What are some reasons for being late on the ball?
Going the other way really is an art. Therefore, you really need to have mastered your swing to be ANY good at ooposite field hitting. It's basically about dragging the bats head thru hitting area, staying inside the baseball in that you dont want to hook the ball by getting the head of bat around the outside of the ball, u want to allow the ball to get on you. When you pull the ball, you want to meet it out infront of the plate. And you want the bats head to come forward infront of your hands. But to go opposite field, your hands should come forward before the bat head (i.e. Dragging the bat head thru hitting zone), you want the ball to get on you more and start yer swing a tiny bit later than you normally do. Balls away from you are easier to d that with, because you dont need to be quite as late with yer swing because the ball is away so if u get bat head to ball in all likelihood the ball will got away from you when you hit it. The hard pitch is taking ball to opposite field when its bearing in on you... thats when you see jam shots and broken bats in Baseball.

Were can i get a coa for my baseball?
Wait for the pitch just a tad longer.What does the abrivation PPD mean in basaball?
Close stance a little,stay on back foot---then timing is all.Inside or middle of plate tough.Middle to outside best.You can't pull an outside pitch,can't push an inside pitch.A good batter "goes with the pitch" and doesn't try to go the other way on a pitch that is difficult to hit there.Just step closer to the plate with your front leg so your body is facing the side of field you want to hit to it works for all the people i know. Just take that one step in with your front leg which rotates your body but works well
Are you looking for a way to support AROD?
You could either create a stance that will enable you to take the pitch to the opposite fieldYou could hit a pitch to the outside corner of the plate and take it in that direction.
You could hit the ball late and aim to the opposite field
Do not turn on the ball because your reflexes are faster than the pitch and take the pitch of on the inside corner of the plate and use an inside and out swing or wait for one on the outside corner of the plate unless you have two strikes on you.
Ok, I already tried to ask this question, but accidentally left out part of it.?
Close your stance a bit. Wait for a pitch on the outside half of the plate. Wait a bit longer to begin your swing. When you swing, concentrate on bringing your hands through the hitting zone before the bat (i.e., keep your wrists cocked a bit longer to keep the head of the bat back). That is how I used to consistently hit the hole between 1st and 2nd as a right-handed hitter.More Questions & Answers...
