Baseball Strike Zone Tips

Coaching the baseball strike zone to youth baseball players is a continual process and a complicated one. I say complicated for a couple of reasons. First, many beginners have little understanding of the game of baseball, mainly because today's kids do not watch the game much as they did years ago. They must learn what constitutes a strike, a ball and the overall strike zone. Secondly, just telling a ballplayer what the strike zone parameters are, do not make it easy to follow and automatically pick up.

Many youth play in fall baseball leagues these days. I am all for kids doing that as long as they have time away from the game in the winter. The problem is that baseball is not an easy game to succeed at. If players are only playing games without another day or two of practice, the results may harm players going into the following year more than help them. Not only can their confidence be affected negatively, injuries, especially to the throwing arm, are more possible without other days of throwing.

Baseball Practice Errors that Do not Go into theScore book

Serious baseball players cannot wait to play ball again. There is nothing more exciting than that first day back throwing a ball and swinging a bat for baseball players. However, players must be careful of these early baseball practice mistakes. Of course, that enthusiasm makes it tough to avoid these mistakes, so adult supervision is necessary.

Indoor Baseball Practice Notice

First, a crucial baseball coaching note "Nothing ruins a practice, or possibly even the season, more than having a player hit in the face or upside the head with a baseball, or with a bat."

I wish my coaches had used the show and tell baseball coaching technique when I was playing baseball, as the knowledge of how and why I was doing baseball skills would have helped me make necessary adjustments, when things were not going so well. If I only knew then what I know now a coach's constant lament. It is difficult for coaches to know what ballplayers are really learning.
