Baseball Hitting Opposite Field
baseball hitting opposite field
What’s the best way to hit a baseball/softball to the opposite field?
Here are the methods I’ve tried so far:
1) swinging late and stepping into the pitch
2) making my swing more vertical and slicing off to the right
3) swinging with my torso and shoulders and not breaking my wrists on the follow through
So far the only hits I’ve gotten to go to RF are popups that land because no one’s there. Any suggestions?
keep your hands in and swing out……
