At one time
or another,
nearly every
Little League
coach has
encouraged a
batter to “see
the pitch … hit
the pitch.” Such
a simple mantra
sounds
elementary, but
will it make the
game easier or
more difficult
now that the
pitch count is
part of Little
League Baseball?

Batting Tips
By
Michele Smith
1. Choosing
the Proper Bat..
2. Grip.
3. Setting your
Feet in the
Batter's Box and
Stance.
4. The Stride as
the Pitch is
Coming.
5. The Swing.
It is the
top of the fifth
inning. The
first batter
walks. The next
batter doubles
to right. The
umpire realizes

the inning

the runners to
remain on base
or do you start
the inning over?

Better Leagues

They have to

love working

Leagues with
knowledgeable,
caring and
concerned
coaches have an
advantage when
it comes to
making the games
fun and
retaining
players.
