Where To Stand in The Box

[cnardone]

I am not sure how far front 'front' is or how far back 'back is. I've taught my DD to have her front foot in line with where the angle changes on the plate. Frankly because this is where I felt comfortable. I feel like it gives as much time to see the ball while also having the 'hitting zone' still be a strike.

I have a feeling that @RADcatcher will love me for this one, only time I stand at the back of the box and on the plate is when I am trying to impede the catcher from doing their job.. anything to give my base runner a couple of feet, . Of course this can't be an identifiable pattern either.

@julray I may have occasionally swung through a pitch late just to keep the catcher back a little longer in that same vein.

I was too selfish to do stuff like that..

You mean playing small ball wins games sometimes?

Coach knew you would just miss anyway.. swing away pattar

@pattar If it’s a good pitch to hit and the runner is running put a swing on it. The worst thing you can do is take a pitch down the middle and give the catcher the easy throw

I put that one on a tee for you didn't I?

LOL, yeah.. at least you tried. I just bought the longest, fattest bat money could buy in preparation for the bunt

To be honest I remember very little from my playing days. I am sure I had to bunt,hit and run etc but I don't remember any of that...I only remember 3 ABs in my whole career. Two were good memories, the third got my rear sat on the bench after the coach told me that the pitch I swung at for a 3rd strike was a ball and I told him "No shirt.."
