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 coaches rightly break players into groups to work on different aspects of the game as hitting, fielding, pitching, and base running, in order to get that repetitive work in. Additionally, they practice various game situations like cutoffs and relays, run-downs, bunt plays and double steals.
