When I had trouble hitting the ball as a kid, my dad got a bunch of tennis balls and put black X's on some of them. He would then pitch me the balls and ask me to only hit the balls that had the X's on them. This forced me to watch the balls a lot more closely as he was pitching. I also spent a lot of time at the batting cages. Anyway, that worked for me, I hope it can help you and your son as well! Good luck!Im not a red sox fan but i watched the game lastnite.?
What worked for me was pretending the ball was one of my teachers. There was one in particular that was out to get me. I was just thinking how much I wanted to get away from her. And it worked! But I was in middle school. Tell him to pretend like its something he doesn't like. Maybe the ball is a spider! He wants to get it far away from him!Did you see Igawa try to hit that guy on the upper deck?
Buy him a chess set. Maybe baseball just is not his thing. But keep him away from soccer. That sport sucks.I dont know the formula for pace, so what date is bonds on pace to hit no. 755 (he just hit 741)?

An old fashioned butt whoopin got me to start hittin the old ball!!Help i need help with some softball cheers its due tommorow for literature?
He's probably just taking his eye off the ball. Have him work on bunting first; that way, he is seeing the ball hit the bat without swinging. Then he can work on swinging. My coaches always said, "Catch the ball with the bat."Who will roger clemens wind up with?

The Goal: Fundamentals
The Fundamentals of Baseball
Hitting
1. Stride and Separation- a short step forward with weight going slightly back on back leg. 40-60 split. Also hands separating back as you take the short stride. Make sure hands go back about 3-6 inches, keeping a flex in your front elbow, don’t lock it out. Hands should go straight back not up or down. Head doesn’t move forward, key to stay still! (Practice by dry work, soft toss and T-Work.)
2. Backside turn- the swing starts from the ground up, and back foot must lead before anything else. Get on the toe, only a slight turn—not too much. Hands do not move forward stay going back. Make sure front hip, shoulders do not move as well. (Practice by dry work and soft toss or also t-work.)
3. Front Leg Straight, Knob of Bat inside Ball-. At this point you recognize pitch and location. You start by continuing to turn back foot then bring knob of bat inside ball, wherever pitch is. Both hands should be close to body as possible. Shoulders rotate across no dipping. At impact, front knee is straight, front elbow is straight, back elbow is bent close to body and underneath, and you are finishing behind ball. Back leg at impact is a L and Head is directly inline with back knee. Practice by, t-work and follow-through drill in mirror.
4. Finishing the swing and balanced- Full turn with back foot, and weight should be back and finish balanced “behind the ball”. Bat finishes through as well balanced!
Little keys:
T-Work is the easiest way to practice the four steps. Middle pitch line up tee in line with front leg and outside pitch with back leg. Practice no stride to give the feeling of balance and stride. Always think inside half of the ball by attacking inside (think taking knob of the bat inside the ball.) Outside pitch nothing changes, except where you hit it and just have to wait longer. Inside pitch, recognize and turn a little more on back foot before hands come forward. Off speed, recognize and keep weight and hands back (step 2) taking the pitch up the middle or to opposite field.
Training: dry work; practicing the 4 points mentioned above.
Soft toss; another person tossing the ball about waist high (in, mid, away)
T-Work; using a tee and practicing inside, middle, and outside pitches
Our Goal: To successfully teach these basics to take into the game. Only going to be done by practicing these 4 steps repeatedly over time and by doing these steps correctly. Perfect practice makes perfect.
