Get To It, Get Through It
Lots of good hitting instructors teach, “Short to the ball, long through it.” That is a sound theory. However, that quote needs explanation to the baseball novice. As a hitter, you want to be as quick as you can to contact, and then follow through fully to maximize power.

Little League Coaching Tips for Practice Planning, Rules and Strategy
Coaching a Little League team can be fun and rewarding. Coaching a Little League team can also be extremely difficult for those who underestimate the importance of preparation and education. This is not only true for those who have little experience with baseball. Those who are former players and avid MLB fans also need the proper preparation and education to be a successful Little League coach. Success should not be measured in wins and losses but rather the overall experience that can be provided to the team.
Barreling Up The Ball
Without getting into technique or timing, one of the things many youth hitters need to focus on is consistently hitting the ball hard, i.e. putting the barrel on the ball. Regardless of the drill (tee work, soft toss, front toss, live batting practice, etc), if they can do this, chances are their swing is pretty consistent. But many moms, dads and coaches will ask how to practice this. Here are a few tips to take your hitter to the next level.
Observations From the World Series: Observe Game Conditions
This is part two of a three part post on observations from the 2012 World Series.
Hitting Slumps - Pitch Selection
We talked the other day about timing. If your timing is off in your approach, your consistent hard contact will suffer. Coaches will say a lot of things to help hitters get out of slumps. “Swing at the first pitch,” “Don’t let yourself get to two strikes,” “Be aggressive,” “Take until you get a strike, see some pitches.” What does all this stuff mean to a hitter? The bottom line, your hitter may be swinging at bad pitches or letting good pitches go by. Once you get into your season and you feel your timing is good, pitch selection is the now the key.
