Youth Baseball Batting Tips - The Fundamentals
By Guest Author Jeffery A Wise

Learning youth baseball batting tips and practicing them thoroughly will practically guarantee a successful baseball hitting career. The best time to learn these tips is when you're young. Knowing the fundamentals of hitting will develop into lifelong skills.

My father taught me tips for hitting when I was a youth and those skills have stuck with me to this day. If you are a parent, be patient in teaching your child these fundamentals one at a time. If you are a young ball player, seek help from a parent or coach to make sure you're grasping these tips correctly. Remember that it takes time to develop skills. Even professional ball players practice batting fundamentals every day.

Here are the fundamentals you need to be the best baseball hitter you can be.


Keep your head down and eyes on the ball. Youth tend to keep their eyes on the pitcher or somewhere else on the field. Instead, they should practice keeping their eyes on the ball. From the moment it leaves the pitcher's hand to the moment they make contact with the bat. One way to practice this from the beginning is to hit off of a tee. You can go to any open ball field and practice. Another way to practice is by doing soft toss. Have your father, friend or coach get on one knee and underhand toss you the ball and swing into the protective net if your field is equipped with one or if you have one. You can do this in your backyard or at the ball field. These drills will help you focus, keeping your eyes on the ball.
Stand correctly in the batter's box. Make sure you are standing in the box shoulder width apart with your feet square and in line with the pitcher. Keep it simple in the beginning. Bend at the knees a little and hold the bat at or just below your chest and four to six inches away from your body. Make sure you feel comfortable in the box. If you don't feel comfortable, you won't get as many hits as you want.
Have a smooth, never changing swing. You can practice your swing anywhere virtually. Your goal should be to take a few dozen swings every day. Your swing should be smooth from start to finish. It shouldn't be jerky.
Always hustle. Whether you get a walk, ground out, fly out or a clean hit, always hustle to first base and wait for instructions from your first base coach. Sometimes that hustle will turn into an extra base or force the other team to make an error. Hustling also shows your coaches that you're serious and dedicated. Coaches like to see players who hustle and work hard.
Have fun. Relax and play the way the game was first intended. Have fun! If batting becomes a chore or no fun then you definitely won't be as successful hitting as you would if you were having fun.

These basic youth baseball batting tips should be practiced regularly. As time progresses, these fundamentals will become second nature to you and will stay with you the rest of your life.
