Hitting can be broken down into three segments; SEE, REACT, SWING. You watch the ball in the pitcher's hand during the windup and you watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand when it is thrown and you watch the spin of the ball as it comes towards the plate. That is SEE. You determine what the pitch is (fastball, curveball, etc.), you determine where the ball is going to go and you determine whether it is headed towards an area that you think you can get good wood on it. That is REACT. You swing if you like the pitch or don't swing if you don't like the pitch. That is SWING. It doesn't make any difference whether you are playing with a tennis ball or a Golf ball or a Baseball. The theory and mechanics are the same. So, to answer your question I would say the more you practice the better you will be, regardless of the type of ball you use to practice with.

What are the three best pitches a pitcher needs to be successful?

In my view and other people may differ, a starting pitcher needs a good fastball, good curve and a slider. A pitcher sent in to pitch a closer, say one batter, a fast ball is best, realizing that facing a good fastball hitter better see some smoke on the fastball!! I realize I am sticking my head out on this one.


What is bestter mvp baseball 2004 or 2005?

2005 is better in my opinion, because of the addition of of the Hitters Eye, which really levels the playing field between hitter and batter. In '04 it was impossible to tell whether a pitcher was throwing a 99mph fastball or a 77mph curveball until it was too late. The hitters' eye simulates the little things a hitter can pick up on such as grip or release point that couldn't be put into a PS2 game's graphics. It plays smoother on defense as well, allowing for more touch fielding w/ the right joystick.

What kind of pitch is a slider?

A slider is a pitch in baseball that breaks laterally and down. It is not thrown at the velocity that a fastball is thrown at, but its velocity is faster than a curve ball. The break on a slider is not as big as a curve ball. The slider is similar to a cut fastball, but will break more than a cut fastball.

What is the difference between a sinker and a two seam fastball?

A two-seam fastball is thrown the same way as a four seam fastball, the only difference is the grip. It has more late breaking movement than a four seam fastball. For a righty it tends to rise in on a right handed hitter. For this reason, if thrown in the middle of the zone, it will jam a hitter and produce weak hits. A sinker is the same pitch, but thrown down in the zone with slightly more wrist snap. Throwing this pitch down in the zone produces a late break downwards. The desired result is weakly hit ground balls. Both pitches are easy to learn and easy on the arm as they do not require anything except the normal throwing motion.

If a hitter is swinging behind a fastball what should you not do?

You shouldn't come too close or too far away. At least a foot away and usually you try to aim the ball and get a homerun, run, or a line drive.
