Your batting defensively, trying not to strike out, instead of hitting. When you go to the plate take a second, look at the defense and decide where you are going to hit the ball, not if. Concentrate on hitting the ball on the face, and not just hitting, but driving the ball hard. Attack the pitch.How much do mlb umpires make a year?
When you're at the plate, don't think at all. It's just you and the pitcher. Remember this equation--empty mind = full bat.Are There Any NBA Players Birthdays On July 12?
you could also be afraid of getting hit, but you just gotta clear your mind and not think about anything except making contact, dont think about killing the ball, getting a hit, or even striking out... baseball is 85% mental, and batting is all in your head.In early baseball season, do they say pitchers are ahead of hitters, or vice versa?

i go to the fields an hour early to the fields and practice with mydad! and all week i practice on good throws and good hitting. other than that i can tell you not to snack up on junk food and pop and get a good nights rest and have funHow do I convince my mom to let me play a sport next year?
when i go up to bat i get extremely nervous too, i also play for my highschool team. When i am up bat i just say this girl is just another teen like me and she can't do nothing to me, this helps be because when i practise with my team i can hit every ball. I also watch the pitcher with the ball and you watch until she releases it at her hip and then follow all the way through, have patience it will hit soon enough.Is Joakin Soria the closer for the KC Royals?
Batting is a mental game. You really answered your own question when you said you "think about not striking out".Start thinking "offensively" ( I will hit this ball ) - instead of trying to not make an out.
Confidence is the key. You know that you have already been very successful - so channel that success into the confidence you need.
I "have"
I "can"
I "will"

RELAX YOUR BODY AND FOCUS ON THE TIME YOU ARE IN THE BATTERS BOX AND SOONER THE YOU THINK YOU WILL COME THRUha same problem with me!
all you gotta do is be sharp, quick, and smart
i know some people will swing at rediculous pitches when they get nervous so just keep your mind sharp at the plate and try not to swing at those! i know those arent to common on varsity teams though so what i would do to get ready for that is to hit off of your own teams pitcher. those pitches are the closest thing your gonna get to the other pitchers in your conference.definately better than batting cages
good luck hope this helps
