Yes, a batter should watch the ball making contact with the bat. The batter should have his head turned toward the pitcher in a very comfortable position, as if he or she were watching TV. When near the point of contact, the batter should turn his head back a little and try to watch the bat hit the ball. If the batter does not turn his head, he will be looking at the ball out of the corner of his eye. I don't know of any person on this planet who can see something better out of the corner of their eyes. Hitting is tough and you must get a good look at the ball to have any chance at being successful.

Does a hit and run count an at bat?
No, a hit and run does not count as an official at-bat for the player who is at the plate if the batter does not make contact with the ball. If the batter swings and misses or if the ball is not put in play, it is typically considered a strike, and the at-bat is recorded. However, if the batter makes contact and the ball is put into play, it counts as an at-bat regardless of the outcome of the play.

What happens to a ball when a girl hits it with a bat?
When a girl hits a ball with a bat, the bat transfers kinetic energy to the ball, causing it to accelerate and move in the direction of the hit. The impact also creates a force that can cause the ball to spin, depending on how the bat makes contact. The speed and distance the ball travels will depend on factors like the force of the swing, the angle of impact, and the type of ball being used. As a result, the ball typically flies away from the point of contact at a high speed.

a baseball bat is a "lever" in the way that the ball comes off the bat. When the baseball makes contact with the bat, the bat gives, or bends. What causes the ball to then travel is when the bat snaps back into a straight object. Thus, the bat is, in a way, a lever.
