practice versus live pitching

Posted by: Maximum () on Tue Aug 28 21:09:34 2001

How come I hammmer the ball in BP but in a game I can't hit? Sometimes in a game I kinda freeze when he pitches, I don't get my feet and legs in a good hitting position, therfore no hips, all arms, my arms extend too early, plus I miss the ball entirely?
But sometimes I get good mechanics and sometimes I don't. Is there anyreason why? Is it because I'm not focused or because I haven't practiced this swing enuff to have it automatic to me?
What can I do to rid this problem?
