How can i improve my baseball hitting?

Question

I always make contact but it always goes to shortstop or third base. What can i do?

Answer 1

Without seeing you swing, it's a little tougher to say what might be the problem. However, if you are constantly pulling the ball, you might be pulling your front shoulder and head out a little too early. Try this the next time that you are hitting off the tee or batting practice. Take your chin and rest it on your front shoulder. Now when you swing try to keep your chin in contact with your shoulder. You won't be able too, but it will keep your shoulder in and you should be able to start driving the ball up the middle. Also, I don't know how good your pitch recognition is, but try swinging at the inner half of the ball, ie the half closest to you. This should shoot the ball up the middle or the other way.  

Answer 2

You might wanna try going to the batting cages and waiting a little longer.  You might want to try stepping up in the box. hope that helps

Answer 3

Practice. I would take some lessons with a Hitting coach..

Answer 4

You are swinging too soon (assuming your are a righty).  It never hurts to work with a batting coach so you can stay sharp on the basics and get feedback.

Also, make sure that you are not pulling your lead foot to the left.

Answer 5

hit it somewhere else
