The baseball player must be able to compete with faster pitching today.After coaching 1,000′s of baseball players, I can help you with this. All of the steps to hitting a baseball are the same for both softball and baseball.
In today’s game it is absolutely essential that the good hitter is “short to the ball” with a good compact stroke.
A major part of being the best hitter we can be is to be “tough to strike out.” A good hitter should have no more than a 10% strike-out ratio. The strike out gives us NO chance to help our team.Not making contact with the ball, it allows the defense to make an easy out.
While no one has to be convinced that a strike out is not good, we cannot fear the strike out. We must not let it affect our boldness when we come up to bat.You shouldn’t enjoy it, you should dislike it and avoid it like the plague, but never allow fear in yourself.Each time we come to the plate, we will be able to make contact.
So the first part of the process is TOTAL CONFIDENCE, to completely eliminate our fear of the strike out.
Part two is “How do we do this?
The Super 8 Hitting System gives us the softball hitting tips to practically eliminate striking out.It gives you all the secrets in baseball batting.Most call it the “drive” action. It is short, direct, and will immediately improve contact.
By consistently practicing the “drive” action, the softball player can be assured that she can improve her ability to put the ball in play over 90% of the time.
To do this, the player gets into a “45º drive position”, which means that before we initiate the stroke, we rotate the hips half way to the pitcher.Right handed hitters, the bottom of the bat and your belly button are pointed where the 2nd baseman plays. Then all the hitter needs to do is to snap the bat on the ball.
We fully explain the “drive action” in our system in a series of baseball hitting videos, which includes many softball hitting tips.
