batting

How to hit

1. When you are up to bat, the first thing you do is get a helmet for protection.

2. Then you grab a bat.

3. Next stand on the right or left side of the plate depending on if you're a lefty or righty.

4. You should stand with your feet about a shoulders width apart. Hold your elbow up but not up too far.

5. The first step in hitting the ball is to take a step toward the pitcher when the pitcher takes his step foward.

6. Then you turn the front of your body toward the pitcher. When you do this, you turn/twist your foot.

7. The next step is to make a level swing.

8. Follow through on your swing so you get the full amount of power.

Remember: DON'T SWING AT ANYTHING BELOW YOUR KNEES OR ANYTHING HIGHER THAN YOUR SHOULDERS.
