i had my first game yesterday and i went 0-5 at the plate, but i had the best game ever behind the plate at catcher. i didnt have any past balls and i threw out 2 out of 3 runners. I am really disapointed about my game at the plate, going 0-5 without even getting my bat on the ball one solid time. i grounded out 3 times, K'd one time, and was called out on a bunt for stepping out of the batters box. I am really disapointed, and i was wondering if somebody could help me with what i should do after such a bad game the first game of the season. Thanks.

You can (1) try and improve your throwing so you can nail 3 out of 3 or (2) hit line drives instead of ground balls (ground balls will get you nowhere (3) don't strike out, make contact (even a ground ball is better than a k) (4) brush up on the rules so you know not to step out of the box (5) give up and take up badmiton (6) seek advice from Joe A
