Unfortunately this is not as easy as major leaguers make it look. Hitting a small object that is being thrown at high speeds by a pitcher, who is doing everything he can to stop you from hitting it, is not an easy task. Yet many players do become great hitters, and you can too if you practice and have enough determination. See below for a few great ideas for making you a better hitter.
With today's technology, you can learn to become a better hitter by using video. Ask someone you know to videotape you when you get to the plate. This should not only be once, but several times, so you can get an idea of how you swing against different pitchers. Have a coach or another person who is familiar with hitting talk about the video with you. What is so helpful about this plan is that you can rewind the video and watch it over and over again and concentrate on certain areas such as your stance or swing. Many times you can find the specific thing that you should focus on and change.
It is also important to choose the right equipment. Choose the bat that's perfect for you to practice your swing and hit. It's important to buy a bat you find comfortable and light. Remember, the power from the bat comes from the speed of your swing, so it's better to have a lighter that you can swing faster. Metal bats are sometimes banned from competition but are excellent for practice. It's still important for you to be comfortable with a wooden bat too despite the rules on metal bats.
One method you can use to improve your hitting is to get a batting coach. If you are on a team, you probably get advice from the coach, but there is no substitute for finding someone who can work with you individually. You might not have to get a lot of sessions, but a great coach will make you game better by monitoring you and then telling you what needs to be changed. Search for a qualified batting coach in your town because this can be a huge difference in your growth as a hitter.
It can take a lot of time and effort to become a good hitter. A small amount of players are so good that they enter the league as good hitters, but most players must improve other things. The hitting suggestions that we have covered will help you to make improvements that you must work on. The feeling is wonderful when you make a good connection with the ball, so it would be a good thing for you to develop your skills so that it will happen for you every time.
