Combat Adult Baseball Bats

How do I choose the right bat?
In most cases, bats are measured in inches and weighed in ounces. Typically, a bigger, stronger player will prefer a longer heavier bat, while a smaller player will prefer a shorter lighter bat. Since a player's power is generated through bat speed, it is important that you can swing your bat through the strike zone at maximum speed. Keep in mind that the right bat for you is based on personal preference. Make sure the bat you pick feels good when you swing it.

Fungo Golf
When you get to the ball field early and have some spare time, grab some buddies and play some fungo golf (fungos are best but any bat will do). Pick a spot on the field to hit to and tee off. The person to hit the target in the least amount of strokes wins the hole. Pick different targets all over the field and get in as many holes as possible before the rest of the team shows up. Believe it or not this game will help with bat control.

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.
