Getting Better At Hitting The Baseball


Hitting the baseball is one of the greatest feelings in the world.  It’s quite an accomplishment too.  You’ve practiced, you’ve mentally prepared and then in a live game you get a hit!  To this very day I remember many hits that I had and I can still remember everything in detail.  I especially remember the home runs and if I’m blessed to have grandchildren I will surely tell them my baseball stories.

The best time I had hitting the baseball were the hits where you didn’t feel anything.  You swung the bat and you hit the ball but it was as if you were swinging a feather at air.  Most of the time in my experience hits like those produced a base hit every time.  I remember a grand slam home run I had my junior year in high school where it all happened in slow motion.  I swung the bat and the ball rocketed over the fence in deep center field within seconds. 

How do you get better at hitting the baseball?  The right instruction, confidence, practice, hard work and determination are the keys.  You must understand and practice the basic hitting fundamentals if you want to hit better. 

Going to the batting cages every day isn’t the formula to use.  You must practice different hitting drills and live batting practice.  There is a lot you can do on your own but it’s best to get others involved.  This may be your father, teammates and coaches.  The more help you can get the better.  

The final thing I want to say is that you can do it!  Baseball is a mental game too and you must approach hitting with consistent confidence.  Don’t be timid or scared in the batter’s box.  Instead, believe you are going to do the best job you possibly can to help your team win.  Hitting the baseball will undoubtedly be one of those accomplishments you will think about often.
