Mental Approach to Baseball Hitting : Baseball Hitting: Watching the Pitcher

hitting quicker pitching?

so i have been playing baseball for a long time now and recently been thinking that faster pitching is harder for me to hit not because of lack of physical capabilities but its all mental. i alsways am jumping out at the ball or wait too long on an inside pitch. alot of people i dont even know will see me hitting in the cage and tell me or my dad i have reaaly quick hands. so i should be able to hit faster pitches. im always worried ill get fooled on the off-speed stuff so it throws me off

Just think about going back up the middle. Start your stride when the pitcher releases it but stay back. If you stay back it doesn’t matter if it’s an inside fastball or an off speed pitch you can still get around on it. Have some body you trust throw bp to you at full speed standing in the batters box without a bat . Try to pick up the rotation and read the pitch then try to call it out inside outside down the middle high low and the type of pitch. Take BP with a heavier bat it will give you more bat speed and the lag from using it will make the ball seem like it’s coming in faster. It’s all about the preparation if you are prepared you can hit it. The difference between 90 and 70 is only about a tenth of a second. So if you can read the pitch that much faster you can hit it.
