Preach
The worst thing you can do as a hitter is walk up to the plate without a plan.
You have to create a plan by
- what pitches will you eliminate
- what pitches you are going to go for
1. When it comes to assessing the pitcher these are the questions we want to ask ourself…
- what is she throwing ?
- what does she throw in certain counts?
- does she get ahead or behind ?
- her grip does she tip off any pitches ?
2. When it comes to assessing the situation these are the questions we want to ask ourselves…
- how many outs ?
- do we have base runners & where?
- how has the ump been calling?
- read the defense (shifts, positioning, ect.)
3. What are your strengths ?
- what pitches do you like as a hitter?
We are looking to hit OUR pitch!
We can do all this assessing prior to our at bat learning through our teammates at bats! Cheer your team on but also but a student of the game and have a plan!!
