Hit Baseball and Hit It Well


There are only a few different outcomes to a hitter during their at-bat.  You can bunt the baseball, hit baseball or strike out.  Sometimes it’s necessary to bunt but other than that, you want to hit the baseball … or strike out.

Okay, so when should you bunt?  It’s ultimately up to your coach but here are a few situations when you would want to bunt the ball.  If your coach gives you the freedom to bunt at will then go for it if the circumstance warrants it.

Every other time up to bat it’s better to hit the baseball and not air.  Nobody likes to hear or feel the big whiff.  We all strike out occasionally and that’s fine, but most of the time we at least want to put the ball into play and force the defense to make a play.

You never know, the fielder may make an error or you can actually beat the throw to first base.  Either way, you want to get on base to help your team win.  Isn’t that part of the reason you’re playing baseball?  To have fun, build character and win games.

We can hit baseball better by practicing hitting drills and taking batting practice as often as we can.  Hitting takes discipline and there’s no better way to obtain this than by making it a daily habit.

This is true for a beginner and someone who is advanced too.  Hard work and consistency will ensure that you have a better chance at hitting the baseball.
