There really isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to stand in the box. Just make sure you're comfortable, balanced, have good vision and step towards the pitcher when you swing. Stand close enough to the plate to protect the outside corner. Keep your eye on the ball, swing like you mean it, and only good things can happen. Good luck!Who had the ugliest uniforms in MLB history?
striking out has not a lot to do with how you stand. but you stand with you feet sholder with appart.You stand however you find is good for you. Everybody has a different position for batting. Some people have their elbows above their heads, some have their feet open, some stand farther away from or closer to the plate than others, and then there is the Bagwell stance. How you are standing probably doesn't have too much to do with your batting as much as your ability to hit the ball does. All I can suggest is trying to stand differently. Just experiment.

hey i bet i can strike you outWhich baseball player has the coolest name?
well, I am a expert at baseball,so you could swing in different stances, theres bent, theres strait, but what ever way your comfortable with. and here is some tips. try to get the bat to hit the ball as strait as possible. And when you are running to first, NEVER slide to first, they can call you out no matter whatTough question that i know the answer of?
Stance is an important element in learning to hit. Once you become comfortable making contact then you can experiment with differt comfort levels and make your stance your own. Until then the keys to hitting are as follows:1. Balance...in order to maintain proper balance make you feet square to your shoulders, the feet should come out at a 45 degree angle from shoulder position and be only spread as wide as your shoulders are.
2. Next is to put more weight on your back leg with only the ball and toes of your front foot on the ground, flat footed will slow the bat down. Once you are in that position you need a slight knee bend, nothing dramatic...pretend to start to sit in a chair. That will give you balance throughout the swing.
3. Next is hand alignment...make both fists and line up the knuckles at the hand where the fingers start . Now twist them back half way between the knuckle and the first knuckles of you fingers. half way in between and you have acheived proper hand placement.
4. Last is swing and follow through...try hard to watch the ball hit the bat (keep your head tucked in and follow the ball with your eyes the entire way). Hitters tend to want to look up to see the ball after it is hit, you will learn how to follow the ball after the hit once you learn to hit. Once you feel the ball hit the bat.FOLLOW THROUGH! Too many hitters slow or stop the swing on contact, you must continue the swing and practice swinging the bat completely through until the bat follows all the way on top of your front shoulder (if your swing hits your shoulder it is to low, it should slide right up over the shoulder almost to the neck).
Work on those key elements and pretty soon you will have success hitting the ball, then once you gain consistency you can develope your most comfortable approach. One trick to use while learning is to have someone stand a couple of feet away with golfball size whiffleballs (can be bought just about anywhere) and have them flip them to you, have them throw some straight past you, some to almost hit you and some that you need to reach out a bit for. This will teach bat control and balance. Good luck!
If you could use players for just defense and just offense, who would you use?
If you are looking from the catchers point of view, stand to the left if you are right handed and to the right if you are left handed. Your problem could be you stand to close to the plate or you swing to early or to late.Will the Indians win the AL Central?
alright well here are some tips that my coaches are always giving me...1- put your weight on your back foot, itll keep you balanced and allow you to hit the ball with more force
2- when you swing, draw the knob on the handle of the bat towards the ball instead of just spinning the bat around you (this will give it more direction and will get in fair territory)
3 - timing! you gotta get your timing down! if the pitches are fast then step back towards the catcher so your front tow is even with the back corner of the plate. this will give you more time
4 - be confident. be sharp. if you start to get nervous youll swing at anything! that includes the ones that are over your head
5 - alot of people will lose their balance and there shoulders will be totally open to the field when they swing...thats a sign that you just backed away from the ball
6 - step into your swing!
but other than that i think youll benefit from having another player or coach watch your swing and tell you whats doing wrong
good luck! hope this helps!
