Hitting Advice from Ashlye H. Toure
Stance & Setup in the Box
The hitter should find a balanced and relaxed position with the feet shoulder width apart and hips and shoulders stacked evenly. The hitter should hinge hips the back slightly, with hips sitting over the heels and a posture with the spine and chest angled slightly over the plate. Maintaining hinge and posture throughout the swing are extremely important for a successful swing.
Bat Grip
The hitter should hold the handle of the bat where the fingers meet the palm of the hand, or where the pads of the fingers are on the palm, and wrap the fingers around the handle. Door knocking knuckles will be somewhat aligned with each other. The hitter will set up the bat and hands near the back shoulder, with the bat angled slightly upwards, as if splitting the hitter’s helmet in half. The elbows of the hitter should remain relaxed, slightly angled away from each other.
