In northern Ohio, and trhoughout babseball camps. Baseball are taught a 1)turn 2)stride) 3)rotate 1) your lead foot turns slightly inward along with your inner thigh. this cocks your swings, bring it in, ready to explode 2) the stride is short and towards the pitcher 3) rotate, trun your hips, hands to the ball, squash the bug follow through.
question- I have not seen the frist step (turn) taught in fastpitch softball...is there a reason? Do you think this step would help girls hit better? more power? what do you think? I was always taught...turn..stride..rotate....
