> I have a problem with my swing, beginning with my inability to keep my front foot in the batters box. I am a lefty, with an incredibly fast swing, yet I cant hit anything because my front foot pulls out of the box and then my head goes with it.
> How do I stop my front foot from pulling out?
> What could be causing this foot to come out of the box? Could it be an inmate reaction to the fear of being hit?

> Please help, any suggestions are welcome.



More than anything this may be a result of trying to pull the ball too much. Practice keeping your head down (at least at the level of the pitch) when you swing. Don't look at the flight of the ball until you have finished following through with your swing. So basically your head should be in the same position when you were looking at the location of the pitch until the end of your follow through.
