Girls Softball Batting Style?
Question:My wife and I live near a college and enjoy attending their sporting events. After watching a few girls sofball games we are curious as to why some of the girls start running as they are swinging!?! If you are an "experienced" player you probably know what I'm talking about.Could you please explain the theory behind this seemingly awkward batting style.

this is a slap hit. it is just another way to hit the ball. example... there is a bunt in baseball where the ball does not travel far with teh intent to advance runners. the slap hit has its own purpose to move back fielders and react to the pitch.As stated above, it is a style of hitting that serves a purpose just like the bunt. This tactic is also used in professional baseball as well. Many left handed hitters do this to get a jump to first base. Ichiro Suzuki uses this tactic everytime he hits. Many people also do this to get some push behind a ball to help them hit it, using their back leg and stride into the ball putting some force in the swing.
