the lead hand on the bat, which is very popular today. However, this is not recommended. When the power hand comes off the bat at the finish, this will not usually present a problem. However, if the power hand releases too soon because the hitter has been n fooled by the pitch, or if he has poor turning action, this will cause a reaching problem. The hitter is best served when he assures hit stroke by taking the power hand through to the completion of the stroke.

Try using this "finish position" next time you're up at bat or when coaching players. It will significantly improve each hitter's batting average.
