Stepping into the plate

Posted by: You know it... () on Wed May 23 12:01:59 2001

My coach has also been teaching me to step into the plate. It's not a huge step, but rather just a six inch step to the plate. Is this good advice or bad advice?

Also, one of my other coaches is telling me to have my swing end up below my chest. The normal swing would be for the hands and arms to be extended at or above your head. Should listen to my coach or swing the normal way?

I am playing at a high school level and want to know if I am getting good advice or bad.
