Hitting Drills for Baseball are Crucial for Success

Definition of Success Coaching

Of course, winning is the preferred outcome when scorekeeping is in play. But, when one thinks about it, there is something better for youth sports coaches than winning. Being remembered in a positive way by your players for a long time, or even forever, is better than winning. That is what success coaching is all about.

Are there really secrets to success?

One of the highlights of my MLB career was hitting a game-winning sacrifice fly for the Seattle Mariners in the 17^th inning in a game in old Yankee Stadium. So, I feel like I have a few of the secrets to success. Of course, it has taken me many years since my playing days to figure out what they were.

The perfect baseball swing is what every hitter aspires to achieve. However, many players, particularly young ballplayers, face difficulties in developing the perfect swing due to incorrect hitting position. As mentioned earlier, the hitting position is critical to hitting success. It refers to the position of the body before and after the hitter's stride foot lands. Unfortunately, most young hitters have incorrect upper body hitting position or lower body position after the stride, leading to hitting problems.
