> I am a firm believer in methods that are unorthodox, because some kids are not comfortable with the perfect swing. I have been coaching little league base ball for years and find that most coaches and ,so called professionals think that their style fits all hitters.A kids instinctive ability to hit a well thrown pitch from a certain batting stance or style comes from confidence and ability to adjust his knees and shoulders with respect to the hands, and let his waist and hips get in rythme with the delivery of the pitches timing.Power hitting comes from about 99% of natural ability and strength.I am not a believer in teaching kids to swing for the fence at every at bat.


Hi Mark welcome to the web sight.

The fence should not be the target.But hitting the ball hard should be the goal of every at bat. Sometimes because of pitch location, miss judged pitch speed batters have to adjust and just get the bat on the ball when two strikes is on the end of the pitch count. BUT from launch to contact what almost every elite hitters does is identical.
