locating the ball

Posted by: Erik () on Sat Oct 1 05:12:34 2005

Hi Jack,
I want to start a thread on finding the ball from the pitcher. I have heard different things about this subject but really this seems to be one of the most important aspects of being a consistent hitter. I understand the importance of mechanics and practice but I'm searching for the best way to locate the ball from the pitcher and to teach this to my students. I have heard that most hitters really don't locate the pitch until 15-17 ft in front of the hitter. I want this defined and I would like for anyone to post their ideas on this subject.

ERIK,
