Hitters Tip - Pitcher's Body Language
To be a good hitter it is always a good idea to watch the pitcher and try to pick up small changes in body language when different pitches are being thrown (curveball, fastball, changeup). In high school there usually are small signs that can tip off what pitch is coming. A common one is the angle that the pitcher holds the glove at.

Aluminum Bat Care Tips
Limit the bat to your individual use only. Rotate the bat 1/4 turn each swing. Do not use in temperatures below 60° (16° C). Do not store the bat in extreme hot or cold temperatures, such as in a car trunk or garage. Do not clean metal spikes or cleats with your bat. Use with leather-covered balls only, not plastic or rubber cage balls. Do not hit waterlogged balls. If using a softball bat, do not use balls that exceed 400lbs. compression. Routinely check your plastic end cap and replace it if it cracks or becomes loose.

Batting Drill - Golf Balls
To develop hand-eye coordination and bat control, get a bag of the whiffled “perforated” golf balls and have a friend pitch them to you. Concentrate on hitting the golf ball on the center of the barrel. Once you get the hang of it, start hitting them to all parts of the field, 5 to the right, 5 up the middle, and 5 to the left.
