    Struggling with Hitting

    She has been having a hard time making contact with the ball and when she does make contact it’s usually been pretty weak. Any advice on what’s wrong with her swing?

    18u DD Running, Hitting, and Steaing

    My DD’s season has officially ended. She just had her last tournament August 1st. She did pretty good this year. She had 23 steals out of 30ish games (she had the most steals on the team. The person with the 2nd most steals was the CF with 9) and was only caught stealing once. To celebrate her...

    18u DD Running, stealing, and hitting

    My DD’s 18u team had a tournament last weekend. Her team didn’t end up winning due to it being an open tournament and our mid B team got crushed by an A team. However, my DD did pretty good when it came to running and stealing. My DD also stole home for her first time. Here are some videos of my...

    How to help my talented young players overcome fear in the batters box

    Hi everyone. First post on DFP, glad I found it, seems like a great resource. I'm the head coach for a 10U travel team. I'm having trouble with some of my players being scared in the box and simply not swinging during the game. They are all great hitters in the batting cage and have received...

    change strike zone

    Not sure where to post this, seeing that I am new. I was recently told by an umpire that my two players that come to the plate and squat are not changing their strike zone (making smaller). He said that he takes it from the natural stance. This is their natural stance. I'm not fully...

    Bunting Position before hitting

    Mallory Hitting Help

    Gang, my name is Don. Here is a link to an unlisted video of my daughter hitting. She is 13 (8th grade) playing on a 16U showcase team. This is a six minute clip of several different scenarios (BP, Game). I posted a video primarily of her swing and misses because I think there is a lot to be...

    Anti-Slap Hitting Coach.....

    Hi Folks, One my DD's Coaches thinks that Slap Hitting is a waste. Whenever I mention slap hitting to him he gets a bit agitated and starts spurting negative comments, trying to discourage me from looking into this. He says things such as "hitters don't need to slap hit" and he won't even...

    How to decide earlier to swing or not?

    My 17yo dd averages about 1-2 hits per game this year but she really lets the ball get in on her before she decides to swing, so basically she is swinging late and not getting good extension or power. Is anything I can do to help her with deciding earlier when to swing? I have a tee with a net...

    Hitting Game I came up with

    Hey everyone, I came up with this game, curious to hear what everyone's thoughts are. In other words, I think it's brilliant and want confirmation, lol. I usually have 8-10 girls so I split them up into two teams of equal size. 5 batters and 5 infielders. I usually have a coach playing catcher...
