Baseball Bats

Hitters Tip - Watch the 0-2 Count
In the early innings of a game, watch to see where the opposing pitcher throws the pitch on an 0-2 count. Most coaches will have their pitcher either throw low and outside, or high at your eyes to try to get you to chase one. It will help to be prepared for what’s coming if you get yourself into an 0-2 count.

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.

Reverse Soft toss
This is the same as normal soft toss with a twist. Have your coach or partner who is tossing the ball move from in front of you to directly behind you. Take your normal batting stance and catch up with the ball as it comes through the zone. It will take a few to get the hang of it. You should be able to catch up with the baseball and still be able to drive it into the net. This drill is great for bat speed and hand-eye coordination
