How do you hit a baseball?

Answer 1

You have to have someone pitch (throw) the Baseball to a hitter who has a wooden or aluminum baseball bat. The battle keeps his eye on the ball and swings the bat at the ball.

If you want to know how to hit a baseball and hit it well, you can start out by making sure you have a good stance. stand next to the plate facing it giving yourself about 5-8 inches or so distance from the plate (distance varies on the batter, bat he or she is using, etc.) with your feet spread evenly apart at shoulder-width. Make sure to bend your knees and stay in an athletic position (more or your toes than flat footed). Hold the bat with your hands together at the bottom of the bat with your back hand over your top hand so that your knuckles are lined up. Cock the bat back behind your head with your hands about 5 inches behind your ears and tilit it back so it looks like a sliding board. Look at the pitcher. Make sure most of your wait is on your back leg. when the ball comes step twards the pitcher a little bit with your front foot (maybe 2 inches) And swing the bat around while you pivot your hips to face the pitcher and bring your wait from your back leg forward. This is where all your power comes from, not so much your arms but the rest of your body. When you pivot your hips you are also going to be pivoting on your back foot as if squishing a bug. When you swing you are basicaly throwing your hands out at the ball hard and then FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH YOUR SWING. Make sure you have a nice even cut when you swing the bat and not an upper cut (swinging up with the bat) because if you upper cut at the ball it will not go as far because you are hitting the bottom of the ball and this causes it to rotate forwards as it flys through the air so it will spin into the dirt. Hitting the top of the ball gives it backspin so it soars up into the air. And there you have it, how to hit a baseball. (I hope i didn't leave anything out.)

Answer 2

Trigger step with your front foot, get your hands in the ready position, after your trigger step get your hips turned, and have your hands follow all the way through with the bat, make a nice smooth swing, make good contact and it may go out.

Answer 3

You have to watch the ball right out of a pitchers hand, then step towards the pitcher and rotate your wrists towards the ball while your back foot pivots and you follow through.
